Much of the first few years is spent guessing whether they’re teething or something else.

Being a mom is trying to guess if its teething, sleep regression, ear infection, getting sick, or just a bad day😅

But in the end, we always come back to teething.

Babe has been super cranky (for him) past few days. Blaming it on teething. Blame everything wrong with babies on teething.

Once the realisation sinks in, you will really miss those newborn days.

Oh. My. God.

What new fresh hell is this teething phase???

He won’t eat, he won’t sleep, he seems like he’s in so much pain...

I hate it here!

No household item is safe.

I seem to have (non voluntarily) surrendered my sock as a teething toy. Not convinced about this pic.twitter.com/tbY3jf6wgr

Teething rings are nice. You are better.

Did I get a piercing?
Was it a vampire?
Maybe a mosquito?

No, it was my teething toddler that bit me in the middle of the night 🙃 pic.twitter.com/eIqvuVQhM6

They will draw blood.

Dawg I was really trying to breastfeed till my beautiful offspring turned 1 but breastfeeding through teething is a nightmare, he bit me and drew blood, I know he’s half Transylvanian but RELAX. I’m just gonna go ahead and pump ONCE MY NIPPLE HEALS.

You will reach new levels of tiredness...

Mickey is teething. Send sleep.

Got next to no sleep last night because teething (molars-ouch). I'm so tired I just sprayed air freshener in my hair instead of dry shampoo pic.twitter.com/mFmIilkWzk

And somehow power through it?!

I don't understand how my brain is functioning with so little sleep? Little one is teething and was up 2am-5am 👶🏻
Here I am looking loopy AF from exhaustion with bebe looking like a spring chicken 🥲@Momademia
I've hit a level of exhaustion that caffeine cannot even impact. pic.twitter.com/vXz7MgMX64

Sometimes the tiredness will result in you trying any remedy. Even an egg sock.

This lady on Facebook posted that she put an egg in a sock in hung it in her babies room and he slept all night because the egg captured all the cO2 and cO2 causes pressure on teething gums. I would like to have whatever the hell she’s smoking

Ditto, trying to get them to eat.

My son is teething so he doesn't have much of an appetite. He won't eat unless I sing those cocomelon/super Jojo songs and dance for him. There's gotta be an office I can report this at, because this must be abuse.😫

Somehow, despite all this, they still run rings around you.

Teething is fucking wild. My baby literally won’t eat or sleep for like 3-7 days but the energy level is off the fucking charts??? I’m literally struggling to stay awake while she’s running on 13 calories and 2 hours of sleep energetically splattering mashed potatoes on the walls

Teething poos are explosive and terrifying.

When a teething baby poops 🤮🤮
— Marie not Maria 🇭🇹 (@1804_gang) September 30, 2022

Catching a squidgy teething poo in your hand.... That!
— Tiffany Barbuzano (@TiffanyBarb) June 20, 2013

Add bath-time into the mix and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

Tonight, Pumpkin did a poo in the bath, not just any poo, a teething “escapes from any nappy” style poo. As I tried to get him out, he flung himself down into the pooey water and thrashed around. That was a definite low of parenting for me 😩🤢😩🤢💩💩💩
— Mummy or Muuuuuuuummmmmy (@thelupiemummy) February 4, 2018

Being a dad is awesome 98% of the time. Tonight was a 2%. Grayson decided to release his teething poo in the tub while mommy was at work.
— Craig Curtis (@craig_c) April 23, 2013

Despite all of this, the teeth take f.o.r.e.v.e.r to come through.

Nonstop drooling, nonstop crying I hate the teething phase 😩😩😩andddd it still takes forever for that one tooth to pop out😭😭
— Maryan Omar (@MimiOmar23) April 29, 2020

still teething. man. this takes forever.
— Danny... the Manny? (@Badadoobwow) May 16, 2008

Teething pains. Teething poo. Teething tantrums. Any chance of teething teeth?

You thought the front teeth were bad, wait ’til you see the molars.

Teething molars pic.twitter.com/vhF0JibOvH

Is there a teething toddler support group? These molars might kill us both 😣
— lexie (@lexiemamaa_) April 21, 2021

They will lose LITRES in dribble.

Me trying to say goodnight to my drooling, teething toddler. Molars are no joke. pic.twitter.com/s7KeWn97MV

Add more than one teething child into the mix and we’re Romeo done.

Everyone's getting sick and on top of that all 3 girls are teething. So basically I've lost any bit of sanity I had in me. 🙃

Perhaps this teething chart sums the chaos up best.
