My baby has been in so much pain because his 2 year molars are coming in, so this sweet little product has become a good friend. He's still miserable, but it relieves him of some pain I can tell. Emily never had it this bad, but Jon just won't stop crying. He's been waking up every few hours in the middle of the night, and will not be comforted! His gums are swollen and red, and he keeps touching his face and says, "Oweee!" We've tried teething tablets, rotating the Ibuprofen and the Tylenol, and of course my other friend, Popsicles. That seems to comfort him for a few minutes or at least it distracts him from the pain.
It breaks my heart to see him in pain, but because he's so ornery, it's also making me ornery, too! He's is constantly whining and crying, and wants to be held every second. In fact, I'm holding him while I type this, because he won't let me put him down. Aggh! I wanted to go to my piano lessons and the library this morning, but I don't want to take him anywhere because he's so miserable. I just want to see my baby happy again. How long is this going to last?

Um sorry to say this but it will last until the teeth come in and even a little after as they continue to move through the gums. I think Sydney's lasted for about two-three weeks but it could have been longer! Sydney refused to eat for the longest time, it had me so worried all the time! I am so sorry that he is sick, keep doing what you are doing! Eventually those nasty teeth will come through and he will be back to his old happy self!
Oh no, my smiley little Jonathan is not feeling to happy. Sounds like you are being such a great mommy with all those little tricks and treats. Good luck and hope it doesn't last very long.
You're doing a great job. That's all they need, a little medicine, popsicles and love. When Ethan is getting molars I just have to hold him all day, it's frustrating but what else can you do? Yes, I'm also excited for the Pizza Hut dates we can have!
oh, you poor things! i think you should take me up on that second babysitting i still owe you and let me come give you a break!
That's so rough! It's so hard to have them be in pain, but like you said after a while everyone is onery. I hope they break through soon so he can feel better.
The Kangaroo Zoo looks fun, I had never heard it of before.
And also - I never thought of you as the "chubby redhead". I picture you in high school trim and cute like everyone else! But I'm glad you're feeling good about things now, and it definitely always FEELS better when you're living healthy. I'm in a bit of a funk right now and need to do better, myself. Maybe I should watch the Biggest Loser. (:
So sorry to hear Jonathan is so miserable. Ethan did pretty good with the whole teething thing. I may not be so lucky the next time. But I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and me! Good luck!
I would cry just to get popsicles.
