This past week has been very interesting. Or adroable, very mild mannered baby has turned into someone completly different. Last week he woke up witha horriable cold everytime our little guy coughed you could tell he was in so much pain. Luckily, he was already going to the doctors for his 4 month check up so the doctor was able to look him over. The doctor said he would be fine and that he would just have to work through it because the doctor thought he was fine we proceeded with his shots. For the next two days he had a fever from shots and a really bad cold. After we bought a humidifier he started getting better.However, after three hours of crying and a bath, a walk outside, rocking and singing from mommy and daddy I decided to check his mouth for teeth and as soon as I started rubbing his gums he stopped crying. I felt so bad that it had taken us that long to figure out what was wrong!Lyndon is pretty young to be getting teeth but, I got my first tooth at his age so I guess he just takes after me. Needless to say this week has been difficult we have orajel and give him Tylenol at night if he is just beside himself and then he usually falls asleep but, we are all hoping his two teeth come in soon! At nights we just pace the floors with him ( Which we have never had to do)feeling so bad that there is nothing else we can do! Tyler keeps saying " I'm so sorry baby" It's really cute to see how much he cares for Lyndon. Hopefully, our baby will feel better soon! Wish us good luck!

I totally remember this! Hopefully he will get more than one tooth at once next time. I loved when Micah would get 2 or 3 at once. It just helped with this awful child my kid turned into.
Lindsay,
You may want to try Hyland's teething tablets-it's over the counter homeopathic remedy. Available in Walmart or Target in the pharmacy baby section or in the regular baby section. It works for some and not for some, but it really helped our little Abbi. I worried about constantly drugging her with tylenol/motrin (when she was old enough) and those really helped. You can also use them with tylenol/orajel. Good Luck!
