Hot nights and teething in the city!

Okay, my three month old is teething! Let me repeat, my three month old is not just teething but 2 teeth, yes 2, have popped through and made an appearance! I thought babies waited until at least they were ready for food to pop out teeth. I guess I was wrong. He is just early. I blame my husband who also got teeth at 3 months.

What is a natural mom to do with a fussy baby (fussy is really overstating here, he is normally so even keeled that his slight bouts of discomfort and crying are abnormal). Besides lots of "the boob" I pulled out the amber teething necklace. Why do I put a necklace on my son. Well the properties in amber are absorbed in the skin and reduce inflammation to help with teething pain and it seemed to work for my older son so I will try it again. I also am using my Hylands Chamomile homeopathic religiously and that seems to be working great. 2 pills that dissolve easily in the mouth once or twice a day.

Let me know what has worked for you?

On a side note, I think I am ready for the nights to cool and cozy up in the house more. I am ready for the fall to set in. Good thing it is almost September.
