First tooth started erupting from Sadie's lower gums today....or that's when it was first noted anyway. She will NOT let you SEE the tooth, but you can feel it when she bites on your finger. It seems to have greatly affected her eating, as she has recently only been drinking a few ounces (2-4) at a time....down from her previous 6-7 ounce average. She also started waking up during the night a few weeks ago, so we're back to square one as far as night-time feedings go. Probably waking at night to make up for the calories lost during the day. Crossing our fingers that this is going to be a relatively short phase.
Update: seemed like the teething phase lasted about 1 week or so total. Very relieved that she is pretty much back to normal as far as her eating. Although her discomfort seems to be resolved, she still really enjoys her cold teething toys and she seems to prefer her food to be kind of on the slushy side. As soon as she'll let me, I want to get a pic of those two bottom teeth....so cute!
