Hey hun, tough isn't it?
Poor little chicken having all those teeth already!
Sadly I'm up to my second screamer. Some babes just cry - a lot. My two both started the separation anxiety thing from birth lol. You should see the show from Nate if I have to go to the loo! He won't even sit with his father for any length of time.
Also 6months is kind of an unsettled phase they seem to go through. They are becoming more aware of the world and themselves in it.
IRT the formula thing. It's just a guide babe. Don't stress. SOme babies don't eat anywhere near what it says, some eat way more.
Teething always puts DD off her food, so that could explain the lower feed requirements at the moment. Did the GP check her over for ear infections or other illness?
I remember those top teeth. Yuck, yuck, yuck! The good news is....it will pass. I just repeat that to myself a hundred times a day during teething phases.
Separation anxiety started at around 7 months for DD. It was really hard at first. I actually found playing peek-a-boo and teaching her how to wave 'bye-bye' to things really helped her understand.
its a massive thing our babies do. They are growing into little people. Some find that a lot harder than others.
Do you remember being a teenager and getting growing pains? If so, try to imagine what it's like to not understand what that is or why you're aching and irritable. And babies must feel those pains constantly during some growth spurts.
If you don't remember - they are awful. They feel like deep itches and make you ache and very grumpy. Teething and a growth spurt together can be hell on a little person!
Hang in there - and like others have said - this will pass. Sometimes they've just got to cry to get the emotions out...
Hope it passes soon for you!
Oh! And I second the teething necklace - they rock!!
