Teething is a parents worst nightmare, there is really no other way to describe it and I am sure I’m not the only one who feels that way.
I got an early start to the teething game and it sure has been a long journey I feel like. Easton is one now and he started teething when he was 4 months old. That was bad enough but he always gets his teeth in twos which is defiantly double trouble!
How to tell your baby is teething? Oh trust me, you will know.
They are fussy which I know is like an everyday thing anyway but times their regular fussiness by 100.
They chew everything in sight, including biting on you. Just the other day my son bit my toe.
Their poor little gums get swollen and sometimes they even have a low grade fever.
The crankiness alone will tell you, you now have a teething baby on your hands but those are some other things to look for as well.
**Disclaimer: I am no doctor, these are just what I have noticed In my baby and what has helped us during the teething stage so far.**
I am in no means an expert on teething, but I have found some items that really helped my son. You can give tylenol obviously if nothing else is working and you can tell they are in a lot of pain but I try to use natural remedies before resorting to pain medication.

Other Remedies I have Used
A cold wash cloth for my son to suck and chew on really helps, I will also rub his gums gently with it as well.
I will feed him a cold bottle. The sucking sensation really helps and so does the coldness.
Also frozen fruit popsicles as well. They are yummy but also feel good on his gums.
Teething is tough, it makes you want to cry right along with your little one and you might just have your occasional glass of wine at night, a little more frequently.
But it doesn’t last forever and your cranky little babes just need some extra loving when they have a new tooth popping through.
We have to take the good with the bad during this parenting journey.
I hope some of these options has helped you out, and please if you have anymore great remedies make sure you leave them down in the comments.
