So this post is to vent and to find out if any additional mom’s are going through this too. My baby is 6 mos ancient and full blown teething. I am very excited to have just received the whole p90x series from a coworker to use. I kid u not-I can only get 10 min max time in before he starts fussing or screaming. I am frustrated and disappoited! He has been like this for a whole month now and its drivin me bananas w/ not getting in hard workouts anymore! I have completed the 30 day shred when he was younger which was nice w/ shorter workouts. He doesn’t nap but during the day and always wants held

When all else fails, try waking up earlier.

Look for baltic amber teething necklaces. The things are a lifesaver! Inspired by Finn is where we’ve gotten ours from! They are well worth it! Also, hyland teething tablets are very helpful too!

My son is past this now, but what worked for us was an amber teething necklace. He wore it 24/7 and we had very small issue with teething, right up until his last molars, which were a b!tch because he couldn’t wear the necklace anymore! FWIW, we got ours from Inspired By Finn, and I *like* them.

Hyland’s teething tablets are awesome! My son had 12 teeth when he turned 12 months, so from 4months to a year he was miserable a lot of the time. Does he have a swing or a movie or show he pays attention to? Anything that will entertain him while you have your mommy time. My 3yo likes doing the 30DS with me…in his own way. Excellent luck!!

I really know. My eight month ancient finally (days gone by) cut his top two teeth, the past month and a half have been challenging. I pretty much only get a excellent work out if I go to the gym and my kids go to the childcare in the gym.

I wish I had answers. I just work out while he’s doing his 30min nap, then bring him back downstairs with me and try to end as much as I can until he starts fussing. Excellent luck. Know you’re not alone!! Maybe it’s a Christmas baby business…

Please don’t place necklaces on babies–the strangulation danger is very real. I won’t get into the dubious “science” of amber–we hall have our things that we like or judge in. But please, if you do choose to go this way, be very aware of the dangers of necklaces on babies.

FYI
-it is a neckless that releases Saccharin acid which is an anti inflammatory
-it is not meant to be chewed on
-most have knots between each bead to keep beads from scattering if it breaks
-take it off when baby is asleep.

I would suggest a book Babywise and pretoddler wise by gary ezzo …..buy it on amazon…he gives incredible skills and techniques and moral upbringing to help your baby with not just teething , taking naps, intake, manners you name it! everything you may maybe maybe have questions about.and be a mommy…..anyway, it’s really been incredible for me and my babies, my first i did what i thought i should do without readying much, but this go around on my next two babies my cousin bought me the book for my baby shower , greatest gift on life a mom more than any additional gift I received. No joke,

My first son was just as you’re discribing – additional than he did take a nap, but I worked full time during the day, so I did not get one. I have 3 boys now and here is what I learned: You can have it all, just not all at the same time. So, what that meant for me was I can work out, but not on my own terms for a few years. The one business that seemed to be the best pleased standard was to doing walks/jogs outside with stroller – some reason the outdoors was soothing to the small ones. My best investment: a BOB jogging stroller. A new single jogger runs $3-400. At first I thought that was ridiculous for a stroller, but public spend twice that on a treadmill and after a couple of less expensive versions and repeated let-down in product, I finally bought one – it has been worth EVERY CENT! It gave me so much freedom that when I found out I was pregnant with #3 when #2 was only 9 mos ancient, I immediately started researching the exact same model only in a double and bought one. My kids like to ride in it and it looks awesome! Now that my youngest is going on 4, I’m back to using the single. Excellent luck – even though it will seem like these challenging stages may last forever, they really won’t. Someday you will be able to breathe again, in the meantime, delight in the sweet innocence – it won’t last forever any!!

fruit in a teether worked fantastic for my oldest. I would place watermellon, peaches and pears in it, he loved it!!! Then Tylenol and Orajel, the teething tablets didnt seem to help him.

I feel your pain. I have a 9 month ancient who has been teething for about 3 months but no teeth yet. I am lucky though because he does nap during the afternoon and that’s when I try to workout. When he doesn’t nap at same time that I want to workout I place him in the walker or exersaucer and he watches me workout. I really recommend bodyrock.tv because her workouts are 12-20 minutes long and super intense. I like her!!!! Excellent luck to ya.
On a mission to lose my baby belly and booty. I want to get back into shape and look even better than I did before pregnancy!

I had to show my son how to bite down on it a couple of times before he understood and now he always has it. He even takes it to bed with him and falls asleep chewing on it lol http://www.walmart.com/ip/Infantino-Vibrating-Teether/16326934
