wats happening to me...


Since 2 weeks back I've been able to stand up in my cot without any support from anyone. I will jus kneel down first and reach out for the cot and pull myself to a standing position. Was pretty fun but i kept bumping my head ard the cot once I let go both of my hands. But now its getting better I will slowly let go one hand and land on my butt, alot more cushion I must say...

Anyway past few days I have been pooing alot more times than normal. But its not diarrhea. Grandmama says its becos i'm teething. Yesterday was bad cos I pooed a few times till my butt was tender red. I was in great pain especially when it came to my evening bath. Waaah it hurts... but papa manage to help make it betta. He cleaned my butt with warm water and put lotsa cream on my butt. I was back to my cheeky self after dat.
Hope the PS-ing will resume back to normal.
BTW 1 lil bottom tooth has popped out last sunday. : )

Teething & Diarrhea
"Debate continues as to whether teething causes diarrhea or not. What’s clear is, many parents report loose stools while their baby’s teeth are erupting. This could be a) coincidental, due to the fact that the level of immunity they received from being in the mother’s womb drops off and the child’s immune system must take over, at around the same time as teething starts, and b) when teething begins, all manner of things are put into the mouth, germs and all. Whatever the reason, diarrhea is a pain in the butt.


Another theory about diarrhea during teething is that since baby is drooling so much, a lot more saliva is passing through the system, diluting nutrients and adding more acidic content to the mix. It is normal that stools contain enzymes that help digest food. During teething, stools pass through the intestines more quickly thanks to the copious saliva and take with them more acidic matter. The enzymes affect the soft skin of baby’s bottom, resulting in a rash that can be painful, or at the least irritating."
