[blparent] teething

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

Most likely where you feel a bump is where a tooth is coming through. 
Usually the first ones are the two bottom front ones, followed by the two 
top front ones.  What I've done with Remus is to freeze a banana and let him 
suck and chew on it.  the feeling of the banana feels good on their teeth, 
and there's a natural sedative in banana that helps with the pain.  When 
Colyn was teething he liked those vibrating teething toys as well.
