TEETHING!!!!

The teething monster has taken my baby!!! She started a few months ago trying to put her mouth on everything, since I hadn't seen a tooth I figured that is must be a random part of her development. The more I kept reading the more I realized it was early signs of teething. So, I ran out and got every teether Babies R' Us had on the market; small ring, large rings, Razz Pacifiers, Toys with teether ends as paws, etc. You name I had it. Nothing worked, all she wanted to do was suck on her favorite blanket, and so it was. The only issue that I developed was when we were out and about we didn't have the blanket, so I found an alternate. The Gerber Flower Security Blanket. This little thing was amazing. She could hold on it an suck on it easily, problem solved. My LO has never been a paci type of child. She was never a fan of hard objects in her mouth. This was a perfect solution. 

Now, that I have the issue of travel under control now there was the issue of her going to sleep. She would cry her eyes out and all while running a low grade fever. I found that Tylenol would help sometimes but the pain was often too much. One night at 8 pm I ran out to Babies R' Us and searched for Baby Orajel. I realized they had a two pack; Day and Night. I gave her the night time and it was a miracle. It worked almost automatically. God only knows what's in it and trust I will be able to tell you soon, because as I do with everything I will be researching. But, if your child is having terrible teething pain, try the night time version of Orajel.
