Twilli has her first tooth! She started having symptoms of teething back at Thanksgiving. I knew it can sometimes be many months before they finally came to the surface. So we got some Hyland’s Hylands Homeopathic Teething Tablets to help soothe the discomfort. They work quite well, actually! And then we waited out the storm.A couple of weeks ago it became apparent that she was going through some new development or growth spurt. It seems that 6 months is a major developmental milestone. I had a feeling that she would get her first tooth (or teeth, as many babies do) very soon. Sure enough, on February 19th we noticed a little “hole” in her lower gums, where the tooth would be emerging. However, nothing much was visible. Then the next day, the sharp, clear edge was very easy to spot with a finger. It was a bit more challenging to see since the “blade” is clear. But today, we can see about 1 millimeter of pearly white sticking up out of the gums! For the record, we marked the date February 20, 2008 as the date of Twilli’s First Tooth.Twilli is very proud of her new tooth! I think there are several more on the way soon. Now if we can just keep her from biting Mommy when she nurses! Eeeeeek!When did your child get his or her first tooth? Please LEAVE A COMMENT about your teething experience.
