Hi Jennifer! So happy to have you here in the Lazy Lounge! I have heard of babies getting their teeth as early as three months. It is very possible that is what is happening.

You could try giving him a dose of tylenol to see if that calms him. Or even put some oragel on his gums to see if that helps. It sounds like you need to go through a process of elimination here and trying those things could help you do that. As always, check with your Doctor as I never been to medical school!

I would love to see a picture of your little guy. I'll be back with some instructions later on. I need to play with this a bit to figure it out!

We look forward to getting to know you! Any other tips for Jennifer out there?

Woohoo! It worked! Photobucket is the trick! lol

Jennifer

Sure!

Okay so, you go to http://www.photobucket.com You have to register and sign-in. Once you do that, you go to Upload Photos….Then upload whatever photos you want….After it's upload, move your mouse over the photo and 4 different links will pop up underneith the picture, click on the second one(It automatically copies it for you)….Then come here and click on the “Insert Image” picture, the one with the tree….It says “Image Url” so paste the thing that you copied in that space and click “Insert” And Wal-A! You're done!

It sounds harder than it really is, once you get registered, then you're all set to go, just upload pictures, copy the link, post it in the insert image thing on here!

Hope this helps, if you get confused, let me know, I'll go thru the steps a little better…

Thank you! He's our pride and joy..Our first, and hope to have atleast 1 or 2 more!!

I aboslutely love the stage he's at now, I wish he'd stay this age forever…But I wish he'd get over the teething thing…I tried putting his little teething toys in the frig to get cold, which seems to help, but of course I have to sit there and hold it in his mouth, he seem to like gumming it, but when it's not cold anymore, he don't want it. lol

He's so alert and such a joy! Yesterday evening I was at the gas station and when I walked in to pay, 2 different people stopped me, one lady said “Oh my, he's so tiny, he can't be more than a month old!” I said “Nope, he's 3 months!” Then this man was standing behind me while checking out and he said “Oh my, he's so alert, how old is he?” When I told him, he said “No way! He's more alert then my 9 month old!”

His doctor says the same thing, the day he was born, in the hospital, he could hold his own head up for a little bit, of course he'd get tired, then let it flop so you'd have to be careful, but the nurse said “He's holding his head up better than most 2 month olds!” He loves to stand up, sometimes if he's still in your lap, he'll start whining, so you stand him up on his feet and he'll start giggling and smiling! He's strong enough to stand up straight, but of course he's a little wobbley, when he's standing, I lean him up against my legs while I'm standing, and hold onto his hands, he'll stand there for about a minute before his litte legs collapse. Everyone says “Don't do that, it'll make him bow-legged” Well he wants to! And I haven't learned how to be stern and say “No” yet, he's just to darn cute and I don't like seeing his bottom lip stick out and start to cry.

Hello girls,

I personally with my child have used those tething tablets and think they work wonders. I have reffered them to many others who love them just as much as I do. Tylonal helps but those homeopathic teethign tablets are great. There are a few different brands but I think they all work the same, some are flavored. I would give them a try. It's natural and it helps a lot and it's impossible to overdose. Let me know if you try it./

Kadensmommy, so glad the teething tablets worked.  And yes, the side effect of sleep is a GREAT one.  Thanks for the detailed instructions on photobucket, but I must tell you that overwhelmed me!  I'm learning my way thru this website stuff!!!  I hope I can figure it out.
