LO is cutting her second bottom front tooth. Everyone says these are the easy ones. But she was up at 3am and wouldn't go back to sleep. I usually leave for work at 5....and I was late b/c I was soothing a sad baby.
I am thinking it's teeth b/c I was trying to nurse her and all of a sudden she pulled off and screamed, like she'd bitten her tongue. Obviously she didn't bite her tongue....but that was the reaction.
But I don't really know! So what were some symptoms that your LOs had when they were teething?
Re: Your LO's teething symptoms
My kid does not taking teething well at all.
She's normally a good baby but we pay for it here.
Runny nose, general all day whining if not all out screaming. Chewing on her hands, chewing on me, chewing on anything in sight. Won't nap, wants to be held to sleep at bedtime. Wakes up a lot. Her gums also get really red/white and swollen.
I keep teething rings in the freezer and they save my life. She will just lay on the floor and chew for like a 1/2 hour.
Motrin/Tylenol works the best for us as well. I swore I would never be one to drug my kid unless necessary, but I do it a lot during teething. It makes me sad to listen to her scream and what else am I supposed to do? That stuff works.
I put it on his ankle and roll his sock over top. The only time we take it off is bath time. He's never touched it and could care less that it's on there.
