    10 weeks & teething :( or so i think?!

    My lil DS is only just over 10 weeks old and for the last 7 or so days he has been out of sorts! I have noticed lots of dribbles (soaking his singlets), fists in mouth and chewing on them, runny poo (gross), flushed checks, super sooky (generally a happy chappy), not drinking (he is usually a gutz), not sleeping (he was sleeping through), scratching and pulling on his ears (even drew blood OUCH) and the clincher... two white bumps on his bottom gum!! I know all the signs point to teething but is he too young?

    When I called to make an appointment with the family health nurse for this coming week she asked if he had any reaction to his immunisations (over a fortnight ago) I said no (he was fine the week following being jabbed) but that I now thought he was teething she dismissed this and said it was more likely a reaction to his needles! GRRR So being the stubborn mummy that I am I cant wait to take him this Friday and for her to see the BIG bumps he has going on in his lil mouth!!!!!!

    Anyway, what can I do in terms of relief for such a lil one? I am using Infants Friend but everything else seems to be for older bubs! So horrible to see him in suffering at such a young age
