To wish she would shit or get off the pot

[tinymeteor]

Metaphorically speaking, that is.

DD2 (4 months) is teething like a maniac. Gnawing, cranky, exploding nappies etc. She actually growled and bit me earlier. Drooling like a bloodhound, biting like a piranha, sleeping like, well, a baby. A baby who is really shit at sleeping.

It's been going on for weeks and still no fecking tooth. It's teething, I bloody know it's teething, but still she refuses to prove me right. If she doesn't pop a full set of incisors by the morning I'm giving her away to the next person who knocks on the door. Congrats, Ocado man, it's a girl. Best of luck.

Teething is kicking our collective arse at the moment. DD is 21 months old and is currently working on her incisors. All 4 of them. At once. She is miserable the poor little mite. They are being so slow, I can see them moving down her gums so they are definitely there. She's still got her back molars to go as well. Joy.

I'm not sure it gets any better when they are a teenager with new braces because the level of whinging is just the same but with more sighing, door slamming and huffing. Less outright screaming and dribbling. Well, we've had screaming but it's more the 'I had half a calpol melt 3 days ago and it didn't work, it's still hurting' type

I used to boil water, soak baby wash cloths in it and then roll and freeze them and let my sons 'chew' on them. Something about the texture and the coldness really seemed to work.

Just wanted to come and give some more support for anbesol! Miracle stuff.
