i first noticed an 'edge' to Val's nursing late last week but was unable to see anything erupting from his gums. Yesterday for the first time, he allowed me to explore his gums more thoroughly and helpfully led me to the whereabouts of his new pearlies by biting my finger. ah-ha! Two lil teeth, just barely visible, pushing out from the pink lower gum. My poor baby. No wonder he had been waking up up in the nights, and also so restless. Luckily, instead of moaning and whining (which i hear most babies do), the happy camper releases his 'stress' by screeching in delight at an ear-piercing decibel. At least he seems happy, not sad or frustrated. The only way to quieten him is to shove him a chilled teether and he's busy gnawing away. His fave? A wet cotton cloth twisted lengthwise and frozen in the freezer. Nothing beats that icy cold numbness. Store-bought teethers just can't beat this simple apparatus.
Twisted length wise and frozen! That is very specific!!! How did you figure that out?
ReplyDeleteI found your blog lind in my favorites today. I'v heard you delivery last month from amando.
ReplyDeleteCongratulation! very cute, look so strong. I hope see you n your baby soon in singapore....
haha dot, i've even managed to wet the cloth, twist it into a thin strand, and then into a round shape so when it freezes it becomes a solid ring that slowly melts out of shape. not long enough to make into a pretzel-shaped teether tho!
