This past weekend has been terrible for all of us due to the little man's teething. I think he has three molars and some eye teeth all coming in at once. We experienced almost constant crying from Michael this weekend, and I got all of two hours of sleep the past two nights...this worse than when either of my kids were infants. Michael has had pain with all his teeth, but this has been terrible. I never knew Jackson was getting teeth, they just appeared, so this is all new to me...after these things come in, will there be a break from the constant fuss? I don't think there's enough ibuprofen in the world for my child to make him stop crying about his teeth

Aww, Im sure you tried this but I read somewhere to freezse bm, formula or something else and put the frosen cube in those mesh nubby things and let them munch while teething. Dont know how well it works .
I've done this and cold, wet wash clothes. DD is getting her canines (all 4) right now, so I feel your pain.
I have the opposite problem with dd. She is putting EVERYTHING in her mouth. Nothing is off limit including crayons and other people's fingers. I guess chewing makes it feel better but I feel like I have a little baby in the house again.
I'm trying to think of what you could do for him. Frozen peas?
I'm sorry.
I remember giving Jude frozen mini-bagels to gnaw on. Won't help you at night though.
This may not be a popular train of thought, but whiskey? (A rub on the gums for him, a shot for you?!)
My three sons!
We're right there with you:( She's teething all four of her canines at the same time. We usually do tylenol and the hyland's teething tabs if she's really cranky.
