Teething

Beau has the four front teeth up top and the four fronts on the bottom. The last few weeks he has been trying to cut his first molars! This has been a whole new ballgame. He did phenomonal with those first eight. But these molars are tough. They are obviously bigger and seem to be taking longer. Maybe they take longer because they are bigger. He has had a fever at one point and thrown up a couple of times. He is in pain more often than not and BITES EVERYTHING! The proof is in the photo below! I try and do what I can to help ease the pain. I am always open to other mommies opinions and so I would like to share some of the things I do for Beau when he is teething. First, there's always orajel and baby tylenol. I, personally, prefer to try several other remedies before I give Beau tylenol. I found this cool net thingy with a small handle that you can put frozen fruit in. I strip him down, put him in his high chair, and let him go at it. It's really great! This was recommended to me by the lady at 7-eleven. :) Next you can give him a big piece of jerky that he can chew on for a long time. This is my favorite....not messy and seems to be quite effective. Many thanks on this one to my sister Jamee! That's really all I have so far. If any of you have different ideas please share!


Like I said......BEAU BITES EVERYTHING!
