Teeth = bad times

Poor babies.... what is it about teeth that just makes life miserable for the little 'un's. Anna is getting her 8th tooth. She is very unlucky in the fact that her teeth drop early and then just S L O W L Y break through... and I mean slow! She's pretty happy most of the time - but it disrupts her sleep which add gnarly cranky kid to my list of concerns.

teething tablets help, ibuprophen brings short term relief, cold foods in the baby safe feeder, and a lot of hard toys to chew on...

It's crazy how as soon as that tooth breaks the skin - everything changes. The 12 hour sleep returns, the big toothy grins and for a short while a reprieve from the drooling!
