Cranky mess -teething+cold
The boy and I have gone about 10 rounds today, and he is kicking my mommy butt.
He is cutting his first tooth, and has a cold on top of it... He's been waking up every couple hours during the night, so he's just been a mess all day (so am I!).
And he doesn't really want to eat very much, which I am sure is just making him feel that much better, :(
We've tried tylenol, teething tablets, cold teething rings. His matress is elevated cause of his cold....
Am I missing anything?!?! HELP!

ditto! And suction his nose too!
For teething you can give him a frozen washcloth. I read that online somewhere and it has really helped my DS.

Kristina always gets cold symptoms when she cuts teeth.... I use the Vicks plug ins in her room at night, and have the humidifier running too.... It helps her a lot!

Re: Cranky mess -teething+cold
I've had a weekend full of teething, cold and a ear infection. I did all the stuff above and when all else failed....I let DS sleep in our bed. I am so against this but when DS woke up every 1 1/2 I gave up.

be careful with the orajel.... not a totally safe aide.
