Moms- 4 teeth at once! (and a question)
Lord help me.
Srsly, can you all pray for me? ?He's getting his 4 top (front) teeth all at the same time. ?This poor kid. ?I won't even talk about the drool.
Teething tabs, teething rings, Tylenol, Orajel- nothing is helping!!! ?He is so wakeful at night and just wants me to hold him.?
Moms- do you think it's bad if I don't let him CIO right now? ?With all the traveling and being away from home, I had decided to start it hardcore when we got home. ?But since we got home, he's been teething like crazy and I just feel like he's in pain and he needs me and I don't want to let him cry. (I let him fuss and whine, but he got hysterical, so I just went and got him.) ?Do you think it would be a major setback if I just waited a little longer? ?I think 4 teeth at once is a lot and he is clearly in pain and I think *that* is why he is crying at night....?
Re: Moms- 4 teeth at once! (and a question)
oh, and IIRC, tylenol won't help with teething. It's not an anti-inflammatory like Motrin is.
edited to add: have you dampened a few facecloths and twisted them up and put them in the bottom of the fridge? After they solidify a bit he may get some relief from chewing on those.
The other good thing is Motrin lasts longer, an added perk at night :-)
I also don't really do CIO if he is seriously teething or sick.
The frozen washcloth or ice in the mesh feeder is good. Owen also loves to chew/gum his toothbrush when he is teething. He has an extra one that I let him use for that purpose.
