It has been over a week that I can't sleep well. I have been so worried about KZ. He keeps on crying and he losses his appetite. I have been wondering what would be the problem because he seems to be ok. I asked Anne of Mary Ann's Musing about it because I suspect he must be on his teething stage.
I made some thorough readings and I found out that babies begin teething at around six months. KZ is now 7 months! So anyway, babies show signs of teething weeks and even months before teeth actually appear. The common signs include irritability, drooling, chafed lips, frequent chewing of toys or fingers, swollen gums, mild fever, ear pulling and loss of appetite.
PATTERNS. Baby teeth usually appear in pairs, with the lower front incisors usually appearing first. The other six incisors (four on top and two more on the bottom) usually appear between six and twelve months. Whew! I have to expect more sleepless night.
TIMING. Pairs of baby teeth, or sometimes four at a time, usually appear every four months or so. Girls usually get their teeth before boys. Lower teeth usually appear before upper teeth, with the uppers following shortly after the lower ones. Some tendencies to cut teeth earlier or later appear to be genetic.
So, this morning I tried checking his gums. I noticed two white teeths forming. Ready to come out soon. Now I understand why he need some more lovin' !!!
Ate Anne gave me xylogel as an oral gel for teething! This will help to lessen the pain she said.Thanks Ate Anne :-)

Your welcome girl, it helps Faith though her pedia said if she stop na daw drooling, you stop it na rin girl teether nga din pala makakatulong din.
Ate Anne, I forgot to buy kanina.Sigh! Another tiring night na pod. Ate, pahid na sa gums? hehehe
Manol jud ko dah!
THere's a great product out there that uses natural ingredients to help your baby through this process. There's one called "camilia" here's a link: http://www.evitamins.com/product.asp?pid=3335 That works VERY well, and helps them sleep, too. I used it on my littlest (he's 3 now) and it was GREAT! stopped the crankiness within 15 minutes. Everyone needs to know about it!
Hi Tammy it sounds like your little one will be ready to start chewing and solid soon. Then maybe you can get your well deserved sleep. Have a great one.
Laura, Thanks! I have seen the link. I will try to check we have it here in the Philippines.
Thanks for dropping by, sure it works well. We have tried US medicines. Very effective :-)
Hi Bill. I started giving him soft biscuits :)) hope it was OK. We gave him cereals :-)

kanang teether kanang paak paakon lang sa bata kay maduot man na sa iyang gum yata mao nang ma relieve ang iyang pain, daghan na siya sa mall girl sa baby section.
Tammy, I see you've had lots of advice, but if he doesnt want to eat, give him cold yoghurt, it soothes the gums and it is a natural product. my son is now just over two years, so we know what you are going through. everything of the best, and before you know it, it is over, then the running around starts....
Awww poor baby! I like the last advixe girl - ako wala pa ako ma advice coz as you know I am still a Momma Wannabe.
Hope he eats na soon! Have a good weekend girl!
