I don't have the heart to take pictures of the guy crying...<\/p><\/div>\n

The poor guy is being struck by fits of teething misery. In fact, the teething pain is at times radically changing Christian’s behavior: in the last three days he has adamantly refused to nurse three times when he’s been upset and actually fallen asleep in my arms just by being jiggled. He’s not a big fusser – so I’m not complaining, but yes he is going for hours crying and fussing and stuffing his fist in his mouth, because of the pain.<\/p>\n

We have been using the Hyland’s Teething tablets with some success – I just feel a nagging worry about relying so heavily on them, so I try to keep their use to a minimum. And besides, I don’t think that the lactose base used in the tablets qualifies in our wheat and dairy-free diet month. He still gets them a couple times a day.<\/p>\n

So, the Chad dad and I have broken down and spent some money on the guy.<\/p>\n

Last night I went a beautiful little store in Mission Viejo called Live ‘n Nature<\/a> to get Christian a proper wooden teething ring for $8. Thirty dollars later…and that’s with a 15% discount and no tax. Oh well.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>We got him this lovely simple teething ring which is the perfect size, weight, and texture for him. Christian loves it already. It’s very lightweight; Chad was surprised that something so small would be $8, but where else can you find a simple wooden teething ring? Not at Babies ‘R Us, unfortunately, because I still have a large gift card to spend there.<\/p>\n

We also got him an amber necklace which is supposed to help relieve pain.<\/p>\n

The boy in the picture below is the very adorable son of the owner of Live ‘n Nature<\/a>, whom I know know through the attachment parenting group. He is also the same boy riding the balance bike in the videos I posted last week. I highly recommend shopping at her store<\/a> if you need to buy a lovely natural gift for a baby in your life. Click on any of the images to go to her store<\/a> – she has a physical storefront (but be careful because you’ll want to buy everything in the shop! not everything is online yet…), but ends up doing most of her business online.<\/p>\n
