she wears the amber all day and then you take it off at night?
Is it raw? light colored?
Hmmm...the healing powers should last at night if she wears all day...My SIL let her son wear his to bed too...Its happened here, I wont lie...not all the time, but a few times.

Awww....poor baby. I hope the medicines soothe her just a bit. Will email you some things we do here in India. They help. Take care.

Yikes.

Teething is the worst. I should know. We've pretty much been dealing with it nonstop since August. Just when I think we are done another one is right behind it! I just want my normal child back!

I am SO not ready for this stuff!

Sorry you are in that teething stage. The worst part is it lasts on and off for awhile and you're never quite sure is it teething, is it a cold, it is something else, why is my happy baby so cranky?

This is so funny! And TRUE! I felt the same way about teething, and then Allie Claire went through potty training...God bless. I thought I might go crazy ;)

Oh jeez... teething! No fun at all!! We used the hyland's tabs and cold washrags mostly. Luckily she didn't even start teething until she was closer to a year old, so I think that worked to our benefit, but it was still no picnic at all! I hope it gets better fast!

I think we are right behind you...:-) I have S Tylenol because she was whimpering is such pain and she projectile vomited all.over. So that was fun. Ha.

Oh poor Ella and momma! I hope it comes through fast and you get a good nights sleep again soon!

Oy, teething just sounds so miserable for everyone! I was just recently thinking about how horrific it is--the idea of bits of bone breaking through your sensitive gums. Uuuuugggggh! I hope Ella feels better soon.

Holy shit. I better brace myself...

Glad the amber's working for you! (And I'm guessing Hyland's? I need to try those.) We're currently living on tylenol and my woven wrap (on which she chews and moans, making this actual "on-nom-nom!!" sound that's hilarious and pitiful). You'll get your sweet girl back soon (hopefully), but in case no one else has warned you, teeth usually come in groups. As in, she might break one through, be normal for a day, then immediately begin working on another one (or two at the same time, Heaven help). However, the (slightly) good news is that for a lot of kids, each tooth gets just the tiniest bit easier on them.

Until molars, of course. Oh molars. Little Lady...I might have sold to the gypsies when she was getting her molars. Oof. It was surr-ous. My bestie's little boy took over 7 months of the teething behavior to actually erupt his first molar. Little Man has just finally - finally - finished all his canines, but we should be expecting 2-year molars soon. {whimper}

That's the other heads up that I wasn't prepared for, and you might be, but just in case: "teething" does not mean that teeth are actually imminent. "Teething" might occur for a month, and then disappear, with nary a pearly white to show for all the screaming and drool-stained clothes and sleeplessness. Only to return with a vengeance a few weeks later, making its first appearance look like a stroll in the park.

I'm not trying to be negative. Just...heads up. And hugs. :)
