I'm with slouching mom. Even though I'm more inclined to take the holisitic approach on things, if they're that uncomfortable, one dose of ibuprofen usually does the trick.

Ditto the above - if the teething tablets don't do it, I'd try the ibuprofen too. Every sleepless day adds up...here's hoping you get a chance to catch up on some sleep.

Catch an afternoon nap? Am I in fantasyland?

Ugh, I don't have any advice. How about some empathy? I have tons of empathy for you.

Grr, we are going through some molars too. I think Fly got two teeth in this past week. Nothing makes him happy. I keep him hopped up on Hyland's during the day and give him Motrin at night before bed. And occasionally, he bites me....
