Teething??

Cynth0104

Ok. For the last 1.5 weeks, LO has been gnawing on his hands and had a cough. Now, inthe last 2 days, LO has had a really runny nose, very red cheeks, and been fussier than normal. I’m thinking teething, but can’t feel anything in his mouth. Thoughts? I feel bad because he seems to not feel well! He will be 6 months on the 12th, so I know it is about time for it

Might just be a cold, my LO is kind of always gnawing on his hands. Ped said teeth are coming might it might be a long while since they're his first.

My LO got his bottom 2 teeth around 4.5 months.  He had some of those symptoms but also had a couple of colds around that time, so I don't know if they were teething related.  He also has been drooling and gnawing on his hands for months!

DS got his bottom two teeth at 3.5 months. I was shocked as his older brothers didn’t get teeth until after 6 months. So it’s very possible he’s getting them if he’s showing all the signs. Could be a cold though. Oftentimes you don’t know until they pop!
