help help help please

Aretha, first take solice, that I am with you. My son is the same age, and just got four teeth on top (all pretty much at the same time) and is now getting some more bottom teeth (he already had 2). Here are some suggestions, try an ice cold carrot, they love to gnaw on it, just watch him like a hawk, as they can often bite into it. I like to put mine at the highchair with it, and I'll sit next to him flipping through a magazine, that way i'll hear him if he bites some off. Distraction, works well, if he loves baths, why not give him one.. even if it's the middle of the day, and you have nowhere to go. If it's nice outdoors, take him outside to let nature soothe him. cold, frozen washcloths. Med's (I'm sure you know all about those though). If you have any biter biskets on hand.. my son loves those. As far as sleeping, I find that my little one sleeps best on an incline while he is sleeping, so I put a couple pillows under the mattress, (just not too high, otherwise he'll just roll down it) (: It helps him sleep much deeper. Also, if it persists, watch for signs of an ear infection, as my oldest always got one while he was teething and had a cold.. all that fluid building up.. Hope I gave you some ideas.. Hang in there.. you know from expierence that it will get better soon.. hopefully (: My little guy only had about a week's break between these teething bouts.. He already has 6 teeth, and he's working on number 7 and 8 right now.. hopefully he'll give me a break after that! (:

Something sweet and cold usually worked wonders with my son who suffered terribly with every tooth. If you don't have ice pops in the house, then make your own with some apple juice. You can make them in regular ice cube trays and when they are frozen, pop them out and crush them up for him. He can suck on them and the frozen juice will help temporarily numb his gums and reduce the swelling a little. If you have any baby Ibuprofen or baby Tylenol that coupled with the frozen treats will at least temporarily relieve his discomfort.

I think having doctors advise in this difficult situation is better,please consult your doctor immediately it may help kids crying in pain.

I know this is too late to help, but if you get the chance, go to Walmart and ask the pharmasist about something for teething. It is a liquid that you put on the babies gums and it really helps. I used it for my 4 kids and it worked wonders.

Well, there's always baby paracetamol, i think you guys over there use Tylenol or something, try that, otherwise, i'm not really sure. I can understand though, when you cut 1 tooth, it's easier to handle than 3 at once. My daughter had her dummy/pacifier which helped her teething HEAPS - something soft to chew/suck on, i also make sure all the liquids she has when she's teething are warm coz that seemed to help her. The teething might not be making him sick either - i think maybe he could have a cold & that is upsetting him, the teething is just making it worse. I know some kids get fevers & stuff but i have never heard of a child actually getting sick so maybe he's caught something & the teething is making him more miserable. Good luck!

I have experienced the same thing with my youngest. Honestly, the only thing that made her calm down was vanilla ice cream! I know he might be too young, but it helps to sease the pain. I also would just turn on the music and carry her to sleep. I think that the music helps to soothe them while rocking them in your arms. I wish I could tell you something more, but that is all I have experienced. Good Luck:)

I don't know, because I never had children, but on the Roseanne show they used frozen waffles on one episode. They said that the little squares could even catch the siliva.

the very best for me was beef jerky. the salt helps and they love the taste.
