Ahh!!! I hate teething!

Addie's molar on the bottom right has been trying to come through for quite a while now. But as of Saturday night her little gums right there are swollen so bad and are realllllly hurting her. As long as she has tylenol or motrin in her she is her normal self, playing, being silly, and at the moment is set on feeding me every last cheerio I put on her tray, but when it wears off oh do I have a feverish, sad little girl. You can see the four corners trying to come through, they are just barely under the gum, so I have been giving her tons of stuff to chew on. Her doctor told me not to give her teething tablets or orajel, so do you have any suggestions? Addie doesn't like frozen wash cloths because her hands get too cold and she doesn't like the texture when she chews on it.

Frozen fruit like grapes or bananas. Even popsicles. I do sugarless ones. Poor girl. The little boy I watch is teething too. It sucks!

Poor baby, I am so sorry :-(
Marky has had some bad nights with teething as well. I know it is tiring on mommy and daddy as well. But your little girl is so darn cute. She brightens the room with her smile. I can't help but smile every time I see her. You are doing a terrific job Beth!
