Another day...another new experience. Umair is 3 month and 3 weeks, almost 4 months. These are what he experience, but mommy still playing guessing game...
These week Umair has started to 'speak' while biting his lower lips, and in a such complaining manners, and screaming to the top of his breaths, which mommy found quite scary and worrying... Mommy did some researches and found out others who experience the same situation. Some said their baby were going through a growth spurt phases, some claimed theirs just having an unexplained colic phases, and some agreed that their baby is teething.

Is Umair teething? Mommy googles some websites, and found a few signs and symptoms of teething in babies. Most paedetricians agree that 3 month or 4 month baby teething is not something that's weird. Teething is differs in each baby. Some may start as early as newly born, and some may start later, perhaps 9 or 15 month old.
To compare with the symptoms given by the paeds online, some of them are really match with what happens to Umair lately.
Drooling and Biting. Yup, Umair drools heavier than before, often wet his chin after some very serious 'biting' of his own fingers, and always trying to push his knuckles inside his small mouth. When Umair gnawing Mommy's shoulder, usually mommy have to change cloth. Umair's 'watery gum' often attack Mommy's cloth and makes it less nicer to wear around. Daddy has bought him a nice decent teether, suitable for 0-6 month, and put it in the fridge. But when Mommy put it on his gum, he'll refuse, and crying, upon the chillness that rubs his cheeks. Then Mommy did persuaded Daddy to buy another smaller teether, soft with gel inside, and we try give it to Umair, when Umair only reponse was refusal.
Irritability. Yup, Umair is clearly irritated with something, but not in every 24-hours a day. When Umair is relax, he can squeals, and he can babbles a lot, and when he's hungry, (Umair prefers breastfeed than expressed breast milk in bottle), mommy will nurse him until Umairs full. There are times when he's very happy and playful, but often lately he cries and cries and screams. The only things that soothes him is to nurse. But always he falls asleep after a few minutes slow nursing. Mommy guess he may be thinking when the gum is in pain it's better to sleep, and he is not crying because of hunger.
Clinginess. Yup, another bull's eyes for this. Lately Umair demands to be on Mommy's chest, Daddy's arms. He'll give a warning of ''don't leave me alone or I'll scream'' look when Mommy put him on bed for a while to ease Mommy's arms and shoulder (he's already 6kg!). Umair even want Mommy to be his bed when he's napping, if Mommy tried to put him down he'll scream, as if he was being alone. The sight of Mommy nearby is not good enough for Umair...
