There was an article in the morning newspaper
about a baby that was born with one tooth in and another one coming in. The grandma called her the vampire baby! If I remember back that far it seemed the kids liked those plastic frozen things to chew on. Taria melinda wrote: DS is most definetley teething, I can feel one!

i cant recall how old he is now.
he might need something cool to chew/suck on. how about an ice cube of natural applesauce wrapped in some baby muslin. just use a piece big enough to tie a good knot in the end so nothing falls out. he'll need a really good bib with it too. the applesauce is one of the first baby foods so should be ok to digest. otherwise, find one of those teething rings you can freeze for him to hang on to and gnaw on all day. something in that order anyhow. its been awhile since i went thru that. it can be a short procedure or a very long sleepless night type one. at least in summer the frozen stuff helps keep him cool too. good luck, jeanne -- http://community.webshots.com/user/nzlstar "melinda" wrote... | DS is most definetley teething, I can feel one! | But he will not sleep during the day and is very | unsettled, not crying just whingey - very whingey | | HELP! | | -- | Melinda | http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |

Whiskey. No, not for him. For you.
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. 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. 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))) -- Wendy http://griffinsflight.com/Quilting/quilt1.htm De-Fang email address to reply "melinda" wrote in message ...

A frozen bagel works well. Easy for baby to hold and when frozen no pieces
come loose. Hugs for your Josh! -- Sugar & Spice Quilts by Linda E http://community.webshots.com/user/frame242 |

i cant recall how old he is now. About 5 1/2 months, had 6 month check up yesterday - 9kg dressed 70cm long and he rolled over by himself this afternoon! he might need something cool to chew/suck on. how about an ice cube of natural applesauce wrapped in some baby muslin. just use a piece big enough to tie a good knot in the end so nothing falls out. He loves apple stuff, he's been getting solids since 4 months and much prefers rice cereal with apple to plain rice cereal. he'll need a really good bib with it too. the applesauce is one of the first baby foods so should be ok to digest. otherwise, find one of those teething rings you can freeze for him to hang on to and gnaw on all day. I've got a self feeding spoon (vame in set of three) for him that I can put in the fridge to chill for him... something in that order anyhow. its been awhile since i went thru that. it can be a short procedure or a very long sleepless night type one. at least in summer the frozen stuff helps keep him cool too. So far he's still sleeping at least 8 hours at night, just not much during the day, doesn't help with the weather being so hot and humid. good luck, Thanks, I think I'm gunna need it! -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |

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! -- Melinda http://cust.idl.com.au/athol |
