teething- how do you know?

[Sams123]

I know this may sound like a silly question, but I am genuinely wondering! My little girl has had flushed cheeks, biting everything in sight and drooling loads- changing bibs every 30mins as they are soaked- and still no sign of a tooth! I cant even feel the start of anything in her mouth, and its been like this for 4 weeks! x

Sounds like she is teething. Those are good signs. But teeth can take months to actually poke through.
Rio has been like this, as well as unsettled for a couple of months now and still no more teeth as yet. 5 big lumps under the surface that have been there for weeks!

Sounds about right. Malcolm was crazy fussy for a long time before the first lump of tooth was felt.

Get her an amber necklace. Teething pain and drooling both got way better for my son after I put one on him. I don't even need to keep bibs on him anymore.

I've got an amber teething necklace but haven't put it on her as was worried about something being around her neck- are they ok? X

You can wrap it around a wrist or ankle, especially at night, to avoid strangling.

sounds like teething ... Mine I'm not sure, he's been fussy during the day for about over a week now, he never used to cry during the day just at night think he had colic. But now he cheews on his thumb it's not sucking he pushes it towards his top gums and his cheeks are redish sometimes during the day, sometimes he rubs them too. I don't see anything but it's usually hard to see on most babies I find. I just don't know if it's teething or just a phase ...

You'll know...

I was just coming here to ask the same thing! Today has been especially bad for her She just started rubbing her face with her hands today and making a new bubble blowing sound while crying. She's been super drooly for a couple weeks now and gnawing on everything (even toothless her bite hurts A LOT). She also has been waking up crying during the night the past two nights. Anyhow, I use Dr Brown's gum and teeth wipes to clean her mouth everyday and noticed what felt like a slightly bulging place in the middle of her bottom gums while wiping them. I'm almost positive she's teething and it's about to come through, but I'm not sure how long this normally takes?? I just feel so bad for her.

My Mum only eve knew because we would chew, dribble and have a red cheek. She had six of us and none of us were too bothered by the whole process so I'm hoping my LO will have an easy time with teething all being well!

But from what you've said it sounds like your LO probably is teething x

Nathan has had all this on and off for months now. I have given up on thinking 'this is it' I really hope they poke through quickly for your kiddo!

We've had it since four months. Now 10 months and still no teeth!x

Evelyn had weeks of this and the doctor said the teeth are probably moving around before they pop out
