So Maggie is now 16 months old. She has almost all of her teeth. Apparently some more are coming in (I'm guessing what they call the two year molars as she
already has her one year molars) and life is miserable. She's going through all the typical teething stuff-low grade fever/drooling/chewing on
everything/waking up at night/that nasty teething poop which has caused the nasty diaper rash. I've tried the Hyland's teething tablets, Motrin,
Tylenol, Baby Orajel; you name it. I've got the diaper rash as under control as can be. I'm down to using Motrin maybe once a day, orajel when needed
and the Hyland's throughout the day. I've cut out anything that tends to make her go poop such as fruit. Nothing seems to really help. The
pediatricians answer is to basically "wait it out." I'm getting seriously tired of having a super cranky/nasty kiddo. She's normally really
happy and easy going. It's 7am here (she's only been up since 6)and we've already had about 3 full blown tantrums. So, all you moms who've been
through this; any super secret mom tricks you're willing to share?

ps-I haven't stooped to the whole "rub whiskey on their gums" thing but I'm starting to consider it!
