Just about 20 minutes ago, I had a little baby sitting down in her high chair, shooting food off of her plate and even had food on the ceiling. YES. There was food on the ceiling, and when I asked said baby why she did that, she begins to cry.
WOW. I begin to clean the food, and no, not just one meal, but two, because I, stupidly thought that she just didn’t want the food I had served to her, so I made her something else…and that’s what ended up on the ceiling.
At the point where I had to get on a chair to clean my daughter’s food from the ceiling and wall, I almost burst into tears.
I knew I couldn’t do that, because there’s something already bothering my daughter, and I felt that if I had, I’d be selfish and letting her down. Holding all of it back, I cleaned everything up, including her, and just held her. She laid her head against my chest, and just held on to me.
It was obvious she needed a nap, but she normally gobbles up breakfast, and so I knew it was more than just not wanting to eat what I gave her. I hunted them down, and immediately handed them to her.
She picks them up from my hand, and puts all of them in her mouth. They instantly dissolve, and AHHHHHH, she lays her head back down as I rock back and forth in the chair. Within what seemed like seconds, she was asleep. No more cranky pants, no more crying, or throwing food in a fit.
You might be wondering what I gave her, and no it wasn’t anything bad, or harmful to her. The only thing that’s ever helped my daughter when she’s teething has been Hyland’s Homeopathic Teething Tablets. It seems as though almost instantly, the pain is gone, and she can relax.
No, I wasn’t paid or given anything free to tell you this story about my experience, but I wanted to share this information with other mothers out there that are having a hard time with getting their children to eat, or sleep or from being cranky. It seems like at the beginning of a really bad teething episode, that’s what happens, sleeplessness, crankiness, and not wanting to eat(ness). The only thing that has every helped has been Hylands, and THANK GOODNESS! Mostly because I think I would certainly go insane without it!
