Winston behaved horribly this past week. He was irritable, cranky and had problems sleeping. His erratic and grumpy sleep cycles was definitely the result of teething. We tried having him chew on green onions just like last time but this time he decided that he didn't like the taste so we had to give him Hyland's Teething Tablets and we even broke down and gave him Tylenol twice.
Winston never really cared for regular teethers or any cold/ice combo choosing instead to chew on blankets, my shoulder and yes, even my areola. He's been using his tiny bottom snaggleteeth to relieve the pain on his upper gums while he breastfeeds. It's slightly painful but much better than having to deal with a cranky baby.
The knobby, little bulges have been swelling under his gums for the past few days and finally today we noticed one big white spot where his top tooth will come out.
