Tom was 3 months when he first started teething, he would constantly dribble, start eating his fist and biting his fingers.

My LO only had red cheeks and drooling but I found a nice site which explains all the symptoms

DROOL everywhere. Seriously. I don't even bother to dress him unless we are heading out. The drool is never ending.

Nathan was about 3 months when he started drool so badly. So bad infact when I change his bum and he is on his back he spilts it out!

He also rams his hands and fists into his mouth...now its anything he can grab really and chomps it.

Just latey he has become really grouchy and only chomping on something helps.


Mentioned all this to HV but noooo he has just found his hands and mouth thats all. I think his teeth are on the move!

what can i do to help him?? will him havin his dummy be helping the pain as he has it alot xx

Some people buy amber necklaces. If it's really bad before bed, calpol. Cool things to bite on. Teething gel. a different teething gel you can buy over the counter. Teething powders.

[NatalieW]

I haven't bought Isobel one for the same reasons...

 

[**angel**]

I got the bonjela one. She pulls a face when I put it on there. Helps a bit I think. Teeth can take ages. We;ve not cut a tooth yet..

liam started around 4-5 months, well this was once i noticed his white buds coming up, i freeze terry clothes and soft sponges for him to bite on really helped alot and since i got his amber necklace the drolling is no longer a problem also plenty of calpol for bed time x
