That is so sad. Poor little baby girl. :(
Hugs from one Charlotte and mama to another! Mine just cute 4 teeth in a row giving her a total of 12 teeth now. Her poor little gums have been so swollen. We’ve been through the fevers, restless nights waking up in pain, gnawing on everything in sight and the bloody nipples - twice (ouch!). We’ve found that on top of a lot of extra hugs and cuddles, that homemade Popsicles have relieved some pain. As well as some teethers called P & Q Chewy Tubes. They’re thick and can reach the the back of her mouth. Definitely not looking forward to the two year molars.
Sounds painful! I remember you writing (read your blog often but don’t comment much) about her teething when she was young and not wanting to use an amber teething necklace. What about now that she is older? My fourth baby is now 8 months and teething. I never had the necklace for my boys but my daugther recieved it as a gift so I thought I would try it. I believe it really works! It cuts down considerablly on the droolling. She knaws less on things when she has it on. I do only put it on her in my view and never while sleeping but for daytime comfort I truly believe it is helping! Here is a link but I am sure you have read about them…

His nose has been running nearly constantly… and like you, I don’t do the quick sprint to the medicine cabinet for tylenol, we just let him ride it out. I’ll say it doesn’t sound as bad as yours, but I agree - a toddler getting teeth is so much worse than an infant with a boob in his mouth.
As for the band aid. Jude had a bruise on his shin from soccer the other day and asked for a band aid… and he had an ear infection one time and asked us to take his ear off (I guess he thought he was some sort of mr potato head). He makes me chuckle.
I have soooooo been there with my daughter! It does get better. I love the picture—she is such a little sweetheart.
