Don't forget the diarrhea! Chloe is cutting her first tooth, has been for a couple weeks, and it is about ready to pop through. Knock on wood, but she hasn't really been too grumpy. The other kids were bears. I think the teething tablets are working wonders for her.

Poor baby Ellorie!!!!! I hope she gets to feeling better soon!

Oddly she doesn't get diarrhea. She becomes constipated...WTH?

She and her teeth don't get along. Ever since the first two bottom ones made their appearance, I've learned that it was going to be a long dental road. My older one was asymptomatic and teeth just appeared like magic. With Ellorie, I know a tooth is coming weeks in advance.

Poor love, she is uncomfortable.
As long as I keep her busy she seems to forget that it hurts, but if I lapse in entertaining or if Jaquelin isn't around, she suctions herself to my body and buries her head in my shoulder and cries.
It's rather pitiful.

Try the teething tablets...they have been a lifesaver. You can get them at most chain stores like Walgreens or Rite-Aid. All else, you may try chamomille tea, mix it in with a bottle and she should take it ok and it will calm her a bit.

I am SO lucky with James all he does is drool. A lot. I didn't know it was possible for a human to drool that much and not dehydrate!

My sister's little girl (She will be 3 in May) had a heck of a time teething. She was so clinging and grumpy! We felt bad for the little thing because there wasn't much anyone could do for her.

I'm sorry your little one is having such a hard time, if I see anything online about what to do to help, I will post it so it might help!

My daughter got all of her teeth in groups which could either be good or bad. One thing that always worked for me was using the Fresh Food Feeder by Munchkin. I would buy a bag of frozen mixed fruit and stick a few pieces in there and let her go to town. That or I would buy the frozen prezzles and let her chew on it. They both made a bit of a mess but it was better than seeing her in pain. The Humphreys teething tablets never really worked for us. They tasted just like little sugar pellets and all she wanted to do was eat them all. I do hope they cut through soon. Best of luck!

Thanks all for the well-wishing. It's just one of those things that we have o ride out.
And then do it again when the rest decide to make their appearance.

We've tried the teething tablets when she was getting her top four teeth in because I hated having to give Tylenol on a nightly basis and they did work a bit.

This time around, they don't seem to be doing a darn thing.

They don't work because she knows that you want them to work....thus, she gets to mess with your mind!! Trust me, that 's what all my kids do LOL

One day we will look back on this and laugh (from insanity)

My son started teething late and everything I read said "after they start, expect about one a month"... yeah right... we cut all 4 molars in a month! It was a miserable month, but it was over with quickly.

Give your sweet thing a hug for me. Have you tried moistening the corner of a washcloth and throwing it in the freezer? Since she likes chewing she may like chewing on something cold and the washcloth will absorb all the drool.
