Teething

vegandy

Hi ladies, popping over with a quick question. Ds has not been himself this last week and all signs/symptoms point to teething. He'll be 12 weeks Tuesday, so it just seems too early.......did anyone else experience teething at this stage? Any tips would be appreciated, I can't stand to see my normally happy baby so upset. (not to mention we have a 6hr flight Tuesday *cringe*) Tia.

We haven't experienced it yet, but some babies get teeth really soon. It could also be a growth spurt. GL, I hope you figure it out and get some relief!

Seems early but some babies get teeth really early.  I've been thinking that Claire may be getting some teeth soon as well - she's been so weird lately!

I suspect DD is teething.  Drooling incessantly & has the green, mucusy poops sometimes that are supposed to point to teething.  She's also putting her rattles in her mouth & gumming the edges of them & biting down on me sometimes when she BFs.  There is a hard spot on one of her lower gums & it looks like something might be going on there, but nothing has popped through the skin yet.

I remember my cousin's 2 bottom teeth cut through the exact day she turned 3 months.  It can happen!

With DD1, I typically notice that the teething symptoms come quite a bit before the teeth actually pop through.  I heard the painful part for them isn't so much the popping through the gums, but when the teeth are moving up.  Everytime I'd think she was getting a tooth and would blame her behavior on teething, it'd be a month or two until the tooth came. 

 That being said, I've heard of a number of babies who had their first teeth by 4-5 months.  Good luck on the plane!

DS hasn't gotten any  teeth yet, but around 14 weeks I was sure he was going to pop a tooth soon, as he was incredibly fussy and seemed uncomfortable. I gave him Tylenol, which helped him a lot.
