Teething

Teething sucks. Big time. My usually mild tempered very relaxed chill baby has been taken over lately by a crying until he can't breathe (barely) waking up 2 times a night (used to sleep straight through) poor little exhausted monkey. Which, of course, makes mama completely exhausted with him. The only thing that we found helps him when he's really in pain is baby orajel. No teethers (especially not cold ones). He'll chew on them for a very short while but prefers to chew on fingers. Yours or his. And faces. He goes for my chin and nose. Lol

I can imagine how he's feeling. Must be awful. The more I read about it the more discouraged I get because this could last for weeks until the teeth cut through and then start back up when the next set begin. I hope it gets better. For both of our sakes. I don't think he's woken up this much since he was first born. I'm really starting to get run down :(




Last night we tried more rice cereal because it hurts him to nurse sometimes. He must not have been that hungry. Most of it was spat back out. Lol!






I'll try again tonight. Aye, my poor baby :_-(
