Teething symptoms for almost 1 month but still no signs of any tooth yet?

[Spring Angel]

There have been times when DS has gone off his feeds and I have no idea why and then within a few days he is back to his normal schedule. Like just then I tried to give his morningtea which is usually a feed ( 3 segments of mandarin) and a breastfeed. He totally refused the breastfeed but happily chomped on the mandarin.

They are condfusing little creatures. As long as she is having wet nappies and seems content then as frustrating as it its, just follow her lead.

ETA: I should say that I always offer the breast first before offering solids.

Spring, thank you for sharing your advice. I will definitely follow her lead instead of worrying myself off... I will try offering her some cool teething toys since she's always holding on them to chew on. (Maybe her tooth is hiding somewhere underneath)

No worries at all. It is easy to get worried when bubs seem uncomfy. I was also thinking perhaps get her some teething rusks. DS used to chomp on them for ages and it really seemed to give him some relief and occupy him so I could give my arms a break.

It also hurts apparently when the teeth are coming down and moving around in the gums, so whilst you may not be able to see or feel the actual teeth, they may still be feeling pain from the movement.
DS took about 4 months from first symptoms to getting his teeth. Its a rough time. He's getting his eye teeth now, and sometimes has bad days, sometimes good days, depends on how much they are moving.
Its a terrible time for both mum and bub, so hang in there, you are doing a great job

Poor DD, I can only imagine what it must be like to be suffering from the teething pain. It sucks when babies can't communicate with us by words but only by crying and whinning. I guess for my part, the best I could do to ease her discomfort is to cuddle her and be there for her aside from her teething toys. Thank you for all your replies, I feel so much better hearing from all of your experiences!

DS1 had teething signs for 3 months before the first tooth cut. DS2 had his first two cut together with no warning!!
