"My baby is teething."
Say these words to anyone who has any experience with little ones and you are sure to hear words of sympathy. Just about everyone knows that the teething stage is such a hard one for our babies. It's so difficult to see them suffer. Both of our kiddos are normally very laid back and happy, but when those teeth are coming through, they turn into completely different children! They will cry for no reason at all, are very clingy and need Mommy and Daddy to hold them constantly, wake up screaming at night, and can't take their naps because their teeth are making them so uncomfortable! It's not a fun stage for anyone at our house when teeth are coming through.
Teething is something that can vary so much from child to child. Some babies are born with teeth, some get them very early, most start getting them between 3 and 9 months, and some don't get their teeth until later. With our babies, the first teeth pop through at about 9 months and then we see nothing for about another 6 months. Then it seems that ALL of their teeth start coming through at the same time to make up for lost time.
Needless to say, during those hard days, we love our Infant Tylenol, Infant Ibuprofen, and Orajel. I don't know how we would survive without them! The small amount of relief they give is such a help! That being said, I'm really loving that Orajel is offering a $1 off coupon on their products!
