Hello to all amazing moms and dads in this community! Wishing you all a good health and happiness with your family.
Today marks a special milestone for my 7 month old baby, his very first taste of fruits during his teething stage! yeeaay! He already has two teeth on the bottom and two on top, with two more coming out on the upper gums. He started teething at 6 months, and it fills me with joy to see him smiling with his tiny little teeth showing.
I introduced orange first, followed by rambutan. Since he has been teething, he tends to bite my hands and even while breastfeeding. That’s one of the reasons I let him try orange, hoping it could help ease the discomfort. I believe his constant biting is mainly because his tiny teeth are starting to come out.
Together with his sister Sophia, they enjoy eating fruits. As a mom, it makes me happy to see them not only eating but also enjoying the process, like when I peel the fruits for them. I know that some kids aren’t very fond of fruits, and parents often have to use tricks or creative ways just to make them to eat. But I’m grateful that my kids willingly eat and enjoy fruits without any fuss.
He is fond in biting anything he can hold. Sometimes when he hold something in his hands like clothes or toys he directly put it into his mouth. This action is already alarming that's why I never left him alone. Whenever I'm going to kitchen or comfort room, I carry him instead to make me feel at ease.
After eating fruits, my 2 babies are asleep, I place pillows underneath or around them because they will tends to flip over, and there’s a chance they might fall off the bed. To keep them safe, I always make sure to put pillows or a blanket as support before leaving them in bed.
The teething stage is one of the most challenging milestones for babies. During this time, they may experience symptoms like loose bowel movements, high fever, cough, and colds. As mothers, we need to be prepared and provide extra care and comfort to our children. Some babies may cry continuously due to the discomfort they feel, so patience and understanding are essential during this phase of motherhood.
Motherhood can be challenging, especially when your children are going through certain stages. But being there for them, caring for them, and guiding them through these milestones is incredibly fulfilling. It gives purpose and meaning to a mother’s life. They may not fully understand your sacrifices right now, but with consistent love, guidance, and patience, they will grow to listen, learn, and follow your teachings. Truly, nothing compares to the sacrifices, care, and love of a mother.
