Whenever DN has a cranky night (i.e. wakes up @ 12am, 3am & 5am) PF and I will mumble to ourselves and each other, "Must be teething!!!" In the morning, I will check his gums. Judging from the "passion" he puts into his crying, I expect to see that two teeth the size of chiclets have exploded from his gums overnight. Chiclet-sized teeth? MUST be painful. What else can explain all that crying???
So, DN's 4th month passed, then the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th, and he's still waking up at night and there are no teeth to blame it on. So we gave up using the teething excuse.
Until last week!
At 8.5 months, DN is finally teething. :) And still waking up twice at night. :(
Bought DN some organic teether biscuits. We're not organic people (haha!) but this was the only one I could find that didn't have cow's milk.

I foolishly gave DN his first teether biscuit on the way to his grandma's house one morning. If you're asking, "What's wrong with that?", then you don't have a baby, car seat or an affinity for cleanliness. I have all three, but apparently lack the most important thing - common sense!

In 2 minutes, the biscuit became a hard and pasty STICK-THING.

Check out the pasty, soggy, remnants-of-biscuit on his fingers, nose, t-shirt and car seat straps!

Ewwwww...
Never in the car seat again, NEVER.
