Harper is teething. The two lower teeth broke through the gums without too terrible of a time. One of her top teeth is working it's way in and life is terrible! She's not sleeping, not napping, and wants to nurse 24/7. When she does nurse, she bites as she is latching on. Ugh.
On top of all of this she is [sarcasm] such a joy to be around. [/sarcasm]
I have tried Tylenol, hyland's, frozen teethers... I am out of ideas. Do any of you have some ideas to spare? |

Yikes, you poor thing! I can't help you out very much because I hardly knew when Alana was teething. It was really strange. Ok, stop glaring at me. Haha.
All I know is Tylenol doesn't phase some kids. What else is out there, Ibuprofen and maybe something else? You might want to check into some stronger stuff.
Hang in there! Hope she feels better soon. |

I agree with Sarah. Try Motrin. The Tylenol didn't touch Ezra's fever, but the Motrin brought it right down. The pedi said it works better for babies on fever and pain. It's an anti-inflammatory, so that makes sense.
Hope you have a better night!! |

| I don't have any experience first hand with teething yet, but one thing I read was to try offering wet washcloths that have been in the freezer but aren't frozen. The cold and the softness of the wash cloth helps some babies. Good luck! |

That biting thing gets to be a REAL pain. The first time Alana did it so hard that it broke the skin and hurt for a week. They just have no comprehension that it's skin and it causes pain. :-) OH, one thing I wished I would have known sooner. When she's starting to bite, instead of and pulling away, push her face into your boob, and it automatically makes them let go. I read that somewhere.
Anyway, after she started knowing what she was doing, I flicked her on the cheek a few times and said "NO NO!!" It just kinda scared her. Didn't really hurt. And then she never did it again. Good luck! |
