worried ftm, need advice/insight
my poor baby isn't feeling well today. she's 7.5 months. she's working on her two fang teeth and has been a little crabby and clingy the past week but she's normally a very independent girl and likes to play by herself. she had been putting herself to sleep too. I'd just give her a kiss, turn the white noise on and draw the shades, lay her down and tell her I love her and just walk out. she was always asleep within 10-15 minutes.
the past 2 days I can't do that at all, she screams bloody murder (and she almost never cries unless she actually needs something) so of course I go back in and try to just rub her back or pat her butt. she has been spinning herself and trying to pull up on my arms. so I try rubbing and patting a little more but she just breaks my heart and I end up pulling her out for a snuggle session. But then she doesn't want to snuggle either. She doesn't want to play. I know she's tired. But it's taking 30 minutes at least of rubbing her back to get her to sleep and that's after the whole rigamarole of getting her to settle down in the first place. I've tried putting her down before she seems tired and tgat doesn't work at all. and I've tried keeping her up a little longer but that hasn't worked either..
But that's not all. Her hands and feet have been very warm today but the rest of her felt normal. Temp was 98.3 underarm so 99.3 adjusted. And tgat was roughly 90 min after a dose of Tylenol.
She also slept from 6:30pm to 6:10am. First time she's slept through the night since her 4 month apt when I was told to wake her at night to feed bc she wasn't gaining properly. After we got the all clear she was still waking at least once but usually twice a night to feed.
She has no other symptoms, no cough or runny nose (except after a bout of crying) has had normal wet diapers (been offering water between bottles to keep her well hydrated) but I'm still worried since she's so off today. Is this normal for a teething baby? Her first two bottom teeth didn't give us this much trouble so I'm at a loss... I think I'll call her Dr if tomorrow is just as bad, just to put my mind at ease.

I think it's the one on her left that hasn't broken completely through that's giving her the real trouble

and she doesn't want to play today either. the only thing we can really do is lounge together (has to be touching me) and watch tv 😩
