Got a Teether?

Well my life the last few weeks has been taken over by TEETHING. Yes, the dreaded T word that strikes fear into all mother's hearts, especially the poor nursing mothers who get to train these babies to NOT bite the mom that feeds you.

The other week, we drove Mr. C home screaming all the way and Aren said to me "I think he's teething". Luckily, this go round I have a few more remedies in my arsenal to help this than I did before. Both of my boys wear amber teething necklaces but when I got home I tried something I had seen on Pinterest. I rubbed coconut oil along his jawline with a drop of lavender.

I always enjoy that cool magic moment where the oils just work and that's what happened. Crying stopped almost instantly and we had our baby back. How awesome is that?

Another one of the things on my wish list is some Young Living gentle baby oil because I have heard this eases some of the tummy troubles associated with teething. What are your favorite ways to ease tummy troubles while teething?
