Hi, I’ve been up since 3:15 am with a very unhappy teething baby running a hot fever. How are you today?
As I was drying Isaac off from his bath last night, I took a sec to check out his incoming tooth…. only to find that it appears as though his other bottom front tooth has decided to join the first! Aren’t they supposed to come one at a time? So my poor baby boy is enduring a double whammy with front teeth coming in two by two. Joy to us all.

Poor baby! And poor momma.....you know, teeth are strange. Sometimes they come in 2 at a time and cause serious discomfort. Sometimes, you don't even know one is coming until it shines pearly white in their mouth. Loosing teeth works the same way. This too shall pass.....in the meantime, we will pray for peace and comfort for you both. Love you! Amy
Our favorite teething friend ... Hylands Teething Tablets. Work like a charm. Buy them for cheap(er) at Target ... ask the Pharmacist. I gave Eli 4-5 last night. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!!!!
Oh ... and our kids have always gotten their teeth in multiples .. either 2's or 4's! Eli has been working on his 4 pointy teeth for 6 weeks now!!!!
Any better last night?
Rebecca's and Sarah's have come in two by two. Sarah just cut her 12th one.
I've used tylonol for them. If he's the same size as Sarah (she's 19lbs) then the dose is 1.5 droppers of the infant tylonol. Check with the doctor first for dose verification.
I've not tried the teething tablets, but I've heard good things about them.
The teething gel (natural one) didn't seem to help; and the gum numbing one always freaked Rebecca out when I put it on her. I wouldn't recommend either of those.
A sock with an ice cube inside and tied off with a knot is a quick chewy thing for him; or even a icy-cold, wet washcloth(I keep a cup of ice water nearby to cool it down again) is good to chew on.
