do you have any tips on keeping my daughter happy during the teething stage. she seems so misrable and i noticed that she has 4 teeth coming in at the same time and they are all the back. i thought that those were the last ones to come in.

In our hot area, the wash cloths got too warm too fast. Thank goodness I found a mesh "feeder" that was perfect. It is kind of like a pacifier, in that it has a holding ring. A piece of fine mesh cloth "snaps" on. You could put frozen fruit in this, or as my daughter just loved it... ice cubes. There is no fear of them choking, only getting a little wet, but all of the drool from the teething would do that anyway, right?

with my 2 girls i used to freez a wet wash cloth (the baby cloths). i would also cuddle them in my arms and put irajel on my finger and rub there gums, it helped with the pain and helped them get some sleep.

my little guy likes to chew on washrags and his tooth brush. He also likes those gerber teething buscuits and the rod pretzels. He is presently cutting his molars. I feel for ya. Good luck and hang in there.
