teething

Teeth - the milestone I have been most dreading is now upon us.  DS has 4 teeth popping through, 2 on each side of where his 2 front teeth will come in.  Anyone else have a LO whose tooth eruption did not follow the traditional pattern?

I'm just glad I saw the tooth buds prior to getting bit....

oh wow! well, it hasn't happened to mine that way, but a friend of mine her two kids who are old enough to have teeth BOTH had their two next to the top front come in first! i thought it was cute i have gotten bitten several times... i'm getting increasingly frustrated.

I'm sorry that you've been bitten several times.  I am scared...and also hope that it won't end bf'ing.

i'm actually waiting to hear back from a lactation consultant, i'm having several issues. I hope you don't get bitten either!

I feel like DS isn't following a traditional pattern in that he doesn't have any yet.  He's showing all the signs his gums hurt though, and we can see his front teeth under his gums.  So we know it'll be soon, but it feels like he's been teething forever.

I remember my son being 2 or 3 months and the pedi confirmed that it was his budding teeth that we were seeing in his gums. We swore he'd get teeth early, but it wasn't until 8 months old, and marathon teething months later that those two teeth we saw so early popped through. Weird how long it can take sometimes. With DD, she wasn't napping well one week and then tried to eat one of DH's fingers and he felt a tooth that had broken through. No obviously different signs. You just never know! Hopefully it's not much longer before relief for your little guy!
