The teething monster

Athéna has her first tooth really early at 3 months. Then, we weren't aware that she was teething (because it was too early!) Even with the excessive drooling, fussiness, wakes up at nights... It was during our monthly trip to pd then she told us. Oh and the tooth was already cutting through by then. I was telling husband that we didn't even had much time to enjoy her toothless grin since she only starts to smile at about the same time.

Ever since, BB seems to be teething every single month. Any unknown nights wake ups or fussiness, we will blame teething and gave paracetamol. And it's crazy how she is teething every single month that we had to ask pd whether we are giving too much paracetamol.

Finally by 9months, BB has 8 teeth, 4 top and 4 bottom. Added with her full head of hair, I think she looks older than she should be. We just went to our monthly pd trip and BB has swelling lower gums on both sides - means she is teething her molars!!! I seriously don't know what is the advantage of having teeth so early except maybe can chew faster?? At least explains the recent night wakings, so is back to paracetamol again..



Hopefully no early tooth decay!
