Horray! Lily has the start of a tooth. Yesterday, I was doing the feel of her gums that has become a regular part of our day, and I felt the start of a tooth! It is the lower right front. I called Josh right away and made him feel it as soon as he got home!I was honestly starting to think she wasn't going to get any. Most of her friends, who are younger than her, have been getting teeth for a while. While she was chewing and drooling for a while, she didn't seem to be having actual teeth coming through.
The great news is that it doesn't seem to be bothering her much, if at all! I have lots of teething toys, but she doesn't seem to interested in any of them. Yesterday, she had her first teething biscuit. I'm not a hundred percent sold on those things. She did really enjoy it and it kept her quite and occupied for a while we were out to dinner. But, they aren't supposed to be able to get choke size pieces, but Lily did. They are also incredibly messy! I might just stick to hunks of bagel.
The teething biscuits always scared me. Natalie did the same thing, too - she gummed one until she broke off a hunk about the size of a bite of hot dog. We ended up putting a couple of her pacifiers in the freezer and that worked really well.
ReplyDeleteYay Lily!
ReplyDeleteJillian's been working on the same 2 teeth for 3 months. She has 1-2 mm of one and just a white line on the other. They are taking forever! And sometimes she does need Orajel. Glad to hear Lily's not bothered.
