Cooper has his first little tooth! It cut through last Friday, at 6 1/2 months. No wonder poor little bubba was so miserable before New Years... sick and with a sore mouth!
On the one hand, I'm quite excited about his tooth, on the other hand, a bit apprehensive. It now can hurt a bit when he chews my finger, and I'm worried about what else he might bite! Although he has never taken a bottle, just this week, we've discovered that he likes drinking water from a sippy cup. Wohoo! I'm thinking that it'll only take one bite and he'll be getting used to the taste of formula in his sippy cup, lol.
I'm not sure if it's the teething, but Cooper seems to be regressing back to his little baby clinginess. Wants to be held, cuddled, touched all the time. Wants to be on the boob all the time. Refuses a dummy. Back in our bed most of the night as he doesn't sleep long on his own. After just a fifteen min sleep in his bed the other night, I brought him back into bed with me... he lay there holding my hand as he slept. Aaawww, so cute! But also just a little annoying. I want my bed space back! Hope his little mouth stops hurting soon.
Probably a good thing for you they don't all come through at once. Poor little bub just feels poorly and wants to snuggle with mummy.
ReplyDeleteYeah, snuggles are important!!
DeleteSome people swear by amber teething necklaces. I think I'm going to try it this time.
ReplyDeleteI was also adamant I would stop BFing if I got bitten, but meh, seemed like too much work. Just put your finger in his mouth and unlatch him. Or hold his nose. He'll learn super fast.
And teething causes EVEYTHING - runny nappies, fever, grumps, restless nights, eveything (may or may not be scientific fact) ;)
Yep, I've heard teething be blamed for everything, and done a bit of it myself, lol!
DeleteHe's probably having a wonder week
ReplyDeleteOh yes,the one at 26 weeks is distance. It would be a rather disturbing one for him to realise you can walk away from him. I've got the book if you want to have a read
Yeah, I've heard they go through that around 6 months. He is definitely feeling that! He also has the pink cheeks, chomping hard on stuff, etc, so I wouldn't be surprised if it is a combination of teething too.
