Teething time...

Once again, it's been teething time for us.  Tucker got his first tooth around 4 months old and has since cut a total of SIX teeth!  That's right, six teeth in 8 short months :(   The first four weren't so bad...a little fussy, but nothing too extreme.  These last two...woo, well these have been quite the ordeal!  They are the top two teeth on the right side.  His front large one and the next tooth beside it.

With all this teething, come lots of symptoms which include, but are not limited to (I just sounded like a warning for a pharmaceutical commercial haha)...Fussiness, congestion, nasal stuffiness, sleeplessness, restlessness, and gum sensitivity.  Those are the main ones we are dealing with over here!  Poor Tucker boy.  I quickly called for reinforcement...

First on the list...is Camilia.  

Camilia is a homeopathic medicine which contains some great all natural medicines that help to soothe painful gums and irritability.  It comes in single liquid doses that look like this...

You then just twist off the cap and squirt the whole amount into the baby's mouth.  You can repeat this every 15 minutes as needed.  Safe for children 1 month and older.

Second up...

Homeopathic teething tablets made by Hyland's Baby.  Dissolvable tablets that help to relieve restlessness and wakeful irritability due to teething and 100% natural.

I love both of these medicines.  First off, because they really work.  Tucker seems so much better after I have used them.  An added benefit to these, is that they are homeopathic/all natural...which makes me Very happy!  Whenever possible, I try to avoid true medicines as much as I can.  Of course, if needed I will bring out those.  With these teeth, I have had to add some Infant's Advil every now and then too.  

And lastly...

for all the stuffiness and for his runny nose.  I use the tried and true cool mist humidifier.  I swear by a good humidifier!  It truly can work wonders!

Plus, I add these vapo pads for babies that smell heavenly!  They make Tucker's room smell like Rosemary and Lavender and help him to not be so stuffy...love em'!

So...when the teething time gets rough, it's nice to have things that actually work and can make our sweet baby feel better.  I have been trying to get a picture of the teeth for all you readers, but it's been near impossible!  Tucker makes it pretty hard to snap a picture of his new pearly whites :)  Those new teeth have been very mean to him, but he's quickly getting back to his happy self!  Thankfully!
