Simon and Kelly’s Baby Blog

Well…it seems that Ben wasn’t suffering from Colic at all, but he is actually teething already!  This is a bit of a shock as babies don’t usually start to teeth until at least 3 months, although it isn’t unheard of.

Kelly found this out yesterday when she went to visit the health visitor with him.  The health visitor checked Ben out and found that there was one tooth in particular that was trying to push through at the front left of his mouth.  No wonder the little chap has been so restless!!!

We have now got some powder and medicine for him to try and keep him calm and to take away the pain of it coming through, and it did seem to settle him down a bit last night.  At least we managed to get a bit more sleep.

He is going to be a super baby, what with teething already!

Unfortunately, Ben is now suffering from what we suspect is bad colic.  He wakes up at 2am every night crying and grunting, as if there are waves of pain going through his tummy.  This of course means that we are awake from this time every night, well….we do manage to nod off a bit, but there isn’t anything we can do for him apart from give him some cuddles.  We do have some medicine for this, but it doesn’t seem to work all the time.

Apart from that, he is still very good…growing fast….and is now starting to smile and laugh!
