It's that inevitable time for every parent dealing with their baby. Yes, that crucially exciting but painfully tiring and frustrating time - teething.
Well, Ruqaiya has been "teething" for a while now. Her gums have been quite itchy since she was 4 months old and she just has to chomp down on anything that she can get her hands on. I've even seen her try biting the edge of the coffee table and the arm of chairs. But still, no teeth.
My hairbrush has become her favorite chew toy now.
Lately, however, it's been getting worse. Sometimes she just cries randomly and for a long time. All I can do at times is hold her while she wails her little lungs out for 15 minutes or so. Sometimes I can get her to swallow a little pain reliever, which I guess helps since she'll stop crying after a while. Sometimes she'll just end up exhausting herself from crying and just go to sleep. Alas! I felt a little prick on her gums, like the corner of an incisor. I even looked into her mouth and saw a little line/cut where it looks like a tooth is going to come out. Huzzah, at least the pain/itchiness/crabbiness is giving some progress.
I've read the first and last tooth is to the worse. Gosh, I don't know how I'm going to survive when her molars come out.
