My cousin recently told me about the program at http://savingmorethanbefore.com At her recommendation I signed up for their sampler program and I have to share the amazing results with everyone. Using this program last night for the first time, my husband and I had an overflowing cart of groceries and non food general items. In all it rang up to $538.16 but thanks to this program we only paid $ 32.88! We weren't the only ones shocked, the cashier's mouth dropped. It is literally about paying pennies on the dollar for everything!

I know this page isn't active but I wanted to let everyone know that may see this that Hyland's Teething Tablets have been recalled. Belladonna is a known poison and they have found inconsistancies with the amounts that have been put into them. My doctors, pharmiscists, other moms and I have been saying for years to stay away from this product for this exact reason. I wouldn't give my child 'safe' doses of arsenic so why would I do the same with belladonna? Please look up the recall. They have a list of recalled bottles. In the meantime stop use of them!

HELP!!!! Nate is now 7 & 1/2 months old - He has been a dream sleeper from 3months old and has always slept a good 12 hours. BUT now the last week he has been waking at 2am! We give him a nice warm bottle but it takes a good hour for us to get him to drift off back to sleep and then once he is back down he has a very restless sleep tossing and turning and sooking for the rest of the morning until 8am when he wakes for the day. What is going on??? why is my baby waking now??? The only thing i can think of is teething??? His bottom teeth are just about to cut through, you can just see little white dots and his gums are very lumpy and hard where the teeth will be, and he is drooling like crazy. Could he be waking in the night because of the pain? It seems like he wakes up and for some reason he just cant put himself back to sleep, HELP has this happened to anyone else? Feeling alittle lost.

I think my 4 month old might be teething.. but I see no sings of teeth coming in. He drools like crazy, coughs, grabs his ear or cheek once in a while and gaws on everything. Lately now he gets super distracted from nursing?Is that a sign? If i'm doing anything while nursing him he stops. He also lets out these screams like something is really hurting him. Is this teething?

mommaof2girls - I wouldn't worry at all. My daughter (now 14 months) got her first two teeth a week before her first birthday, although I've heard of children going much longer before getting them. I've read (and confirmed with her paed.) that this is a good sign and means that they're gums are very healthy and that they're teeth will come in strong and healthy as well. If you're really unsure, ask your doctor/her paediatrician. I wouldn't worry about this though... I don't know anyone that has no teeth as a result of them never coming through!

gommmba, check the teeth!!!! mine got two teeth by 3 months. They might just be moving and hurt! Started teething by two months and was everything you are saying yours is. She had 12 teeth by her first birthday and is getting a eye tooth today ....up all night. Get teething tablets(all natural), frozen binkys, frozen bagels and everything ready (orgel, Tylenol(if you have too). Also if he is drooling get some gripe water because the drool could be bothering his stomach. We would mix the gripe water w/ a little water. They do want to eat more when teething because it feels good to chew and they are loosing hydration when drooling. Give baby some water if he is drooling that much(I know what they say about water and being logical it makes no sense. everything needs water).

My 10yob got his first tooth just b4 his 1st bday and now they are perfect teeth. dont worry about it and count your blessings. Older children can tell you if they have a sore mouth.

Goombagirl- I am almost positive this is just a growth spurt. My son is 11 weeks old an dwe went through the same thing about that time, and it was so exhausting and frustrating. I now know it was a groth spurt and wont last forever! :)

Hi folks! I have a teething question..dunno if anyone would know (I'll ask a pediatrician once I get one set up..just left my midwife's care) My son is 7 weeks old and his behaviour really changed this week. He's VERY fussy and has full on tantrums, he is wanting to eat much more frequently but only eats for a few moments before falling asleep (and he won't take more if i wake him up). If I put him to nap when he falls asleep he wakes up in 10-20minutes and is fussy again. He's drooling a LOT, and sucks on his hand or arm frequently, and sometimes seems to grab at his mouth/nose. He eats well first thing in the morning and is happy in the morning but he's more cranky then happy throughout the day. Im wondering, could he be teething already?? Or is it just the cranky-2-month phase.... growth spurt...? I dunno!!

My best friend has 7 month old baby. She says that he is getting a top tooth and that it began to bleed. not alot but enough that blood was on his bottom lip. She called me and I had never heard or had this happen before. I told her I would ask about it on this site. Has anyone had this happen before with your babies?

Hello all. Just wanted to dropa quick note about teething. My daughter started to get teeth at four months. They ( two teeth) popped out a few days after she turned 5 months. Humphrey's teething tablets work WONDERS!!! IMO better than Hylands. you may have to order them online, they dont sell them around here so i had to get my mother to pick some up in Texas during her visit. Cold fruit also works verrrrrrrry well. You can also freeze a washcloth soaked in water, diluted juice or chamomile tea. My girl loved chewing on that!!!! Just remember its temporary... it sucks to see someone so innocent having such horrible days but they look so darn cute when they come in. =] later gators!

Just wondering how long it took, from when you first noticed teething and seeing a white bump, for the tooth to actually break through? My son is almost five months and I see two little 'buds' one on top and one on the bottom He's pretty miserable, off and on, he's normally happy, happy, happy. Just hope this doesn't last TOO long!

ice chips work wonders... they melt really fast, the babies love them and no choking. Motrin with the tablets works great too, but I found that they love ice chips. I started this at about 6 months old and my son is now 17 months and it still works like a charm! Hope this helps!

I used the Hylands Teething tables, the Hylands teething drops AND the Hylands teething gel. LOL (not all at once though) and I got amber/amethyst cream that I rub on my son's neck. (works like the neclaces). Mind you I don't see a regular MD.

i got my teething tablets at CVS. i went to Target to get them, but there weren't any. also you can put a piece of frozen fruit (peach, pear, banana) into the mesh-feeder and they can chew on that it helps a lot!

I have a 7 mo old who has 7 teeth coming in all at once. He cries all day. HELP. I've tried everything. Where do you get these teething tablets?

luvmyboy-I use the Hyland's teething tablets and love them. I used them with my first child as well. The level of belladonna is miniscule (.0003%). Very safe homeopathic teething solution.

Manda-may I use the baltic amber necklace too. Grace didnt really suffer with her first tooth, It appeared in 3days with just a little fussing but lots of dribble! The necklace arrived after it came through but she now wears it during the day and has just cut her second tooth with no fussing and hardly any dribble. Could be the necklace but could not either way im still going to continue using it. Anyway Grace's second tooth is not her second bottom tooth but the top lefthand tooth. So now she has the top and bottom left hand teeth no right hand bottom teeth!

Hey Ladies! My LO is 7 months old and he has his two bottom front teeth and his upper lateral incisor is coming in. I thought the upper centrals came before the laterals.. He has been very fussy at night and tylenol doesn't always help. Has anyone tried hylands teething tabs and did they help? I read somewhere that one of the ingredients is Belladonna and supposidly can be fatal in large amounts? has anoyone else heard this? Is it safe to give my little guy these tabs and do they work??? any replies would be greatly appreciated Thanks!!
