My little monster is teething. She has her four front teeth! And those suckers are sharp. and now she is getting her molars in. I didn’t really see a different in her attitude with her first few teeth coming in, just A LOT of drool. The drooling has started up again, but now we have a fussy monkey and she shoves her hand in her mouth and pulls down. I hate that isn’t much I can do for her.
If she is having a hard time during the day I give her Hyland's Baby Teething Tablets and if it’s right before bed I give her Camilia drops. I’m not sure why I give her two different thing but it’s working so I’m not changing it.
Here are some tips that will help for your teething baby.

Here are some tips that will help for your teething baby.
Rub your baby's gums. Use a clean finger, or damp washcloth to massage your baby's gums. The pressure can ease your baby's discomfort.
· Offer a teething ring. Try one made of firm rubber. I don't feel comfortable using the liquid-filled ones, I fear they might break under the pressure of your baby's chewing. If a bottle seems to do the trick, put some water in it.
· Keep it cool. A cold washcloth or chilled teething ring can be soothing on a baby's gums. Don't give your baby a frozen teething ring.
· Try hard foods. If your baby is eating solid foods, you might offer something edible for gnawing — such as a peeled and chilled cucumber or carrot. Keep a close eye on your baby, a piece of food may cause choking hazard.
· Dry the drool. Excessive drooling is part of the teething process. To prevent skin irritation, keep a clean cloth handy to dry your baby's chin.
If all else fails, call your doctor for further advice.
