It’s been a tough week for our baby. (Actually, it was an unpleasant week for Evan and me either, as we both got sick, but that’s another story). Anyway, the baby has been in a bad mood this past week as a new tooth is coming in. I think it’s gonna be at the back bottom this time. Seeing him in the middle of teething process is really a bittersweet experience. We’re happy to know that he’s facing another great milestone, but at the same time we too have to witness him struggling with all discomfort and misery that come with teething.

His first teething process began when he was barely 5 months and took weeks before the two front bottom teeth finally cutting in. Since then, teeth keep on coming from time to time. He has several teeth already now with two more about to poke through. The usual signs we see during his teething include drooling, cheek rubbing, ears pulling and gloomy mood.

The gloomy teething days

Somehow the symptoms became worse with the current one. Along with the usual, this time he also lost his appetite (hence he lost some weight too), got cranky and restless. He got loose stools on Monday so we took him to the doctor the next day, but the doctor said it was nothing serious, just a common sign.

Got cranky and lost appetite

Though he’s much better now, no loose stools and starts to eat more, he still in cranky mood. Let’s hope the tooth will show up soon to end his misery. It’s really a bittersweet milestone.

Thanks for stopping by everyone. Enjoy your Sunday!
