I was really hoping our kid wouldn't be the kind that is teething 3 months before a tooth finally shows, but it appears she is. As recently as a few days ago she has had off and on spurts of full-on teething. This last one was so bad that I was convinced that tooth was going to pop through in a couple days. I could even feel the swollen bump.
The poor girl has been:
- Pooping like crazy. She would go from once every 3 days to 3 or 4 times a day. It was like having a newborn again!
- Drooling like nuts and getting bad drool rashes as a result. The hubs and I do everything we can to keep her chin dry, but it's next to impossible at the rate she produces new spit ammo.
- Suffering extreme fussiness that is the worst when she's put down to sleep. There were a few times that the only way she'd sleep was on me or with my snuggled next to her. She was back in our bed for a few nights. We HAVE found that the Hylands Teething Tablets are awesome and help her a lot.
- Increasing her comfort nursing.
- Gnawing on anything and everything. She seems to prefer the wood teethers and the refrigerated and liquid-filled rings.
Where she napped. (I obviously didn't mind!)
