I swear my daughter has been teething since she was four months old. She had all the symptoms but alas her first tooth didn’t appear until a few weeks before her first birthday. It’s been a rocky road since then with her drooling, constantly putting her fist in her mouth and waking up in the middle of the night (or from naps) screaming. One of my girl friends that has a little girl about 10 months older than Kennedy, had told me that teething was the worst phase. As a Mother of a three month old at the time, I didn’t believe it could be any worse than those sleepless nights (or more sleepless than they currently are) and maybe it isn’t, but damn if I won’t tell you it’s tough. It’s tough because there is not much you can do. I won’t pretend I’m one of those Mom’s that won’t give my kid Tylenol or ibuprofen but you don’t want to over do it and I try REALLY hard to not give her anything during the day. I had heard mixed reviews about teething tablets and already had all the teething toys (ice keys, banana toothbrush, SOPHIE, vibrating strawberry) and had tried the other methods (frozen washcloth, cold foods, etc) to say I was at a loss when Kennedy had a rougher than usual few nights is putting it lightly.
Than, the other day I was over a client’s house, who also happens to be a dear friend and a Mother to a two and a half year old and one month old and she introduced me to Camilia. She told me her doctor had recommended it and that it had seemed to work with her older daughter and being the SAINT that she is, she gave me a few of the packets. Basically it’s a little liquid packet of homeopathic medicine that you give your baby and I swear within minutes it calmed Kennedy down. Test case 1 I was actually at my friends and I gave it to her, she was being insanely cranky and kept putting her fist in her mouth and by the time I left she had calmed down to the point that I put her in the carseat with a cracker (sorry babe, sometimes it’s what I need to do to not off myself while driving with her) and she fell asleep within minutes still holding the cracker. Test case 2 she went to bed at 7pm and woke up around 10pm clearly in pain. I had already given her ibuprofen so that was off the table (insert four letter word of your choice) but alas I remembered about the Camilia so, I gave it to her and she slept until SIX AM!! I know, some of you Mom’s might think that’s not that great, and it isn’t compared to your twelve hour sleep babies but this Momma? This Momma thinks that is amazing/life changing/I want to invest in stock for Camilia. So, if you’re anything like me, do yourself a favor and Amazon Prime that sh*t (click on the link). You’re welcome :)
