Teething Sucks, and Bites!

Teething is a canine. Leon woke up screaming in pain again. He has been sleeping thru the entire night for a month. But the last two (or was it three nights) he has woken up crying from pain. He has a new tooth coming in. The poor thing is chewing on everything in sight (including me!). Tonight I gave him some baby Mortin. I know. Jeff and I are both "anti-med" people. We definitely don't take pain relievers and don't want to over medicate Leon. I got the idea from some mommy friends. He is sleeping now. If 3/4 teaspoon of Mortin keeps him from waking up in pain again, then maybe it was worth it.

    Hey, have you heard about those amber teething necklaces? Many people sware by them. Lots of kids here use them. It's a non-medicated way to help with the pain. What is Mortin anyway?

    I'll look for that necklace. It's the kind the mom wears and lets the baby bite on, right? That concept is a little weird. But I guess it's worth trying. thanks!

    No. It's the kind made for the baby and he wears it around his neck. There is a lady who sells them here. Do you want me to get you one?
