YW!!! Poor Baby. I lucked out with Zak and he didnt teeth till he was 11 months old and then he got them all in 4 months but my baby sister teethed early. I cant imagine how horrible it is for them. Poor things. She is soooo cute!!!

Mine started teething a week ago. She's 3 1/2 months old. Have you tried Camilia for teething pain? I found that it works as good as Tylenol but it's homeopathic. I also used the Hylands (also more natural) brand teething gel for right before meals. She would eat a full serving if I did that. Otherwise, she barely ate a thing.

Ella doesn't have the co-ordination to put things into her mouth to chew on yet, so I spend my day either holding teething toys in her mouth, or she's chewing on my finger.

but as soon as the sucky falls out of her mouth she screams.. :(
she doesnt seem to like mushy food yet either.. :(

I haven't even bothered with food yet. We're working on sleeping. She's sleeping from about 7:30 or 8:00 to around 4 in the morning. Except when she started teething, then she was up at 1:00 for extra food because she wasn't eating very well while teething. I guess teething comes and goes, from what I've heard. Right now, she's taking a break from teething, but who knows how long that will last.

Being a mom is hard but You know what is best for your baby. When my niece was teething she was about 4 months and she was given unopened freezees to chew on. cold ont he teeth and when they have a couple teeth it is hilarious to see the look on their face when they get a tiny rip in it. My mom gave us a frozen washcloth(soak it in water and freeze it) to chew on. Good luck!!!!

im lucky then.. Karma goes to sleep anywhere between 8:30 and 10pm and usually sleeps until about 8 am.. with a few wake ups in between of course for more bottles. but other than than i get a fair amount of sleep. :) at night the teething doesnt seem to bother her much. its the day that i dread!! lol

Lately, Ella has been going right back to sleep after her 4:00am bottle! Let's hope it keeps up. There is no way that I could keep her up until 10:00! She goes ballistic if I don't put her in bed by 7:30. That kind of sucks for us because we can't go anywhere at night anymore.

How do you like living in Dawson? We're going up there for holidays in June for a week, and we may be up there this Feb. as well.

its ok.. was alot more bearable when my hubby was around. :(

Karma actually goes to sleep in her swing around 7:30 as well.. but she wakes up around 9 ish.. so i put her to bed around 10 pm
(mean mommy forces her to sleep :) )

Yeah, I grew up in Pouce Coupe and we moved to Dawson when I was 17. I lived there til I was 22, then moved to Vernon! My parents are still there. They own the bowling alley.
How many naps does Karma take in a day? I get Ella to take 3 still.

andrea said...

she actually takes about 8-10 naps a day.. (about 15-20 mins each)
she wont sleep for very long during the day for some reason..
