Teething Already??!!!

[Chocaholic]

It is quite possible he is teething. Babies do everything at a different rate to others.

Cooper was miserable for weeks when he was about 4 months old and I couldn't figure it out. Finally the doctor told me that he might have teeth coming down. They weren't ready to erupt yet but they were moving which was really painful.

Good luck!

Zavier teethed really early too....

But 10-12 weeks is a developmental step too hon... also the salvia glands only kick in about now as well...so poor little mite could have a combination of things...Just do what you are doing babe...He just wants his mummy!!!

It was around then that DS started drooling heaps too. It's also when he became more interested in shoving everything into his mouth. Teeth have only just come through this week (at 4.5 months).

Clinic nurse said to me that they can have teething 'symptoms' months before the teeth actually come through, as they move around in the gums.

Thanks Court, Jodie and Rach.
I had heard that they can teethe for ages before they actually come through but i was hoping otherwise.
He is the grizzliest little bub out at the moment.
Thank goodness for slings!

Ash DD got her 1st 2 teeth 4.5 months..but you could see the 2 white spots just under the gum for about 8ish weeks before hand and she was a grumpy bum

The other thing that might be irritating him are his ears... Just a thought. Hope he's feeling better soon.

It sounds like teething Ash BUT Oscar started doing the same thing at the same age and he only got his first tooth around 1 month ago!

Maybe ask your MCHN at your next appt if it's soon.
