is Ben's first tooth!!! Shortly after I posted my laments about the horrors of cry it out I discovered the source of our problem. Ben was finally teething!! His first tooth broke through on Dec. 15th. It was such a relief to know that there was a reason for his crappy sleeping, but also a horror to realize I was about to get an education in sleepless nights with a hurting baby. This last week has been pretty horrific at night, but I know that he is waking up in pain, which makes it easier to take care of him. It does feel like I am starting over and going back to his one month sleep schedule. Poor little guy. Any secrets about teething from you expert moms?

Awwww, teething is just the worst! It seems like the first ones cause the most problems, so hopefully you'll (meaning YOU and Ben) get some relief soon! Cool teething toys and popsicles usually do the trick in our house. (and there's always Tylenol if you should feel inclined but some people don't like to medicate) But, he sure is cute when he cries. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI loved all the cute pictures of him in his little hat and gloves and of Santa and with presents. He's so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteThat makes total sense that he threw his sleeping schedule right out the window. Brynner did the same thing when he started teething. Not to get you down or anything but he's a year and we're still going through teething. Sometimes the only thing I can do for him is freeze a bunch of fruit like little pieces of banana, strawberry, and peaches and he'll suck on that which usually makes him feel better.
