At first we noticed that his gum was a bit swollen, and his biting behavior was getting worse. We got 2 teethers for him, but he prefer his Daddy's hand!
Last week, I noticed there's a hole on his gum! I was shocked at first as it looked like an ulcer. I then called my mom to confirm the symptom of teething and she told me it was his tooth.
This morning, I checked on his little tooth again and I saw the white cap of his little tooth!! I was so curious and I touched it. Ouch! It was sharp oooo....! I tried to take the picture of Samuel's first tooth, but he was not so cooperative and didn't want to open his mouth... *sad*
I read about baby teeting on the web, and the sequence are as follow (click to maximize for better view):
Some of the symptoms that the baby is teeting:
a) Drooling
b) Gum swelling
c) Irritability or fussiness
d) Biting behavior
e) Refusing food
f) Sleep problems
Samuel has all the mentioned symptoms! However, different babies may have different symptoms. Some babies even suffer from fever, diarrhea or even runny nose.
I hope Samuel will get good and healthy teeth!
