5. Baby Orajel


Harper got her first tooth yesterday! She's been teething on and off since she was 4 months old, so it's about time that tooth showed up. My friend Jeni felt a bump the other day, and when I looked there were two huge swollen bumps on her bottom gums. The next morning I felt the sharp point sticking out on the bottom left. 

Last night was a long night. Harper was pretty uncomfortable, so I was up quite a bit. I felt so bad for her. I would walk into her room to find her face down whimpering. So sad!! I've been using these teething swabs on her gums, which according to her tastes terrible, but it does a good numbing job. I've heard of teething tablets and haven't tried them yet, but I'm open to some suggestions if any moms out there have some good secrets in helping their little ones through this painful, yet necessary and exciting process. But so far these teething swabs have done a good job.
