Try it Tuesday: Hyland’s Teething Tablets

I’ll admit it I didn’t just stumble upon Hyland’s Teething Tablets, I have used this product at some point with both my boys.  I’m writing about it now because I have a renewed love for this product.

The last couple of weeks have been rough with my little guy.  He has always been on the go.  He started to walk at 9 months and never looked back.  I joke that he can climb like Spiderman but has the temper of the Hulk. 

Don't be fooled by his cute looks

He has always been independent but the last two weeks, he has just been down right stubborn.  Case in point, he was struggling to get up on the bed so I picked him up.  Did I get a hug, a smile, or a kiss for my help? Nope. Instead he screamed at me while getting down so he could struggle to get back up on his own.  Fine little man, have it your way…. Struggle on!

In addition to these wonderful power struggles, Emmett started to wake up at night.  It wasn’t a pleasant, “hey guys I am up and love you”, kind of thing but more like “AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I am up and miserable”.  I initially went in to rock and cuddle with him but those wonderful thoughts vanished as I held my kicking and screaming 18 months old.  My husband had more luck but this continued for about a week. Every night, I prayed that he wouldn't wake his brother because nothing says fun like two kids up in the middle of the night screaming and crying.  I had no clue what was going on. Could it be some sort of 18 month sleep regression, ear infection, or was this going to be his new personality?

One day my husband came home and said “I was going to buy Hyland’s Teething Tabs for Emmett but I forgot”.  It was like a light bulb went off.  Why hadn’t I thought about his teeth?!  When he was young, I would have almost instantly blamed teething but I think because he has almost a full set of chompers, I dismissed it.  I took a look into his mouth and the gums around his cuspids were fairly swollen.  I was going to poke around but I was worried it may result in a finger being sacrificed.

The first night we gave him two teething tabs before bed, they worked like a charm.  He slept quietly.  There was no thrashing, arching, screaming, restlessness, banging on crib rails…just peace. It was wonderful, and I quickly remembered why I fell in love with this product. I'm not the only Greenola Girl who loves them, Michelle also swears by them!
