Teething
I know this is a topic that keeps getting recycled - but I clearly didn't pay enough attention the other times it came up!
My poor bug is getting 5 new teeth. When he got his first two teeth a couple of months ago, it didn't seem to bother him. Then nothing until now and . . . BAM - they're all coming at once. He's not sleeping too well and he's waking even earlier than usual - fussy and uncomfortable. Not like him at all. He usually wakes with a smile.
I've been giving him Tylenol but it seems only marginally helpful. Is Ibuprofen better? He also chews on his cold teethers, but again, it doesn't seem to help much. (And he doesn't like holding them in his hands either.) My guess is that nothing is going to make him truly comfortable, but if anyone has suggestions of things I haven't thought of, D and I would both appreciate it.
