HELP PLEASE! Apparently Jackson is about 3-4 months ahead of schedule on cutting teeth. He has a total of eight (four on top, four on bottom) and is trying to get his first molars on top. These are apparently the worst of them all. We've had a little trouble with his others, but the last week or so takes the cake. He's having a hard time falling asleep, staying asleep- wakes up screaming, not able to take a good nap, and overall just pretty miserable. All of this is very unusual behavior for him. I can see the gums all swollen and the white part about to pop through. We've tried Tylenol/Motrin, those little teething tablets and so far we haven't really had any relief. Just thought somebody out there might know of some old fashioned remedy passed down from a great great grandma or something! If not, if you have any extra Prozac laying around, feel free to send that to me! We've been up so much at night that it's reminiscent of the days of waking up to feed every 2 to 3 hours. Any response would be appreciated- if you're up at 2am and think of something, call me- I'm probably up too!!

I don't know how much it would help with Monster Molars, but gripewater always seemed to help my boys calm down and feel better when nothing else did. Plus, it's all herbal (fennel, ginger, stuff like that), so you don't have to worry that you're knocking him out with heavy meds. (Unless you want to, of course!) I know you can get it at either CVS or Walgreens. Baby's Bliss is the brand I used, but Little Remedies makes one now, too. Hang in there!
