Teething is THE WORST THING EVERRRR. Let me give you a little perspective: C starting teething when he was 3 months. THREE MONTHS OLD, people. The drool, the gnawing, the fussing. All of it. At 3 months. He's now almost 12 months. We've been dealing with this awful awful process for NINE MONTHS non stop. He has 4 on top and 3 on bottom. Is newest is one on the bottom on the side of the two in the middle. So I've been waiting for the next one on the other side assuming this is the normal progression. DISCLAIMER: nothing about my child is "normal". So today I'm brave and decide to feel around in his mouth {I say brave because dude will chomp down on anything that enters his mouth. He don't discriminate. And those little puppy teeth are like daggers.} To my amazement, I feel two new teeth...ON THE TOP! What the what? They both came in at the same time. That poor, poor baby. No wonder he's been a royal nightmare. So now his teeth total...tooth total?...is up to 9.
I just want him to wake up tomorrow morning with ALL TEETH PRESENT. I don't even care if he wakes up at 5 a.m. ready to play. As long as all teeth are present I would be so so so so happy. What are some of your teething remedies? Sophie the giraffe? {aka an overpriced dog toy} Orajel? Pain killers? Do share.
Here's to just buying some baby dentures, yes?

The only mom I know whose kid didn't have a rough time teething (my sister in law) used the amber necklace. Yes, like the skateboard kid. She's been using it since my niece was a few months old and saw a dramatic reduction of fussiness. I have to say, my niece is one of the most content babies I've ever seen (she's 1 month older than Caden), though I'm sure that's a mixture of things. Couldn't hurt to try?
