Julia normally does fairly well with teething. She whines about them, but usually as long I keep her dosed up on Mortin, she is great! Well, not this time. Maybe it is because the molars hurt more coming through. But I really think it is because the Motrin is not strong enough. I am still giving her the Infant's Mortin, even though it only goes up to 22 pounds and Julia is almost 25 pounds. I just don't think it is strong enough to take away the pain. I used the last of it up this morning, so will buy the Children's Mortin when I go to the store for more today. Hopefully that will give her more relief.
She is just so whiney with these. She tries to stuff her whole hand in her mouth. I feel so bad for her. She wants held, but doesn't want held at the same time. She will be playing fine and then just start crying in pain. She is getting up in the middle of the night because of the pain. Nothing seems to make it all better.
Then yesterday I saw she playing with her right ear. I REALLY hope the teething has not caused another ear infection.
The one good thing about all the molars coming in at once is that all of this getting done in one shot and we will not have to go through this individually for each tooth. It should be done and over with a lot faster this way.
