He's got three (possibly four) molars coming in all at one time. He's been a little sensitive these past few days...a little clingy...easily frustrated...and often wakes up screaming at night. He's never been the snugly type, so I don't really know how to comfort him. I would of thought he'd want to snuggle more--as Layla always did--but he'll whine to be held and hugged only to wriggle out of my arms as soon as I pull him close. It's a little frustrating...
Tylenol and Motrin help, but I don't want to drug him night and day.
Any miracle remedies for some major teething?

We just went thru this with Lucy. It is so sad, isn't it!
Have you tried frozen washcloths. My son loved them, Lucy - not so much. Get a washcloth damp, stick in the freezer for awhile, and there you go.
I'm all for drugs though. She had some really bad nights (but was sick on top of it). She had an ear infection, was on an antibiotic for a couple of days and was still pulling at her ears. The doc said that the teething is often more painful then an ear infection. I ended up doing a steady Tylenol/Motrin dose every 3.5 - 4 hours thru out the really bad nights with some Baby Oral Gel every once in a while as well.
Hope he gets some relief soon.
