Teething, Please help!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Hey Ladies 

I think my son is teething. My four brothers and I all had 2 teeth by 3 months, my mom just told me today. DS has two white bumps on the bottom gums and he has been super cranky all day!!! He is drooling a ton and eating his hand but no fever. He keeps pushing his little tongue against his bottom gums.

But he is also 11 1/2 weeks so I don't know if it is a leap, teething, or a growth spurt. He is a STTN baby and he has woken up in the middle of the night for the past two nights! When I say cranky I mean a monster! lol! I still love him but I was wondering if anyone else has been going through this and if so, what can you do to help him? How long does it last???

    I think my LO is about to pop a tooth thru her bottom gums any second... I just posted about the amber teething necklaces.  I picked one up today, and am hoping it will work it's magic - she's been cranky all week at daycare, not napping, etc.

    I think it comes & goes. DD started around your babys age & I still have not seen a darn tooth! She does everything your LO is doing for a few days, then is fine, then it returns & so on. I use Highlands Teething tabs, which have worked well.

    My LO started this at about 13 weeks. He cut his first tooth at 17 weeks and his 2nd tooth yesterday (5 months). He did all the things you describe your LO doing and had the two white bumps. He now has one white bump on the top gum. I'm waiting for tha

    FTM here--my LO is doing the same thing.

    Per our pedi, we have him on a loose Tylenol regimen.  2.5 mLs every 4 hours (approximately).  I don't wake him up for it if he's sleeping and if he's having a good day we don't give to  him

    I don't think the timing of when a baby gets teeth is hereditary...my husband and I didn't even start teething until later/normal. DS started teething when he was 2.5 months old.

    As for the white spots on the gums, I thought they were teeth

    We're trying an amber teething necklace on advice from a couple friends. Not sure if its working yet, as DD does seem to be in pain sometimes, but it seems less frequent than before she had the necklace so maybe its helping?

    I use tylenol or tee
