Dr Peach & Ms Hyde
Hoo-boy.... we've been so lucky with the kids' dispositions that it was a shock when Peach had her first REAL meltdown. She was absolutely inconsolable. My guess is that it's a few new teeth coming in, but who knows. She was quite the terror. However, we gave her a bath with some lavender bubble bath, and she chilled enough to go to bed. Sweet dreams, Peach.... please!
Teething can be a real bear. That's when we experienced Audrey's first real meltdown. Let Sophia chew on ice chips. Also, the Hyland's homeopathic Teething Tablets are a God-send.

We also dampened washclothes (baby ones) and froze those for her to suck on, she loved that. And then of course the frozen teethers were saviors. Also if you can make frozen popcycles out of water that feels good on her teeth. Good luck! That's the times (besides GAS) that Lucy melts down too.....
Poor baby.
