Canine Ease

Other than his first experience with teething, Alex has been a great teether. When it was first happening, it was horrible. He was only 4 and a half months old and there was very little I could do to help his pain. He wasn't able to hold a teether to his own mouth and I had to play a guessing game when I held it there and then took it away if I guessed it was too cold. All I had to help him was the Orajel.

Since those teeth broke about 5 weeks later, none of his subsequent teeth cutting have been as bad. So I never knew when it was time to break out the Orajel. He's getting canines now and the first one bugged him for only a day or two. Tylenol seemed to help enough. Now, it's just drool.
