We have oil in the tank
Checked the bleeder and oil runs out
Changed the air filters less than a month ago
Tired the reset button, would start up but won't kick over
Any advice?
Don't want to freeze

Call a furnace repairman. You already did the basic stuff you should check first. And you NEED the heat with a child that young.

Thank you smoothy. I will call around and see what they would charge me.
Hopefully not too much due to buying formula and diapers

If it was a 5 year old it might be different (you could just bundle them up)... but you did take all the steps I would have done... and I grew up in a house with oil heat.
Could be something as simple as a thermocouple or a clogged nozzle. But those are beyond what you can do. Best to save time at this point.
