We discovered yesterday that Mio’s first tooth is coming in! It’s one of her bottom middle teeth… you can see the top of the tooth emerging as the whitish part on her gums:
People had told us she must be teething during the past few weeks, because of how much she’s been drooling and sucking on her hands and toys, but we figured it was a very slow process and that we wouldn’t see the first tooth for a while.
While I’m excited about Mio reaching this milestone, I can’t help but wince when I think of breastfeeding a baby with teeth… Ouch!

I know! π Mio grabbed my finger and put it in her mouth, and I felt how sharp her tooth was… yikes!

haha* Her little munchkin tooth is so cute!
I was under the impression that four months is pretty early to start teething, but maybe it’s normal. A lot of the other babies we know didn’t start until a while later.
