“Ouch! Teething Mimi Bites My Hand in the Bath 😭🦷🐒” – Baby Monkey Cici
Bath time with Mimi usually follows a familiar pattern—warm water, gentle movements, and lots of soft reassurance. But today, something felt a little different from the start. Mimi had been extra fussy all morning, chewing on her fingers, toys, and anything she could reach. Her tiny gums were clearly bothering her. Teething time had arrived. 🦷🐒
As the bath began, Mimi stayed close, clinging more than usual. She didn’t cry, but her face showed discomfort. Her brows were slightly furrowed, and she kept bringing her mouth toward my hand. I assumed she just wanted comfort, so I held her gently, letting the warm water soothe her body.
Then it happened—suddenly and unexpectedly. Mimi leaned forward and bit my hand. 😭 It wasn’t aggressive or angry, but it definitely hurt. Her little teeth pressed down with surprising strength, and I couldn’t help but gasp. Mimi froze immediately, still holding on, eyes wide as if she didn’t even realize what she’d done.
Cici noticed at once. She shifted closer, alert and concerned, watching Mimi carefully. The moment felt tense for just a second. I gently pulled my hand back, speaking softly, not wanting to scare Mimi. Her expression changed instantly—from confusion to guilt. Her lips trembled, and she looked at me with those big, watery eyes, clearly sensing something was wrong. 🥺💔
Mimi didn’t cry loudly. Instead, she made a small, upset sound and leaned back, clinging again as if apologizing in her own way. It was clear she wasn’t trying to hurt anyone. Her gums were sore, and she didn’t know how else to express the discomfort.
I stayed calm, offering reassurance and adjusting my grip to keep both of us comfortable. The bath continued slowly. Mimi relaxed a little, though she kept chewing on her own fingers instead of my hand this time. The warm water seemed to help, easing her tension bit by bit.
Throughout it all, Cici stayed nearby, steady and protective, helping Mimi feel secure. By the time the bath ended, Mimi was calmer, cleaner, and visibly tired. She cuddled in close afterward, resting her head and letting out a small sigh, as if the stress of teething and bath time had finally passed.
That little bite was painful—but it was also a reminder. Mimi is still a baby, learning about her body, her feelings, and the world around her. Even in moments of discomfort, patience and love matter most. Teething may hurt, but with care and understanding, Mimi will get through it—one tiny tooth at a time. 🐒💛🦷
