Teething can be a tough time for all involved.
Former
Fair City actress and popular presenter, Aoibhín Garrihy recently shared an Instagram talking about her daughter's teething.
Five-month-old Hanorah is having a tricky time with the process, but Aoibhín revealed that Teetha Teething Gel and Teetha Teething Granules, which are homeopathic medicinal products, are providing some relief.
The mum of one captioned her post saying that "it was a long night" with Hanorah teething, which seems to be a common statement from mums.
Children typically begin teething at around four or five months and it lasts until kids are into toddlerhood.
And there's a pretty logical reason as to why nighttime is generally tougher for little ones who are teething.
According to
mom.com, when it comes to toddlers they are usually all go throughout the day and some studies suggest:
"Kids are less likely to perceive pain when they're distracted. It just hurts more when you're tired and there's nothing to catch your attention, and this applies regardless of age."
Makes perfect sense, really!
If you are dealing with a child who's teething, you have our sympathies. It can be tough on children and parents alike, but just remember - it doesn't last forever.
