Teething Woes at Night

Happy Baby, Jack Add comments

The past few nights have been really difficult. Poor Jack’s been crying terribly from the pain in the gums from his left tooth emerging. While awake he’ll be pretty cheery and even bite his blankie to ease the pain, but at night it finds no solace and cries often for comfort.

Although tired, I mean, really frankly, very exhausted, I soothed him, reminding myself he’s in pain and I can help ease his agony by nursing. The teething gel helped as well and now I carry it everywhere. Until that tooth emerges fully, I reckon nights will be tough.

This morning he was delightful, crawling all over me and patting my face to wake me up. I got up to a happy baby who hugged and cooed at me. For a moment, he stopped, a serious look on his face and made a few urgh sounds, which means he is pooing. When it was over, he was all smiles again.
