Laurel’s top two teeth are coming in and she’s been having a tough go of it. I can’t remember Oscar having this much trouble with teething–we were lucky. She’s just been really hard to please lately and she doesn’t just get cranky, she gets hysterical. She’s in pain, no fair! Tonight I was holding her and fixing to cook some frozen edamame for her dinner when she made it abundantly clear that she wanted the food NOW. I gave her a frozen bean and she loved it. I guess they felt good on her little teeth? Here she is with her frozen edamame.

I’m glad you found something that worked! I’m going to file that one away for later. What a cutie.
Mogs loved frozen peas and frozen blueberries when she teethed. Yummier than a cold washcloth.
I’ve seen a big frozen peeled carrot work wonders for the babes with new teeth. There’s no way that they can devour it it one sitting so it can be gnawed for a good, long while. Best of luck until all those chompers come in! Hope to see you guys soon!
