Oh no...

I think my two month old son may be starting to teethe. Except for the terrible two's, this is the bane of any new parents' existence.

He has been drooling a whole lot lately, which is very uncommon. He's also been spitting up a lot. Usually he doesn't spit up, ever, and when he does it's just a tiny little bit. But for the past week or so, it's been a few times a day, and quite a bit of it.

When I was at my favourite baby boutique the other day, my mother pointed out a hazelwood necklace, which is supposed to breakdown the enzymes that cause all the symptoms of teething (drooling, fussiness, and the pain to some extent). And they are cute, too.

Well, we bought one for H., and within about 12 hours his drooling was getting better (just the normal, non-teething baby drool). His spitting up is still a little better than the last few days, but still worse than usual.

I'm hoping when his teeth actually start to cut, this amazing necklace will still be helping!
