Teething nightmare





Dear Aidan,

You have officially started teething. You are drooling like crazy and today I think it was really hurting you because you have been crying havoc since 8:00pm. You also keep putting your fingers in your mouth and biting on it. I'm worried that you may break your skin on your fingers. I have started chilling your teething toys in the fridge to soothe your gums. It's been helping a little. Since you are drooling so much the skin around your mouth has started turning red again. Oh boy.
Tomorrow I will be taking you to your doctor to ask her about your eczema. Right now I am still applying hydrocortisone cream on your bad areas and vaseline to the rest of your skin. I want to weed you out of the hydrocortisone as soon as possible because it is a steroid. However, I'm going to consult with your doctor before I do that. Maybe she'll have better suggestions for me.
