I love how having a child makes you a detective. A bubba can't tell you things by speaking and they are constantly changing so the sounds they make to indicate something can vary from one month to the next. However there is no detective work necessary for me when Hudson is teething. The signs are still the same this week as when he started when he was 7 weeks old. Many of them are extremely common but the list is:
1)The ongoing stream of drool or as I call it "droolies"
2)A bit of a boogery nose
3)Some brightish yellow poops...which are generally paired with
4)A pretty nasty nappy rash
5)His hands constantly in his mouth..where the hands are located pretty much always sends me right where the next tooth/teeth are coming from
6)And irritability.
Some remedy tips that I do to help him:
1)Giving him really cold quarters of orange to suck on.
2)Keep rotating his teething rings that as I give him one out of the fridge to suck and chew on the other goes in the fridge to get cold.
3)And in nights where he wakes frequently and moans in his sleep with pain, a good old dose of panadol.
Luckily in some respects even though he has recently turned 8 months old, Hudson has 8 fully cut teeth so far and there are another 2 on the way down. So fingers crossed for him that as much as it's painful he is getting it over and done with! ...Mummy can only hope.
