over the weekend when mummy is playing with Zethan that she discovered Zethan could be cutting 4-5 teeth concurrently. It is no easy feat to feel / peep into his mouth especially when he put up a strong resistance either clamping his mouth real tight or biting real hard so much it always leave some teeth marks on the finger.
so the discovery came when mummy was playing with Zethan by pretending that he is a small infant in the cradle position. It has been a good 8 months or so he wasn't held in this manner simply cause he refused to be! so Zethan totally enjoyed it and giggles happily with mouth wide open. What better opportunity to peep into his mouth. To her surprise, she notice his upper lateral incisors are cutting (whitish), upper left cuspid buldging, lower left lateral incisor cut through.
for the past week or so, his appetite dipped badly due to one reason or another. milk feeds reduced drastically, solids reduced marginally. mummy knew that the 'good times' are only momentary so now it back for 'revenge'. there is no way to judge his appetite if it's due to teething which will be genuine or simply one of his tantrum throwing antics!
anyhow mummy have decided if Zethan refused his meals / feeds, she will definitely leave him alone and go hungry if he insist. she is not going to compromise and provide early meals just because of that. she see no point in forcing him to finish his meals / feeds which only end up in frustration for both parties. Zethan has to learn his lesson. fuss / cry = had enough of food = food removed = no more food till next mealtime. Patience ran thin, tolerated more than supposed to. Period!
