Getting the first TOOTH!

Well Cal is starting to get his first tooth... its on his lower gums and you can start to see it (well if you can get him to not lick your hand when you try and see it) and he has been a little fussy the last couple days. At first we thought it was just because he was constipated but i finally stuck my finger in his mouth and well i felt it... so i dont really know what to do... he likes to chew on everything but i dont know if there is any other things i could do to relieve his pain... if any of you have any ideas let me know!
And can you let them cry at night when they are teething?


Weight Update... Lost a couple pounds last week so i am at 140.4... didnt get to my under 140 goal but i will get there soon! Thanks for all of your support!

freeze a washcloth and let him chew on it. i think they told us to do that in school...

you should get him some homeopathic teething drops or tablets. i got max some at both walmart and target and they really help him when he's teething! they're all natural too so that's a plus. that's pretty much all i do when max is teething and i haven't noticed him being too uncomfortable - he does wake up more at night but i just give him his binky to comfort him, or i rock him. good luck!!

Lots of love, frozen washcloths, rubbing your clean fingers on his gums. We also used those homeopathic teething tablets. They melt on the area as you rub it in. Ummmm, its also up to you and what you want to do in the night..... try sleeping or rocking a baby. Good luck. A.J. got his first set of teeth at 5 months. Hoy! It was fun. Just give lots of love and rub those gums. MUAH! Good luck! We love you guys!
