Much of the first few years is spent guessing whether they’re teething or something else.
But in the end, we always come back to teething.
Once the realisation sinks in, you will really miss those newborn days.
No household item is safe.
Teething rings are nice. You are better.
They will draw blood.
For breastfeeding mamas, new teeth + sensitive nips = RIP.
You will reach new levels of tiredness...
And somehow power through it?!
Sometimes the tiredness will result in you trying any remedy. Even an egg sock.
Ditto, trying to get them to eat.
Somehow, despite all this, they still run rings around you.
Teething poos are *explosive* and terrifying.
Add bath-time into the mix and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.
Despite all of this, the teeth take f.o.r.e.v.e.r to come through.
You thought the front teeth were bad, wait ’til you see the molars.
They will lose LITRES in dribble.
