Lots of poos = teething?

[maidelyn]

My lo is very whiny, eating his fists even more than usual and filling his nappy five or six times a day instead of once or twice, is this teething?
No sign of teeth or rosey cheeks...

Going through the exact same with my LO and he's only 12 weeks tomorrow!

We've had three poos today so far and normally, would only have one. He's drooling all the time and I think I can feel sharpness beneath the gums. He's actually been really unhappy today and I tried a little dentinox on his gums and it seems to have helped.

I did google bowel movements and teething and apparently, they poo more as there is extra saliva that they swallow and it isn't digested, so just comes right out the other end.

Yes.. My LO at 4 months started pooping a lot (every ten mins - no lie!) through day and night, no drool, red cheeks and she wasn't even fussing! I just thought she had a yuk tummy, two days of this later, her two bottom teeth appeared together! So was a sign for her x

Explains a lot I never put lots of poos and teething together! My LO has been having 3 dirty nappies a day for the last week knew he was teething due to drooling and fists in mouth. I was worried about all the poo!
