The teething baby…

A teething baby makes for a miserable baby and therefore an exhausted mom!

Ian is teething! As he was an early teeter, we have been through a few rounds of teeth coming in, but this time it is one of his molars…early I know.

The last 2 weeks he has been truly miserable on and off with luckily some normal time. He’s had several teething fevers, one of which was high enough that we took him to the pediatrician just in case it was actually an infection. But no, teething!

It’s difficult seeing him so miserable. We’ve given him Tylenol several times, and of course he hates it. Our baby is very creative when it comes to fighting medicine. Since I like Advil better than Tylenol, we tried to give him that. Apparently it tasted so much worse than the Tylenol that Ian threw it up all over me. Poor baby!

I hope this tooth comes in soon for his sake, but also so I can get some more sleep and my happy baby back! But of course there will be more molars to come…
