Panic Over What To Do For Teething Babies - Mommalicious ...

This morning I drove the Bean to the pediatrician to find out what to do for teething babies.  I was at my wits end and I was certain that I was going to need and al-non meeting for Bean to talk about her toddler Tylenol addiction any day now. You see I have made it over a year without the parental panic over what to do for teething babies,  I didn't even now Bean was teething until she bit my finger and I learned her first tooth standing at attention.  Our experience with infant teeth has been rather simple.  Some fevers and messed up sleep with her molars but not really anything to terrible until now.  I thought that after she got her molars, that I was in the clear.  When it came to knowing what to do for teething babies, I needed toddler Tylenol for any fever that might arise, yogurt- place in the freezer for a few minutes and a modest extra TLC.  The Bean liked to snuggle away her annoying teething pains and I was more than willing to accommodate.  The problem has been her eye teeth they are all coming in together and they are simply not giving her any concord.  After giving her Tylenol everyday for well over a week for a low fever, my inner mom started to panic.  What if the fever was something else?  What if her fever was a honest illness?  What if the cold that I thought was a upshot of the teething was really some rare, often missed seriously deadly illness?  Over-reaction? Maybe, but that is just so where my head was this morning at 3am when the Bean woke crying with a temperature of 100.3.  I was on the phone with the doctor three minutes after they opened and after a nice long walk in the silent morning sun, we headed over for her appointment.  On my drive over I realized, I had not wiped a running nose all morning, she had not been cranky and clingy either.  I had not tartan her temperature when she woke up because I had given her Tylenol at three AM.  I suddenly found myself wondering if I was the crazy mom taking her perfectly healthy child to the pediatrician because of a three am panic attack.  I was.  When we arrived at the doctors office, there was no fever, there was no infection or even running nose.  She blew kisses to everyone in her path and hammed it up as the doctor told me I did not have to worry about what to do for teething babies.  She said she was handling it normally,  there was no underlying deadly illness (not that I admitted that dread aloud) that cold yogurt and snuggles were perfect and that her low fever for the past week was just so what I thought it was, consecutive teeth pushing through her gums.  As I drove away,  I shook my head as I realized I was that mom,  the one that panicked over a fever and the one that spent what may maybe have been a new pair of shoes on an excessive co-pay.
