It's so sad. So hard. See if he'll suck on ice pops for hydration.

My one year old just got over it. It was a miserable few days! I found giving Tylenol and Motrin helped a lot.

My 2 year old twins just had this. It was absolutely awful. But by day 3/4 it started to ease bh.. they kept crying none stop, didn’t sleep well, weren’t eating at all. Just miserable. Was so happy to see them smiling and dancing again when they felt better

Can anyone do this or do you need to go to someone specific?

Uch, it's the worst, so so hard!! Are you giving Tylenol and Motrin, alternating? It was the only thing that helped my baby, she had it so bad:(

TFH saved my sanity. Any local health food store sells it. Ratio in Monsey introduced it to me.

When my daughter had it, the only thing she ate was watermelon.

Then it's not pasteurized. How is that safe?

Thanks everyone. It's been a hard few days. He's normally so good and now he doesn't stop crying, nothing I do makes him happy.
I do give him Motrin and Tylenol but it only helps so much. It reduces his fever but I'm not sure if it takes away the discomfort in his mouth
He refuses to eat anything, he'll take his bottle out of starvation only. Ice diescsooth it a bit but it's cold and he gets annoyed
I'm a bit experienced with goats milk, does it need to be straight from the udder when it's unpasteurized or can I cook it up first?
I'll try to ask about TFH, hopefully it'll give him some releif
He's been up now for hours kvetching, *sigh*

Goat milk straight from the udder. Be prepared that you may need to do it twice.
