Bradshaw's First Time Being Sick

No fever, no cough, no running nose, no stomachache...Bradshaw just completely stopped eating. Every time I try to feed him he screams in pain. Also, he won't sleep more than 45 minutes at a time during the night. He wakes up crying but not wanting to eat, just needing comfort.

It is terrible to have your baby in pain and not be able to comfort him. He got sick over the weekend so I have had Dustinn's support when I feel so helpless and nauseatingly worried. Dustinn plays with and sings to Bradshaw and makes him so happy.

Our wonderful pediatrician counseled with us on a Sunday afternoon and checked Bradshaw out. His stomach, ear, nose, throat and mouth are fine. The jury's still out on why he's decided to have an eating strike. He's not dehydrated, so we are trusting the doctor that he'll be fine.
