Gracie Ruth had a few days when she wasn't feeling well. She would walk around the house with Ducky in her mouth making the most pitiful whines. I found some good teething toys at Petsmart that I could put in the frig to get cold, also she liked to chew on a damp washcloth that I put in the frig to get cold. I even found her playing with a couple of her molars after they had fallen out.  But what can I expect from such a tomboy as this girl is.
So don't fret, and especially don't beat yourself up. It's all normal, and you are a good momma for worrying over her.
