Teething, Tantrums & Clinginess

So as you will be aware I haven't done a post for a couple of weeks, this is due to the fact that Michael has been a poorly little pumpkin.

Me and my partner awoke one morning to see that Michael had developed a weird rash on his tummy and on the back of his neck, we put cream on it and waited to see if it would go. We checked him again the morning after and it was the same (getting worse) so we rang the doctors to get him checked over, he had gotten Scarlet Fever (from god knows where) so we were given antibiotics for him to get rid of it. After one day of him being on antibiotics we noticed a bit of white on his gum and realised it was a tooth coming through! We were both really impressed with him, he were being quite well behaved considering he weren't very well and he had cut a tooth, which we were none the wiser about, and then it started... Constant crying whenever he weren't with me, he could be sat in front of me and would cry until I picked him up, nothing would help, he wouldn't get distracted by toys or the TV, it was driving me insane!

I had sympathy obviously, he is a baby and wasn't very well, but he wouldn't go to anyone without bursting into tears, he wouldn't even go to his daddy, it was exhausting!

Anyway we carried on giving him his medicine (which was a trial in itself) and tried to keep him happy, when it came last few days of him taking his medicine we noticed that he was getting another tooth, right next to the first one, my immediate thought was great, breastfeeding isn't hard enough! Which I was correct about because the little monkey has made it so I need to use cream because my nipples were cracking, which I am guessing was due to the fact my precious son likes to bite when he's decided he's had enough.

Thank god he's better! He's currently sat in his jumperoo screeching like a mad man, I would love to know what he's shouting about.
