As I mentioned in my last post, this young lady of mine is a biter. I’m not saying ouch just for me though, since I seem to be her favorite thing to bite. I’m also saying out for her. I think the reason she bites so much is because her mouth hurts from teething. She just made 8 months and has had 4 teeth for some time now. If I’m not mistaken, her 5 AND 6 tooth will probably come through within a month’s time.
With her, her teeth seem to come in pairs with two breaking through her gums within days of each other. I once heard that some pediatricians were saying that there’s no such thing as “teething.” That babies don’t actually get unusually fussy or run a temperature while teething. I’m sorry, but SOMETHING is happening just before their teeth come through because my most recent experience involved both increased fussiness AND an elevated temperature. So if that’s not really from “teething” than what’s it from?
