New parents, you will recognize the subject of which I speak. The market is saturated with all manner of baby equipment. While we have striven to not let our house be overtaken with brightly colored plastic crap, it still sneaks in, then proliferates under the cover of darkness. We awaken with baby stuff everywhere.
Yet none of this stuff prepared us for the horror of teething. No frozen washclothes, chilled pacifiers, or bottles of Baby Tylenol could abate the regularity of Emerson awaking throughout the night to howl at us. Night after night.
So here is the gauntlet I throw down to medical manufacturers--you have two options. Either design a soundproof, non-toxic acrylic shell into which we can place our beloved infants (they must not be able to injure themselves in these confines); or produce Baby Ambien. I'm voting for the latter.
Just think about it. You don't have to worry about the baby taking Ambien, then driving to the store or operating a forklift later. Just a good, sound night's sleep.

Yes, and the teething goes on for YEARS. Lily got 8 teeth at once, but it took a solid two months for them to all fully emerge. Lots of sleepless nights! Good luck!
While I understand the sentiment, I think you may have a screw loose. ;)
