Teething.. HELP!!

Hey Ladies!! So my son is 18 weeks old! Yesterday his poor lil cheek was bright red and he was drolling everywhere.. Later in the day he started crying like he was in serious pain.. by 9pm I gave him some Tylenlo because he was misirable! Does the red cheek mean teething?? Thanks ladies!!

 

Re: Teething.. HELP!!

  • It can mean teething.  Lila had red cheeks when her teeth broke through.  Drooling doesn't necessarily have to do with teething - they're just at the age where they start making more saliva, thus drooling.  You can try wetting a corner of a washcloth, then freezing it - sometimes that feels good.  Teething rings also work.  When Lila was teething, I gave her Tylenol as soon as she seemed out-of-the-ordinary crabby.
