Teething Pains...

So Jehan has started teething. I dreaded this stage, but nevertheless it is here. She doesn't cry, just whines and sorta grunts out of discomfort. She rubs her nose with her fists as though she's tired, sorta kinda. I am always scared to give any kind of medication, so I communicate with some of my more experienced "mommy-friends" and I get great recommendations. Thanx to Sister Katey here in Pittsburgh. She told me about Hyland's Teething Tablets. It is a homeopathic alternative to the chemical products on the market. It works like wonders! I put two tiny little tabs under her tongue and hold it there until they dissolve (about 3seconds) and within 10 minutes she is a calm, chill, pleasant baby again. Then she usually rest really well and wake up in a pleasant mood, too. I still don't want to give her too many of these. Right now I am only giving her 4 a day (2 doses). I called the company and they said I can give her up to 6 doses. I am still cautious... i am going to do some more research on the product to make sure it aint crack. ;) (She's a lil too happy!)
