6 months and teething

My 6 month old little boy is teething. Both his bottom teeth are coming through. He’s always been such a chilled easy going, always laughing baby. But recently (understandably) he’s being very fussy and unsettled. He’s fine during the night. He’s always slept through and still does. However he has started growling and screaching (not crying just a high pitch screach) but only seems to do it more to me (I’m at stay at home mum so 90% it’s just me and him) it’s like he’s frustrated at me🤷‍♀️ is this normal? It’s making me feel pretty down tbh

This sounds very much like my 5 month old boy. Also chilled and easy going, and now much more unsettled and grumpy! Once he goes off to sleep, he stays asleep. Just the occasional stir which can be settled with a dummy. I’ve been using Calpol, and rubbing anbesol liquid on his gums, it seems to offer some short term relief. It’s always worse after 4-5pm onwards too! It’s so difficult but there’s only so much we can do. I most definitely get the “oh it’s Mum, I’ll cry more!”
