still no good

Comment Published at 04:4004:4014 comments14 comments18 Visits18 VisitsReport

well still no sleep and no relief for Myah with her teething. Brendan came home from work tonight and helped me force her to look in her mouth to see what was going on. Sounds cruel i know but i had to know for sure that it was her teeth and nothing else that was causing all her discomfort. She has the redest gums,swollen,and seems to look like 4 different teeth just under the surface ready to break through. They say this is the worst time when they are cutting through, not when they have cut through, right???? I couldnt imagine her going through worse teething than this. She isnt eating, not wanting a cuddle then wanting a  cuddle, not wanting to sleep but is so tired she needs to sleep, not wanting her cot but wanting my bed, then getting into my bed and then wanting her cot  ARGHHHHHH..........im sure you get the point now. I guess im showing that im not handling her going through all this needless to say me going through it with her. Brendan was suppose to have 4 days off from tomorrow but has just informed me he has to go into work in the morning pretty early for most of the morning.,pretty sucky huh...  Was looking forward to just having a break from all the crying and seeing her so unsettled. Well the good thing is she has fallen asleep after nearly 2 hrs of going into her trying to settle her........Im hoping these rotten teeth will be through within a day or 2 to give her some peace and to bring her back to being the happiest baby ever......my poor little baby girl

Tomorrow is another day and it will be a brighter day!!!! Im sure of it...........cant beleive i am going on about teething!! so many other people have so much worse happening....i feel so selfish but its just lack of sleep and not seeing her smile that has got me so down and out...i'll be better tomorrow......

love na....xxxxx

Re: still no good

I used to give them ice blocks. The cold would help to numb the gums. Really hope her teeth hurry up and come thru! Try to rest whenever ya can.

hugs,

Oh poor little thing. At times like this bonjella and panadol are your friend. Oh and I would wet a facewasher and put it in the freezer and let my boy suck/bite it. Worked a charm because it is a lot softer than teething rings which he didn't seem to like.

Re: still no good

hey, i have tried bonjella and the panadol, the panadol worked for a little while but not in the last 2 days,bonjella  didnt work at all. I did get this stuff called sm 33 like bonjella but stronger but i cant even get her to open her mouth for me to see if that would help....i have tried the face washer and even spoons in the freezer as someone else suggested....no go...thank u so much for the suggestions tho,i am willing to give anything a go!!!

luv na xxxx

Re: still no good

Oh Na, if she is in that much pain maybe a trip to the doctor. It might be tonsilitis or something else. Teething pain is normal but when panadol and bonjella don't work and cold relief doesn't work it might be something else as well as teething.

Re: still no good

I've been wondering how you were going... poor little tacker and really poor you. I've got my fingers tightly crossed that those blessed teeth break through the gums and ease her pain (and yours too). Wish there was more I could say or do... Thinking of the both you and fingers are now crossed!!!!!

much love,

fi xoxoxo

Re: still no good

The poor little thing.........teething is horrible!!!! Just before they cut through is definately when it hurts the most, once the gum is cut it doesn't hurt. I hope she settles soon.

Re: still no good

yer it is a tough time, out of the 4 kids i havent had any of them suffer like this. I've tried some of the things suggested  but maybe not all. I need to read some more of it......I did give her  baby Nurofen tonight as suggested and i think that has helped her settle for a sleep. Other natural products,panadol ect hasnt worked.....thanks for ur wishes

luv na xx
