There are times when you have a game plan for a teething baby, and then there are times when that plan completely falls apart.  Yesterday my son was having teething pains and he was hungry as well.  The frozen teething rings were not accepted and for some reason the sassy teething feeder wouldn’t open (could have been frozen shut).  The ibuprofen takes about 20 minutes to kick in and I was grasping at ideas.

Finally, I realized we had some frozen pineapple parts (core, skins, etc..) that I had saved in the freezer to use in a future tropical drink.  I handed my son a slice of the frozen pineapple skin with  and the crying stopped.  He chewed on it for a few minutes and then dropped it.

After the pineapple he took a bottle just fine and eventually the medicine also kicked in.  I just used this method this morning as well to get him to eat his cheerios.

The short:  Don’t go crazy, try pineapple!
