Oi my 4 m/o seems to have been teething for over a month now. She has two teeth and looks like more are coming.
She doesn't seem too bothered by the tooth pain. For that I know, whiskey *o'wait thats for me* ora-jel, etc
But what kinds of things are out there for her tummy?? She seems so backed up and is having a hard time pooping or getting her gas out.
Help, I want one night to sleep for more than 20min lol
There is a baby massage called the "I love you" stroke (because it kind of makes and I, L, U pattern on their belly) it works wonders for my daughter when she is consipated. Google baby massage for constipation and you should find instructions
Mylicon worked wonders for my son, who also had acid reflux issues. Mylicon worked instantly!
my son's pedi told me to use those baby suppositories. my son's always had a problem with being backed up & gassy...(well, not so much while teething, all the extra saliva...it's bad lol) anyhow, i just use half of one. he doesn't even let the thing dissolve much before...well, you know. and then he's such a happy baby.
I also wanted to recommend the Mylicon. You can get it cheaper at Walgreens if you get the Walgreens brand. It does work instantly!
I like Humphrey's Teething tablets and strips. They are homeopathic and run no risk of choking like if you over-use the Orajel.
Get Gripe water for any tummy issues :)
You will find both items either in the baby aisle with the Orajel, or gripe water might be with baby gas drops (Mylacon and others) in the pharmacy aisles.
I used gripe water seemed to help with gas pains. Doesn't do anything for pooping problems, though.... I also use the 'I love you' tummy massage. Normally she get it every night after her bath. I use lotion, and stroke down on the area under her belly button. Then I rub small clockwise circles. Then the ' I L U ' shapes on the left, center, and right sides of her tummy. It works wonders on her!
