Baby Chrizs is Teething

Six months is the average age to get a first tooth. It was different for baby Chrizs. He got his first tooth at nine months. I taught someone taught him how to bite. He tried to put things like clothes and toys in his mouth to bite it. But, I was wrong. His godfather saw one tooth when Baby Chrizs smiled and laughed on his funny antics. I tried to take a photo of his tooth but when I ask to open his mouth or touch his mouth, he shows his tongue. :)

I would like to share "A New Parent's Guide", According from this site, some babies suffer from this symptoms when teething:

Irritability - The baby is irritable because it experiences sore tooth and pain when it rises closer to the gum's surface. Fortunately, Baby Chrizs is not fussy and irritated with it.

Drooling - Baby Chrizs starts drooling at 5 months and every one I met told me that his teething.

Coughing -It occurs when an extra saliva can cause your baby to cough. But there's nothing to worry about if there's no high fever.

Chin Rash - constant contact of saliva. I saw Baby Chrizs had this for a day. I put an ointment on his chin. Not entirely but only the little red spots on his chin.

Biting and Gnawing - Biting relieves the pressure from under baby's gums. Yes, Baby Chrizs puts clothes and other soft material on his mouth to bite. I always stop him from doing this because it's dirty. I give him a teether but he don't like it and throw it away. I wash a soft cloth, made of cotton material and let him gnaw it.

Cheek Rubbing and Ear Pulling - pains travels from gums to the ears and checks. Honestly, I saw my baby rubbing his cheek and pulling his ear but I do not have the idea until I read these symptoms. My heart sank. I'll check his ear and place a cold cloth on his cheek.

Diarrhea - Fortunately, baby Chrizs did not suffer from any diarrhea up until this time. If your baby has this symptom while teething, please inform your doctor.

Low-grade Fever - slight fever occurs perhaps on babies who can really handle the pain. I am happy that Baby Chrizs did not have a fever, hopefully.

Not Sleeping Well - it is due to the pain that he could not sleep well. During night time, Baby Chrizs can hardly sleep at night. He cries and had nightmares (ex: crying while asleep and throws fit). I have to wake him up and carry him to comfort.

Cold symptoms (ex: runny nose) - Call a doctor when cold symptoms occur. Sometimes, Baby Chrizs sneezes but no runny nose. What I did is give him his vitamins and fruits like lemon juice. These are the source for vitamins C which is good for protecting the immune system.
If all these symptoms occur and persist, please inform your doctor.

It's Christmas but we're suffering from difficulties and hardships! It's always a challenge, though. It is not easy to set our feet to move forward, immediately. But then, let bygones be bygones! 

Let's thank God for the chance to live and pass through difficult times. 

In behalf of my family, with all our hearts,
Merry Christmas everyone!

Just Arrived... Not so good news, yesterday!

I just arrived errr.. it's 7 hours ago and it's a late post! I took a nap after, for about 4 hours. Oh, is that a nap or sleep? My feet is aching and tired from walking around the two malls! That's North Edsa and SM Fairview! At North Edsa, I went there to exchange the Yoshinoya's P500 worth of gift certificates (I won in Jayson Biadog's contest) and Skin Food voucher from Chic and Sassy Homemaker. I did not have a chance to take a photo of the food because we devoured it, immediately. Also, I forgot to take a photo of Skin Food with the Golden Kiwi gift set. Well, you can call me, Ms. Forgetful! Will blog about it, tonight.

The not-so-good news is that my wallet was stolen from my bag while I'm on my way out from SM Fairview to cross the streets and ride on a bus. I am so tired and it's night time, time to rush home. Both my hands were full of green bags, so, I had no chance to secure my body bag. Good thing, the coins, SS ID and cellphone were separated in different bag pockets. What that lady pick pocket got is my Philhealth card (renewable), atm card (closed account), receipts, coins from Charms and Crystal that needs blessing and more or less than 300 worth of money. My wallet is bulky because of the cards and receipts but little cash.

When I arrived home, another stolen situation made my ears red, again! This time, it's an online gaming items. One of the shop gamer stole an item from another shop gamer. I hope he reads this post because I'm not afraid to intervene even if my husband tried to stop me. He's a bad influence!

It's 6:30am and I need to get back to sleep, at least before my baby wakes up for his morning breakfast and bath. Good vibes, everyone! :)

A Family in Hunger

In 2006, I stayed in Makati, looking for a job and budget was so tight that I can hardly buy for food. My funds were draining in my pocket. I am not ashamed to tell that some of my housemates had given me a free meal and or free snacks. In which, I am thankful because I haven't eaten for that day, though. I did not tell them that I haven't eaten anything. I satisfy myself with water and another glass of water with pinch of salt.

One night at 6pm - 7pm, I saw a family in one corner, eating left overs in a garbage site owned by one of the Inns in Makati. The father is looking for food in the garbage. While the mother is dividing the food and give it to her two children who were very hungry. I stop on my tracks and thought, "This is the real epitome of a family in hunger and difficulty".From what I saw, I can say, we are very lucky, even if we are grappling with financial difficulties. Still, we are lucky because we eat good food not in garbage. Sleep in a soft bed, I wonder where and how they sleep.

I share this because it is not only one family that strive against hunger! There are millions of families who need our help.  Would you mind giving half of the food in your plate? Let's help United Nations World Food programme for a  fight for Hunger Crisis Worldwide! You can help save lives!

Thank you very much!
