Teething

 Baby teething, it is a hard phase for the baby and caregiver or mother. What can you do to keep the baby happy?

A baby is less inclined to drink a lot in this stage because their gums hurt. The teeth take about 2 weeks to break through the gums. This is when babies can get very difficult. A good idea is to push the baby around in a stroller inside. If you have a bigger house, this is possible. Move the furniture and do some laps around your home with your baby. It will help them calm down, or sleep if they need to, and you get some exercise yay.... It is generally too hot in the summer to exercise outside, so go for walks inside. 🙂

Teething babies need more cuddles. Try to hold them more often throughout the day. Take a few breaks each day from chores and just sit with your baby on the bed. Turn the TV off and just focus on them. Have more relaxed bonding time with them. 

When you eat, put their stroller next to you and talk to them. Then they get to see what those painful teeth will be used for eventually. 😀

Go outside in the evenings and just sit with the baby. Everyone needs to get fresh air to feel more relaxed.

This too shall pass. Once the teeth get through the gums, the baby will be happy again. Praise God. ☺
