News from the Teething Front

Claire had a bad day yesterday. She wasn't feeling well all day and slept a lot. I took her to the Samford library on Thursday to visit with my former co-workers and Cheryl told me that teething tablets worked for her son. Since Claire was having such a hard day, I asked Tim to pick some up on his way home. When she started to get real fussy and uncomfortable, we gave them to her and it seemed to work. Thank you Cheryl! I had to give her some gel some time after that but, for the most part, she did very well for the rest of the evening so I think the combination worked very well. She woke up last night at 2:00 and 4:00 which she never does. I wish I had given her some tablets at 2:00 but I did not expect her to wake up again since she normally sleeps so well. I have felt a bump on her gums so I think a tooth is definitely trying to come out. I talked with a nurse yesterday at the pediatrician's office to make sure we are on the right track and doing everything we are supposed to do and we are. She also confirmed that Claire is a little early. She said that they don't normally see teething until around 6 months.
