Is your baby teething - i think mine is lol?

Signs of a baby teething

The symptoms of teething vary from child to child, but common signs include:

Increased fussiness, night-time crying and overly clingy behaviour.

Excessive dribbling.

Irritated skin around the chin and mouth due to excessive dribble.

Pink or red cheeks.

Swollen, red, inflamed gums.

Chewing and sucking on fingers and toys.

Increased demand in breast or bottle-feeding.

Poor appetite.

Change in sleep patterns, sleeplessness.

Rejection of breast or bottle (because suckling hurts gums.)

So far my little on has got increased fussiness and overly clingy behaviour, excessive dribbling, irritated skin, pink cheecks, chewing and sucking on fingers, increased demand of food, and change in sleep patterns...

Uh oh teething alert lol anyone elses baby teething???

Adam is! He has discovered his hands and has forever got them in his mouth chewing or sucking them his gums dont look any different but all mine have started teething early then not got a tooth for a while after lol.
he is also chewing on his dummies and bottle teats
With BJ he just woke up every morning with a new tooth hardly any problems but with Lucy it was different, she was up most nights with first few teeth it was HELL!!!!!!!
sorry Tia i have probably just frightened the life out of you pmsl

lol nah im prepared everyone says teething is hell...

Have you tried Ambesol????

yeah i think we tried everything with other two lol
will get some calgel tomorrow for when he gets worse, bound to be this week cos craig on nites lol esp as adam just learnt to sleep though as well

guess what i did? - I bought adam 3 teething rings, they said put them oin boiling water for 5min to sterilise, i thought thats not good enough for my baby so i put them in steriliser pmsl they came out a mangled mess of bright molten plastic hehe dopy cow now i have to go buy some more!!!

lmao sounds like something id do lol.

I cant use them yet cause Lana still doesnt understand what hands are lol. Its just a pain shes starting so early

well i keep putting things in is hands but he drops them he just wants his hands really. get a couple from home bargains and stick em in freezer, you can rub them on her gums when they are red

Im going to buy some on wednesday - shes discovering things slowly but surely.

She proper munches on her hands!

Ciara only has 4teeth left to cut n then shes got a full set lucky really its only taken 15months but these last4 r a nitemare! shes up msta nite tried evrythin!!! Used calpol n bonjela teethin gel 4 others n teethin rings n stuf but this time NOTHIN WORKS! shes up al nite n then crabby all day i cant w8 til theyv finally cut. But by time they hav then il av new baby teethin! x

I've heard back teeth are the worse obviously with them being bigger teeth. If Lana is teething now, how long do you reckon it'll be till she cuts her first tooth???

Yep well it really is tru its a nitemare!!!

evry babys diffrent ciaras 1st one took bout 6weeks b4 popped thru but then within space of a fortnite she had 4 lol. But my friends lil boy didnt get his 1st tooth til he was 11months n he started bout 3months wi teethin so all depends. Wen they start they dnt seem2stop tho x

I expect it'll be quite a while before Lanas first but im watching and waiting lol.

With caragh I used anbosol. Worked great on her. She has 16 teeth now just waiting for the last 4

with Keith we just used bonjela and Calpol when it's really bad, although think he has them all now, doesn't seem to have any gaps thank goodness, and he's only 18 months.

How old does a baby have to be to use calpol???

Cant wait till i can start using it for Lana lol

3 months

she only has to be 2 months old to use the calpol suspension one which is the normal one but she has to be 3 months to use the teething gel and the calpofren so she should be fine.

i remember when i could start using calopol with morgan it was a lifesaver especially with her colic when she was young and stuff like tht
