Help me figure out what was wrong?!
I did call the Pediatrician and he told me everything is normal and to do what I feel comfortable with. I can't imagine it is, so please share your opinions.
My DS was EBF until 5 1/2 months. I introduced a few fruits, one being bananas. I realized he was very constipated after and didn't give them to him again. He used to go 1-4x a day, now we are lucky if its 1x every 2-3 days. Ped said thats okay since he started foods, but he only has 1 jar a day. I don't give him oatmeal or rice ceral as I know that is constipating too. Does this sound normal?
I also started putting him in the crib at night which for 1 week was great, slept straight through. Sunday night he woke at 2am, 4am and 6am. He was cranky all day yesterday. Last night I gave him some Tylenol because his temp was 99.6, and his usual is 97.7. It was the first time I ever gave it to him. He slept straight through last night. I felt his gums, and i don't feel anything. He is on the smaller side, so I don't know if that matters with teething. He chomps on everything, but always has. His drooling is consistent.
I see the Ped next week but I am in interested to know if he is uncomfortable from constipation or teething...Also, is it ok to give him Tylenol the next few nights if hes obv in pain?
He is 6 months today. Anyone know what could be bothering him?!

I watched to make sure he isn't pulling on his ears, and he isn't. Are there any other signs? He seems really happy today so maybe a growth spurt? I am so confused, I wish he could talk

My DS was FF so I can't comment personally on the constipation but my sis has a son a month older than my DS and she EBF. When she started solids he became constipated. I think the food was just a shock to his system and after a few weeks he regulated and not is not having an issue.
As far as the sleeping my DS sleeps through the night but has random nights or a few nights in a row where he wakes up.
We just went through 2 nights where he woke up 4 times each night. I was hoping it was not a new thing but after the 2 nights he was back to sleeping all night. I think they just go through things.
