I can't take it anymore!!
| Sat, 07-24-2004 - 3:16pm |
My daughter is 8 and a half months old, and it seems like she has been trying to cut her top teeth for the last month!! She already has her bottom 2, and I swear they came in no problem. The problem is that lately she is a complete crank box!! I have tried everything!! Teething rings, Mr. Freezies, tylenol, even frozen waffles, and she is still hurting and in pain!! What can I do?
Also, is it okay to let her cry herself to sleep during this time? She wakes up and is grouchy until I put her down for a nap. Even right now she is in the middle of crying herself to sleep, because I can't handle her crying and whining and throwing her temper tantrums anymore!! Please help me!! I feel like I am losing my mind, and my signifigant other is at work, and can't take over for even a 5 minute break!!

and yes, it's perfectly ok to let her cry herself to sleep if that's what needs to be done. she's going to be miserable no matter what, so try to take care of your sanity as well. try to remember 'this too shall pass..'
I am sorry to hear that she is so miserable...that is hard on EVERYONE. I think that it is a great idea to give her some benadryl and some tylenol--good sleep is a cure all!
Also, I wanted to say that crying herself to sleep isn't going to hurt a thing. It is often better, I think, than us moms getting so flustered and irked--they understand that a lot less than crying themselves to sleep.
Good luck,

I feel your pain.
My son has 6 teeth and he is 7 months old.
He has got them non stop and it really messes him up, then he gets back to normal and gets another tooth.
I think you are doing a great job to try and ease the pain. Some things just dont work.
Have you tried Orajel?
Good luck and I hope it comes through soon so she can get a break and so can you.
Thanks again!!
