Teething, teething, teething! Ashton started teething when he was about 3 1/2 months old, but he didn't get his first tooth until November 19th when he was 6 1/2 months old. By Thanksgiving Ashton had his first tooth and his second one was coming in as well. Being a new mom I assumed that within his first month of teething he would have gotten his first tooth, but boy oh boy was I wrong! For three months my child drooled like a Saint Bernard.....LoL. Slob was everywhere and he chewed on everything including our brand new couch. Oh yes, let us not forget about those fevers. It seemed as though Ashton had a fever everyday and several times a day at that. We had to find a way to help our little boy out and here are some of the things we used to sooth those itchy hot gums.....teething rings that we could freeze, teething rings with ridges, and when his first tooth came in we made Popsicles with his baby juice. We were very lucky because we heard other parents say their babies actually had diarrhea. Ashton still only has two teeth, but the excessive drooling has stopped and is now being replaced with licking....LoL. We have a long way to go before he has a full set of teeth, but hopefully it's smooth sailing.....fingers crossed.
Xoxo,
Lauren
