When Dylan started to gnaw and gum down almost everything and anything that he could get into his mouth - you name it, chances are he has done it, which includes his hands, his feet, toys, towels, pillows, blankets, milk teat etc - we know that he will soon enter yet another of his developmental milestones - teething. But since last month, he has become more irritable, grouchy and cranky. He has been on milk strikes - pushing the milk bottle away and putting up a big fight when we tried to feed him. He also has problem sleeping some nights, tossing and turning all over the bed.
Finally, we saw one little white fella peeks out from his bottom gum and another followed quite soon later. Now he has two little bottom toothlings and he likes to explore them using his tongue. But the poor little boy has also developed cold symptoms - coughing and runny nose. I found out that all these can be related to teething. Tessa breezed through the teething process and before we knew it, she has had her full set of baby teeth. Dylan seems to have it harder. I can only hope that it will get better and easier for him.
