No such easy way out!
Seriously, Anbesol and cold teething rings ... and my sympathy.

She wants nothing to do with the teething rings, cold or otherwise. She wants only to nurse, so I fear it's going to be a loooong couple of days for me...

Teething pains can be cured by taking the infant on a long distance airplane flight.
At least, a lot of parents seem to think that.

Orajel all the way. It's still good even when it's their six-year molars coming in.

Give Beans some rusks to chew on. Not only might they help with the pain, but also something new is sometimes just the right distraction.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. She hasn't had any solids yet so teething biscuits are out for now. She's slept through most of the night, tonight, so we'll see how much of this craziness is teething and how much of it was due to her not napping yesterday.

My SiL swore by Anbesol when the kids were teething.

Female advice: to do with baby.
Male advice: focused on your nipples.  Zengum advice: sarcastic and unhelpful. and the beat goes on... ETA: don't worry too much. Nipples grow back. So I've heard.

 "Please... won't someone think of the boobies?" Good lookin' out, V and Jim. Thanks. (Whose kid was it that invented the term dowas?) |

I noticed that. Although I will say that protecting against cracked nipples is a VERY good idea. That's a pain that'll make you jump right out of your rocking chair.  (When the baby latches onto a cracked nipple, I mean.)

to answer your question, the inch is credited with the first mention of dowas here, though he certainly learned it, not invented it. I find this citation the most memorable (text) expression here.
point of order. Zen's wrong, they don't grow back, but you *can* make another baby, so we're focusing on defending the points facing the greatest threat. I can't help it if by coincidence they're nipple-shaped.

Well, I recall getting that information from a woman whose nipple had been bitten clean off by a teething baby, and she said hers had grown back.
I didn't check, though which was careless of me. I suppose I should have demanded to inspect the scene. For epistemological purposes.

Zen, I think that would've been a great chance to pull "pics or it didn't happen."
For those concerned, my nipples are doing well. They are neither scorched nor grooved, thankfully. |
