The poor baba doesn't understand what's going on and you don't know how to comfort them, meaning you and your child are one the verge of a meltdown at any point.
Here are 13 things any parent of a teething baby knows all too well.
1. You follow all of the advice, but baby just won't play ball
2. Baby often resembles someone coming off a three day bender at Electric Picnicbabies will literally chew everything except their teething rings

3. Or a character from a horror flickJudging by his jaw action my one-year-old is on a hell of a rollover. Either that or he’s teething again. Who’s to say?

10. Like, REALLY don't get itAs a (young) mom I can honestly say nothing is more irritating than having my teething toddler out in public and getting dirty looks from people when he’s whining/crying in pain. Like please don’t make me smack the look off your face.
