The Adventures of the Twin Princesses

According to the girls' doctors they both have been showing signs of teething since they were 2 months old. Their gums have been rock hard for months. Ms. Olivia is all "I got this. Bring it on teeth." However, my baby girl Juliana has not been handling it very well. It breaks a mother's heart to see their child in so much pain. Over the last week Juls has been in absolute agony. Besides leaving a trail of drool and tears all over the house, she is nawing on everything she can get her tiny little hands on. Her hands, blanket, toys, my hands, my shirt, everything is going in her mouth. Teething rings help only for a few minutes. I've been giving her cold things and orajel once in a while. Nothing seems to help so far. It comes in waves. One minute she's completely elated the next minute "end of the world." Once that bottom lip comes out and starts to quiver, I know we are on the verge of a major World War III melt down.

 

As we play the waiting game, we try our best to soothe her. Lately all she has wanted is for her daddy to hold her and walk her around until she calms down (its very sweet). Hopefully some mommies out there can give me some suggestions (all are welcome) because it hasn't been a picnic in the Mueller household. Until then, all I can say is bring on the chompers, I'm waiting as patient as I can.

A client of mine that had her baby a few months before me recommended filling the mesh food teether with ice chips, messey but Hank seemed to like it.
