Eye Teeth!

[Anonymous]

Just a vent really… Marisa got her MMR shot one week ago tonight. We also

started weaning her off her Pepcid the next day (per doctor, slowly bringing

down dose). The last few days she’s been REALLY cranky and having some

wet burps and chewing her arm and not sleeping as well – so DH and I were

racking our brains – is the Pepcid the problem, shots, getting sick… Anyway,

this morning while I had her in the bath I checked her mouth and the corner

of her top right eye tooth is through! The poor girl… I thought the molars

would come first – but I guess not… I’m thinking lots of Motrin and Hylands

the next few days/weeks…

I also would go back up on Pepcid as the teething with excess drooling/spit can aggrivate the reflux and then go back down after they poke through……

Good idea Ann Marie – we had gone down from 1ml BID to .8 BID but will go

back up for now I think and try again later!

Oh no, poor girl! Does she have her other 8 teeth out?? Matthew has 7 and is starting on molars…. seems like the 8th one will come after teh molars, which the ped thinks it is strange!!!

[Anonymous]

Nope – she has 6 incisors – 4 top and 2 bottom – thought the other two

bottom and molars would come first – but nope! Motrin helped some this

morning but not enough… And this rain is making it impossible to go out

for a long walk which always helps distract her. Matthew is getting his

molars?

Poor sweetie. I hope she’s feeling better soon.

Thanks guys – the combination of Motrin and Humphrey’s Teething Tablets

helped a lot. Everywhere by me was out of Hyland’s and the pharmacist at

CVS recommended the Humphrey’s instead – said they’ve been around

longer and she thinks works better and no lactose. So one eye tooth partially

through – 3.5 more to go…

Poor Marisa! I hope she is feeling better soon! Isaac was actually ok about his eye teeth (even though he was horrible with every other tooth) and he now has 16 teeth! He is about to get his last 4 molars too!

[Anonymous]

Poor Marisa! At least you know what the problem is now.

Sarah, I can’t believe that Isaac now has 16 teeth!!!! WOW!

Thais, Hailey also only has 7 teeth, and I too think it’s wierd. She has 4 on the top, 3 on the bottom. The oddball 7th one came through about a month ago, and still no others in sight. Another wierd thing is that her teeth don’t seem to come out in pairs, and that they’re really small (maybe short is a better word, the width is normal).

[Anonymous]

So not only is poor Marisa working on eye teeth (top right one through) but

also her molars! Still no sight of the other two bottom incisors – odd.

Myles is cutting molars, too. We went through two weeks of ear infection misery, and the molars. I wish babies were born with all of their teeth because teething really sucks.

[Anonymous]

It’s so sad – Marisa keeps grabbing her mouth and her ears because of the

molar pain. I feel so badly for them!

[Anonymous]

I know, I feel awful about it too. I just hate teething. And it seems to take FOREVER. I was so lucky with Liza because she had 18 teeth by about 15 months. She just got one after another after another, so it was all over with quickly. Myles still only has 8 teeth and working on only one molar, so it’s going to be a long while yet.

I’m starting to wonder what’s up with Hailey’s teeth! She’s 15.5 months and only had 7 teeth. And she’s had the 7th for over 1.5 months now with no signs of the 8th in sight… I thought that they were supposed to come in pairs. It’s so wierd!

[Anonymous]

It is so sad! My whole perception of sweet babies has been skewed this past year. It really is a year or 2 of pain with gas, reflux, teething, ear infections. Poor babies! I’m glad you mentioned the teething tablets, I am running to cvs to buy some, as usual Ryann is doing the same thing as Marissa, cutting eye teeth. Seem’s like it is taking forever!

Ryann is grabbing at her ears alot lately, I know she doesn’t have an ear infection- it never occurred to me that it could be related to teething! Hope Marissa feels better once they pop through!
