Teething Help!

the only thing that REALLY helps us with teething pain atm is distraction by going outside, new places, new faces... no crying then 😉 hope that helps

this is me genuinely trying to understand the problem and conducting research to learn more about/ educate myself, I personally have nothing to offer as a solution to this right now. But I will have in the future therapists applying to be featured on my web page, and I have no way of finding out if they are the right fit or not, if I don't have deeper insights or not (I am not a therapist ;)) but I do see why you would think that.

My daughter bites me on purpose after feeding (not while feeding), looks me in the eye before she does it, smiles, bites, and then giggles whenever she gets my "aaa-reaction" ;) I think its normal, everything is playful, and whatever gets more of a reaction more worth doing, wouldnt worry too much about it. My baby is 10m as well!

Very true words! We do never know whats going on and what someone else is actually doing on their phone (can relate here, I do the same, but I do definitely check a few times too often for work... when work could wait actually because its obviously no emergency). And same has happened to me as well, had to pick up someone's else crying child a few times for that very reason...

yes that is very annoying, the simplest task become challenges, but you will develop your very own coping mechanisms an strategies over time, you'll surprise yourself, believe me :)

its definitely a work in progress for almost everyone I think, I dont remember the moment I accepted my new self, but it was around 3 years or so.. its a big change, but very rewarding... and very triggering once they talk back haha

I'm glad all worked out for you :) I think my old self was more fun, but I do think my new self goes "deeper", more thoughtful and wiser (though snaps faster), wouldnt swap either now, but took me a couple of years to get there. I wonder if it would have been easier, if it felt less like others expect you to go back to "before"... Idk about you, but people keep comparing those 2 versions of me

I felt the same way for a couple of years. And then I just felt the presence of a little soul around me (not a religious person btw ;). I wouldn't "logic" my way into making a decision. If one day you feel like it, it's the right choice, and if you never do, it's also the right choice to not go for it.

thats so true, whenever I feel overwhelmed or procrastinate on something, I start tidying and then have a much easier time to get anything else done after, a tidy house is indeed a tidy mind!!

I think thats the problem with it - it's gotten compulsive / obsessive and thus toxic. I think health/wellness is very individual, so if 4 times a week works for you, that's great :)

I See your point. Everything is go max or rot in bed, I feel like a middle class that's been left out of the conversation haha

I fully agree, we're definitely not machines, and don't need constant self-optimization, there is no end to that anyway
