My 9 month old son has been teething in agony for the last week. He's got his bottom two, then his upper canines (looked like a vampire!) and now his front-top teeth are coming in. This time around however, seems so much more difficult. He's been drooling, feverish, cranky, and now he has rosacea. During this ordeal, I've had barely any sleep and worst yet, trying to breast feed him is now a practice in fear and anxiety...for me. He will be sucking away contently and out of the blue, SNAP! Down come all the teeth! Imagine putting the most sensitive part of your body into, let's say, a stapler. Or perhaps under a rocking chair. Or a car door. The problem is, most of the time it's just fine. When it does happen, he not only bites but he hangs on and pulls his head back.
Time to start the bottle.
Aiya!! That does not sound comfortable at all!
