Teething!!!

Oh my gosh! Chase is teething so bad! Yesterday was the 5th day of me giving him tylenol. I HATE giving him tylenol! He has had tylenol once before in his life. I called the advice nurse at our pediatrician's office and they had me bring him in to make sure there was nothing else wrong with him. Nope, just teething.

The dr suggested giving him ibuprofen. I know ibuprofen should be taken with food and/or milk in the stomach. I nursed Chase at midnight and he was in too much pain to sleep so I gave him ibuprofen at 1 am. At 3 am he threw up! I felt so bad for him!

I had already decided after 5 days of tylenol that I would look into amber bracelets. Ashley's daughter has worn an amber necklace since 3 months and has gotten 5 teeth with no problem. She got her necklace from Inspired by Finn. I was going to get a bracelet from them for Chase and saw that they offer a 15% off discount if I blog that I'm going to try their product. Score!

I will definitely let you all know how it goes!

  1. Ack! I have read 2 blog posts this week about teething and my niece cut a tooth over the weekend. I am so not looking forward to it. Please let us know how the bracelet works, I would love to find something non-medicated for Max!

  7. Hi Meg! I wanted to reach out to you; I'm going to be starting a new feature on my blog with lots of tips and advice from other Mom's. Please LMK if you'd be interested in sharing any ideas on the topics I have going. Shoot me an email if so and I'll send you some possible topics. Doesn't have to be anything super formal; even a bulleted list is fine. LMK! :)
