Teething Bites

Cynthia is officially teething and it sucks! One moment she is miserable and the next she is happy! I don't know what I can do to make her feel better. One moment she will chew on her teething toys and the next she wont. I feel like I am playing a ball game at night time with no lights. It comes and goes in cycles. Thursday night she was up all night with Ben. She was just miserable. Nothing would make her feel better. Then she was fine the whole of Friday. When Saturday afternoon hit she was crying blue murder for no reason. Nothing we could do would make her feel better. So we gave her some Tylenol and she felt better when that kicked in. So if anyone has any home style remedies out there that they are willing to share to help relieve some toothache pain, please feel free to send them my way.

That stinks. Connor has been teething for the past couple months and a tooth is FINALLY starting to come through. He's gotten to the point where he's not breastfeeding very well anymore because his mouth hurts so much. Wish I could help you make your little girl feel better. Just give her Tylenol and some baby orajel. That's all I can think of. Good luck!

The orajel route usually helps but bring out the bibs - as you likely know the slobbers and drools are endless. That she is teething now is good news. Ben was late and his teeth were a mess so maybe she has better genes.
We would soak a whole clove in warm water the then rub it with our finger - then take the finger and rub his gum - it seemed to soother him ...
