It may sound wacky but I think that is the case. I had posted the other day that his sleep patterns that have been consistant since birth went completely wonky as of 2 weeks ago. He had started to sleep a 5 hour strech most nights and nap well during the day. Now his naps are short and he's back to the 2 hour night waking intervals...now with ear-swipeing and hard kicking. Very fretful waking behavior. Well, being a paranoid 1st time mom I took him to the dr. today...dork, I know. I thought he may have an ear ache or something. I asked her if he could be teething and she said "nope too young" and did even check his mouth. I should have thought twice to just take her word for it since she is the one who on our 1 week check up she told me I should start pumping and introduce the bottle. I thought better of that one. Anyway, we got home and he's sitting in my lap and he's holding onto my hand. He then LUNGES for my knuckle and starts gnawing away at it...not sucking but gnawing....HARD. I gave him a teething ring I was saving for later of course and he held it with his own 2 hands (that was a first
) and went to town on it...all the while drool flowing from his lips like what happens to me when I see Johnny Depp
Oh, I forgot to add that he is almost 18 pounds and 26 inches. He was born 2 weeks late, not sure if that puts him 2 weeks ahead developmentally with teeth and what not.
I don't know cause I'm a total amateur at this mom buisiness but is it so?
Thanks for your opinion...if you have one
