I Did the Unthinkable Old Wives Tale .

To All the snobby Comments that I might get . “dont judge me, judge your mama”

Ok So I have a toddler who molars are coming in. And If anyone has/had a toddler whose molars came in you know That WE was going through Hell

I mean my baby girl was crying sooo bad, had a fever of 101, she slobbed through her sheets and didnt even want to eat anything but ice chips . Oh and just know bedtime was a horror show. I didnt know what to do ... so i called my grandma. Mamas and grandma’s always know what to do. So grandma told me “rub some whiskey on her gums chile. She feel right better.” To me thats just like a complete taboo. Like “hello cps...”

So here comes bed time and baby girl gave us the blues! You would think someone was trying to kill her . I tried everything! Tylenol, night time teething tablets, and Orajel. Nope . Didnt work. So my husband is like “Babe lets try it, not like she gonna die.” In my mind im thinking .... how much harm could it be.... so i gave me. I know Im a sucker

Hubby used his index finger and rubbed whiskey on her gums. Let. ME. TELL. YOU. That baby slept like a baby !

And we all slept in until 9am . And she didn’t wake up through the night. And the next morning she was less fussy. Im not saying im going to make a habit out of that. But the old wives tale did work. I ended up finding some Dr. teals night lotion and bath soak. Helps put her to sleep without the whiskey😂 and I rubbed motrin on her gums instead.
