She has 4 teeth visible. 2 upper central and 2 lower central and she's showing symptoms of teething again!
1. Feeding less frequently and amount.
2. Crying and whining a lot more when she's normally a happy baby.
3. Fever-like temperature.
4. More drool.
Xylogel: A bubble-gum flavored natural teething oral gel with 5% xylitol.
Xylogel, unfortunately, did not help. It doesn't seem to alleviate any pain or discomfort she might be feeling. The only thing that does help is breastfeeding often, I think it hurts a lot less than sucking on a silicone nipple and I think she's comfort nursing as well. Paracetamol for infants also helped, I give it to her before bed so she can sleep without waking up crying every now and then.
a teether will help :)
ReplyDeleteIt does, thanks! She gnaws on anything. :))
Deletemy baby boy will turn 8 months soon and he still doesn't have a tooth. =(
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, it's not uncommon. Teeth can come out as late as 12months! :)
