My 13 month old is going through another bout of teething. She had 2 come in around 6 months, 6 more between 8 and 9 months, and now at least 4 more coming in. She's handled them fairly well so far, still sleeping good (very grateful for that). I just feel so much sympathy for her right now, and I'd like to do what I can to help ease the pain.

She doesn't like me trying to massage her gums, and only wants herself to brush her teeth too. With teething toys and cold cloths she will be interested for maybe a minute before throwing it away, I think cause it's painful. The only thing reliable is nursing, but I can't do that all the time for her. She spends so much time grumpy and rubbing her hands on her head, even with ibuprofen and acetaminophen (which is also something she is reluctant to take).

I'm considering warm cloths or massaging her neck/jaw area while she's napping or sleeping since she doesn't want anything while awake. I'd also like to hear what kinds of things may have helped for anyone.

I'm trying to gauge whether I'm gonna need to size up soon on some diapers, or if I can wait it out a little longer and be fine. It's a bit tough to figure out because my baby is 1 yr now, about 25 lbs, and wears 3T bottoms (2T if they're wide, and 2T shirts are fine). She started walking almost 2 months ago, and is just barely fitting the current diapers we use. They're LPO double gusset pockets (10-35lb size), we also use babilibou (which are also 10-35lbs but fit a little bigger than LPO).

I have really enjoyed them, but I can tell they're tighter around the thigh/hip area. Kinda like it needs a higher rise than the diaper allows.. so I feel stuck because I don't know how long she'll be using diapers in the bigger size if she ends up slimming out and fitting back into the ones we currently have?

If anyone recalls how the fit of the diaper changed/and when after they started walking I would love to hear about it. Or even about if you added bigger size diapers and were able to use both at the same time? Lol. Thanks in advance
