Teething?

[mikhayla*89]

So, my little girl seems to be showing all the signs of teething for the last week or so. Red cheeks, dribbling all over the place, chewing everything and really grizzly. Last 2 nights slept terrible and she usually sleeps through the night. She 5.5 months, and only breastfed but the teething seems to be making her not want to eat as much, which I'm wondering is causing the sleepless nights? She's fussy when she's on the boob and after about 5 mins she just starts chewing on my nipple! Does this sound like teething because I thought she was a bit young? And what can I do to help her? Thanks

Sounds exactly like teething.
I used to give my ds some panadol before bed to help him sleep. Also ice blocks and cold things to suck on can help ease pain. And she isn't too young, most babies get teeth at six months, the teeth could be moving around for a month or so before they actually pop through unfortunately.
