I haven't had the pleasure yet... hope it's over quickly!
He's so adorable!

treehugger says,

Wench, did he start pulling at his ears right before the teeth came in?

Wench says,

Yes, and he had a very slight fever and got a diaper rash out of nowhere. These aren't his first teeth but he's getting four at once, poor guy.

. Poor everyone ... Crushed ice in a thin washcloth helps to soothe, even momentarily.

Molars are the toughest to come through....bear with him.

Believe says,

The days of frozen washcloths.

somewhere along the way a pediatrician told me that if an adult were to experience the same level of pain babies experience when teeth break through they would be given morphine...

Wench says,

It's just so awful, I feel terrible for him. He's being such a trooper but it's really bothering him.

Awww. A spoon stuck in the fridge for a while to get cold then let him chew on it worked well for my son. Or fill a bottle up with water then freeze it with the nipple down (so the water freezes in the nipple). Then he can gnaw on the frozen nipple. Good luck !
