Teething is a bitch
This is a full blown rant about teething be warned!
So does anyone remember that thing called sleep? Wasn’t it amazing right? Well forget it baby J wakes up all through the night screaming until he gets some Calpol because we think his top teeth are coming through. This is any day of the week whether the hubby works the next day or I do we are both awake in the night dealing with J.
So no surprise that I am constantly tired no scrap that absolutely knackered and because J doesn’t nap as much as he used to we don’t get to catch up on any sleep we missed. I mostly feel like a walking zombie people must think I am stupid because I get asked things at work and it goes in one ear and out the other because my brain is too foggy to process it.
I do however praise the hell out of calpol one of the best inventions in the world. After J has calpol the screaming stops and I might be able to get a couple of hours sleep again hooray! but it doesn’t last long because a couple hours later we are back to stage 1 tired mum and screaming baby and I feel so helpless and then I get so grumpy and frustrated.
I love baby J to bits more than anything. He is mostly a happy lovely baby but sometimes I don’t love love him and then the guilt comes in and screws with my head. I do try to sympathize with him I mean sometimes it seems like he is in really bad pain but it is so hard to sympathize when you are so tired and have a screaming baby there that isn’t comforted by anything. Like I said isn’t teething a bitch?
Rant over..

My Mummy Experiences 
Oh my word, teething can be an absolute nightmare. My eldest used to get the most horrendous nappy rash – I mean full on blisters – at her worst moments of teething. We found the bonjela teething gel to be really good. And a friend of ours suggested freezing slices of fruit – strawberries or kiwi – to act as natural teething aids. It does pass, so hang on in there!

OH my youngest is cutting canines and she is miserable. She doesn’t sleep well but teething makes it so much worse. I just want these teeth to come in and her 2 year molars can wait like a year! Last night I was up with her from 12am till 4am and she was up for the day at 6:30am like she had slept 12 hours…. #itsok
