Whiskey. No, not for him. For you.

Maybe not whiskey, but I do have a little bit of yummy stuff hidden in
the fridge...

For a more practical suggestion, wet and wring out a washcloth. Put it in
the freezer. Give it to him to chew on once it's cold. It doesn't damage the
gums like frozen teethers (this was the current no-no when Spike and Giles
were teething. Don't know if it's still out of fashion). Even if it doesn't
help relieve teething distress, it gives him something interesting to play
with.

He ain't always interested in chewing on damp, cool cloth.

If you can, strap him to you in a baby holder. It's hard to sleep lying down
when your gums hurt, but cuddled upright next to mama will do the trick
sometimes.

He won't sleep in his carrier anymore, if he's tired enough he'll sleep in
his car seat, or eventually fall asleep in his cot for a 1/2 hour power nap!

Remember that it doesn't last forever. Wisdom teeth come in around 18, then
you're home free. Oh, and now you can blame every cranky baby episode on
teething. ;-P (((hugs)))

He's usually only cranky when hungry or over tired, otherwise he's very
happy!
