Ah the teething fun-ness hey?!Even though all the rusk boxes say that their teeth should come in a certain pattern, they (the teeth) simply pop out when they absolutely feel like it! My friend's little one got her first tooth at 12weeks!!!! Eeek!! The other thing too that I found slightly frustrating with DD#1 is that although I could see the tooth clear as day beneath the gums, it took weeks for a particular tooth to pop through...one of her molars actually cut through and then receded and then pushed through some more, needless to say we had an unhappy camper for a while there!! Another tooth that hadn't shown signs of cutting through actually cut through and came through completely whilst we were waiting for the molar to make up it's mind!!
...and I had to deal with the grumps in the mean time
I have heard also that teeth can move beneath the gums without coming through for a while causing the poor little one teething discomfort with no pearly white to show for it!
Fun huh?!
We used a teething syrup that the Women's and Children's hospital provides as we were told that there is a certain ingredient in bonjela that is kinda like aspirin which we were told isn't the greatest for little people.......I think the hossy concoction was a more natural one?? Anyways, it worked a treat - just dipped a cotton tip in and then rubbed it on DD's gums......although she was a sausage as she apparently liked the taste so much she would try to suck the cotton tip!!
Well, Port Adelaide Football Team are completely useless!DH even helped me out so I could plonk myself in front of the TV to watch the grand final - this is the first year I have really gotten into it and Port had to go and embarrass themselves completely!!! Nuggets! Really hard to sit for five when you have munchkins to feed and change and look after - even with DH helping out!
On a happier note.....DD#2 is ticklish!!Under the chin!! Oh the chuckles were adorable...........then I gave her hiccups
oops!
