Cross Cutting!!

[*Sparklez*]

So DD is crosscutting, she has 2 teeth coming down, right after the front four top ones, i have never seen it before ive heard of the oness next to the front two but not the ones after that, the poor thing has been giving me hell the last few days and i cant imagine the pain she is in..
Ive been giving her nurofen and also hard cold things to bite down on, but what else can i do?
Has anyone else's child done this? (cross cutting before?)

[~Lashes~]

just so i understand... is that were the have a tooth, miss one then get the next one from the missed one?
if so then dd is doing it to, her first top molars have started coming threw but she has a gap between them and her front teeth. absolute hell!

[*Sparklez*]

Ummm, lol, im just guessing but i think it means when they get the sides before the fronts..itms?
but intead of just getting the sides she is getting the ones after that!!
so your front four teeth, she is getting the ones beside them.!!

Oh its so painful to watch but at the same time she is driving me CRAZY!! constant whinging, and crying and aaarrrGGGHHHHHH!! lol
and she isnt sleeping in the day so its even worse cause then she is over tired too!!

DD1 did that...looked very cute she looked like a little vampire

[~Lashes~]

yeah im not sure how it works either! makes you glad we cant remember what teething was like tho.
i use a teething neclace and bonjella (if ds2 hasnt nicked off with it and eaten it all ) as well as the frosen teethers she sometimes prefers a frozen wet facewasher and frozen bits of fruit.

"canine" teeth. (Teeth eruption chart) They were absolute HELL here too. The worst DS was with any of his teeth including molars He got soo sick - very hot, vomiting, diarrhea, drool (omg the drool ) SCREAMED all day and all night long. After that we got the teething necklace and have very little problem since, so I def reccomend one of those! lol Otherwise nurofen works well with teeth because it's an anti inflamatory and bonjela because it numbs the area (there are alternatives to bonjela if your worried about recent-ish media reports. I think one is called SM33?). Also heard good things about brauers teething relief.

HTH

Teething sucks.

[Party-of-five]

yeah we are loving the Brauers here for DD2

[~Lashes~]

there the 2 dd1 has skipped, i hope there not worse then the first molars
i got mine from bambeado

ETA: interested to know the recent reports on bonjella.. my ds2 if he gets away with out me noticing will eat the whole tube

[*Sparklez*]

ROFL!!! thats what i said to my mum today lol

and she told me when i had to have my front 4 removed i looked like her exactly lol..
what did you do for the pain? and how long did it last?

[*Sparklez*]

yeah im doing the teething rings etc, but these teething necklaces ive never heard of??
where do you get them?
she is only 4 1/2 months so she still hasnt got her hand co-ordination up to scratch yet lol, but i suppose i can help her out lol

[~Lashes~]

its called a amber teething neclace i got my one off ebay and it works great! the last week (when her molars started coming threw) was absolute hell, i remeberd the neclace put it on her yesterday and today shes a lot less moody and grumpy.

[Party-of-five]

sorry Im no help DD was a fine teether didnt bother her DD2 on the other hand

[*Sparklez*]

OOOooooo! im gunna check it out!! like right now lol

[*Sparklez*]

OMG!!! HOW BAD IS IT!!! out of 4 children i can not believe this is happening NOW!! none of my boys ever had a problem with teething seriously one would pop out and then another and another and not a peep..
But this girl, wellllll, let me tell you!!! as much as i love her, im ready to sell her LOL (jokingly)
So what do these necklaces do exactly? can you buy them from baby shops?
And funnily enough i have seen nothing on anywhere about bonjela? OOpps

[~Lashes~]

i looked everywere and could only find them online.

[Calluna]

There was heaps about it at the time (bonjela) I'll see if i can find the thread...

Basically the teething necklace is worn around the neck/ ankle and the heat of bubs skin makes it release "succinic acid". This makes it's way into bubs body and acts as a natural pain relief. That's my understanding of it anyway. please someone tell me if I'm wrong because that's how I explain it to everyone
