Elric is teething !!!

I was sharing a few days ago that Elric is refusing the bottle at times and wants to take control the bottle during feed. As I observed more closely, I realised that he was actually moving the bottle teat to the sides of his mouth to chew on it. After checking with my friends, most of them agreed that there is a high possibility that Elric is teething.

Teething at 3 months ago?? Is that possible?
And Elric started this behaviour 2 weeks ago meaning he was not even 3 month old.

Well... Kaye decided to get Elric a teether regardless, and I checked from online to DIY a teether using baby handkerchief/washcloth.

It is very simple actually.
These are what you need:
- Handkerchief
- Ziplock bag
- Boiled water

Boiled Water, Hanky and Ziplock bag



Just have a handkerchief and tied a knot at each of its corners.


Dip the knots with water (make sure it's boiled water) and keep it in a ziplock bag to store in the fridge/freezer.

Maybe because the teether which Kaye bought is still too big for him, he seems to enjoy biting on the handmade teether more. I have taught him how to hold on to the handmade teether and guide him to put into his mouth.



Be sure that you dont reuse the same knot for 2 different feed. So to identify the side which you have used, simply untie the knot before placing back into the fridge. 

Have fun! :)
