My little one just turned a year old. My goodness, what a drama queen! Any little thing can turn in to a bunch of tears. The dogs knocked her on her bum, that set her off. Well I get it, she’s teething. She has her good days and her bad days. For the most part I try my best to keep her distracted, while keeping in mind that I need to get my task completed. So here’s a few tips I’ve learned along the way. Feel free to share your own experiences.

Night time struggles

Usually my little one is a great sleeper but ever since that little tooth began to make an appearance she began to struggle to fall asleep at night. I could tell she was dead tired. Her eyes were puffy, she was rubbing her gums with her pacifier. I felt bad for my little girl. So I gave her a kiss, tucked her in and walked away. That same night I ordered the baby orajel. I don’t apply it a lot, just on those days that I know she could use some soothing ointment.
