Teething Bites


 Our little peanut is teething.  She's been terribly slow with getting teeth.  At 13.5 months, she's just working on her top front 2.  But it is misery- for everyone!  Cranky all day, having a terrible time falling asleep, doesn't want to eat, cries if I put her down.  I don't even want to say, "I can't wait until they come through." because I know that she has a lot more teeth to go! 

Here are my current strategies for helping her feel better-
  • cold cucumber slices
  • smoothies
  • pacifier
  • carrying her around everywhere
  • ibuprofen when I'm about to lose my mind
  • pass her off to daddy and runaway and hide when I've officially lost it
My brother-in-law works in dental supply sales and he gave us some oral gel swaps which I'm going to be trying tomorrow.  (though I tried these with Jane and remember thinking they didn't help much)

I also had used the Hyland Teething Tablets with Jane.  But since then I know they have been "voluntarily recalled". Actually, one of the moms from my moms' group knew the family of the child who almost died from them.  Soooo, I don't really feel too good about giving them to Molly. 

Any other tricks?  If we don't make a break through tomorrow, I might go CRAZY!!

  1. Hey! I didn't see your email..so I'm answering you here! Yes I've used Bare Minerals before and it's great! It doesn't really work as a good primer--I would suggest getting a good primer. Eye & face! :) Let me know if you need anything else cute girl!
