I don’t think Lilly shares mine and Marni’s excitement for her teeth. She has always woken up 2 or more times throughout the night, but she would usually just make a little noise to let us know she was awake, and would only get loud if we didn’t get her soon. But now when she wakes up she almost instantly screams, and is harder to comfort. I obviously don’t know for sure, but I think it is because her teeth are hurting so much. I figure between the one that has broke through, and the others that are trying, her mouth is probably hurting quite a bit. About the only thing that comforts her now is eating. I don’t think she is hungry, I think it is just comforting to snuggle up to her mom and eat. I feel sorry for both of them. Lilly for the teething, and Marni for constantly having to wake up and feed her. I wish I could help.

Have you tried medicating her? I have a friend whose husband is a pediatric dentist and recommends baby motrin for teething, to help with the pain and swelling.
Dad apparently has some sort of holistic healing medicine for teething too. He said he'd send some for Bentley but I haven't gotten it yet and if I did I'm not sure I'd dare give it to him!
Bentley I think has been teething for MONTHS but NO teeth have come through yet. I think because he won't chew on toys or teethers so I don't think he's helping them push through. Poor guy. We'll all be happier once all those teeth are in!
