Front Teeth!!!

Well Happy New Year!

I was checking out my son's teeth last night and noticed why he's been teething like crazy this month, his top two front teeth have made an appearance! They have just broken the skin and you can feel the teeth ridge but they are there.

Kaelan was about 4 mths old when he got his first two bottom front teeth, I was amazed that he got teeth so early but now he is about a week away from being 6 mths old and now he will have 4 teeth once they come all the way down, amazing!

As a nursing mom, this kind of worries me that he will now have two top and two bottom teeth to bite me with (nervous laugh). :)
I read somewhere that teeth are based on genetics for when they come in so I wonder which one of us (my husband or me) was the early teether to pass on this wonderful gene to our son. :)

I do have a wonderful ace in my pocket for teething that i'm happy to pass along. It's called "Camilla" made by Borion and you can purchase this little bit of magic from Walmart for $13.99 or from Zehrs for $15.99 or from the Old Kitchen Cupboard for $19.99. It's a capsule of clear liquid that has not much taste, that you squirt in your baby's mouth (they have to swallow it). You give it 15 minutes to work and if your baby is still upset you can give them another round or two every 15 minutes. You can't overdose your baby and it works so fast! No more tears and red cheeks! Amazing!

I also have Camilla pellets from my Naturopatic doctor that work as well, the liquid Camilla is still my favorite as I can just squirt it in my baby's mouth, pellets can be a bit tricky to get in the baby's mouth sometime.

I have also tried the Hylands Teething Tablets that work in a pinch but not as effective as the Camilla. As for baby Tylenol or Motrin, I've tried even these before I discovered Camilla and they didn't seem to work with my baby very well, plus i'm not interested in feeding him chemicals when there is a natural alternative.

Well that's my blurb about teething and Camilla, a magic wonderful thing for teething babies! :)

Good luck to all who have a teething baby.
