Well, just when I thought I got the hang of 'this mothering thing,' my baby turned on me. Seriously. He went from an angelic child who only cried when he needed something and nearly slept through the night to a child who has been crying nearly non-stop for the past 2 days. The culprit - I think he's teething. He's really young to be teething...he's only 3 months, but I can see 4 tooth buds, and one looks like it's breaking through. What should I give him? Any natural remedies? I'm uncomfortable with the idea of using infants' Motrin everyday. I'm having one of those days as a mother where I feel like crawling into a corner and inserting earplugs. He's in so much pain and I just want to comfort him, but the shrieking noise can really drive one crazy. Help!

Several women I know have recommended Hyland's teething tablets, an all-natural remedy I just purchased for $3.19 on Vitacost.com
Here's the link:

I'll report back on how they're working once they arrive.
