14mo DD is teething, after months of nothing at all last night she all of a sudden went from 0 to 60 in the teething stakes and is cutting three teeth at once as best as I can tell -dribbly, irritable, hard gums, etc.
For the last two hours she has sat with her chin in her hands, wailing. She doesn't want me to hold her but how very dare I put her down, I must not speak to her but heaven forbid I say nothing, I'm not to try and distract her with toys but the mother of all shit fits will ensue if I stop waggling Pooh Bear around like a loon.
Basically there's no pleasing her.
I gave her Calpol about an hour ago and she spat some of it out, impossible to say how much but I can't give her another dose now. I've also given her teething gel. I tried giving her an ice pop to chew on and she just got angry and cried harder so I tried fresh carrot, same reaction.
She's hungry and keeps toddling to her highchair and giving me a sad look but whenever I try to feed her she gets upset all over again as soon as she puts the food in her mouth. I tried soup, no go. She did eat half a cheese pasty she mooched off my mum though
so she's had something at least. Her tea was a yoghurt because it's all she would let me put in her mouth.
3yo DS has been drooling virtually non-stop for a while and keeps making that 'fffffftttt' sucking saliva back in noise. We have to keep reminding him to swallow and I was planning to see our GP if it didn't stop. Today it seems to have kicked up a notch and he is drooling to the point that his chin is wet and he has a damp patch on his shirt that matches DD's.
The dentist says he has all of his teeth so is it even possible that he's teething!? He has also cried for the last two hours as he wants his tea but it hurts to chew it. I suggested he just eat his soup and leave the bread. Huge tantrum. He has had some Calpol and yoghurt for his tea and is still making the 'fffffftttt' noise.
My head is about to burst but mostly I feel so bad for them because it seems like there is nothing at all I can do to make them feel better.
