Teething

Anyone's LO teething yet?

Emeraldeyed315 · November 2013

I'm thinking we are close...she is super drooley and keeps putting everything in her month and munching (fists, rubber ducky, sophie, etc)

LEMSA · November 2013

Nope. Just finding his hands and putting his mouth on everything. But I don't think it's teething.

PB102012 · November 2013

LO has been drooling a ton and also sticking everything in her mouth but I doubt (or I should say hope) it's teething.

BellaOso · November 2013

Yep. My DD1 got teeth at 4 months so I'm not totally surprised. She has little white spots and chomps and drools on everything.

FeetFirst · November 2013

Hubby freaked me out tonight and said " did you see the teeth coming in?" And I was like WHAT? And look and it is just some left over spit up on her gums. Lol so yeah... No teeth here yet.

Revez · November 2013

I wonder sometimes, but it's been said in previous threads that the teeth can move around a lot before erupting.

That being said they are also learning about their hands and developing saliva glands so who knows. She definitely has her days when I could swear something is going on in that mouth of her's.

CaliforniaDream87 · November 2013

Doubt it.

Yes, he's drooling A LOT and it seems his hands are constantly in his mouth but that's normal for this stage.

mommabmb · November 2013

I doubt it but it's possible. LO was born with keratin deposits on his gums, so it's always kinda looked like "teeth". Shouldn't have any lasting issues other than making it hard for me to tell when they do actually come in. Somehow I think he's going to let us know

BlueJewelM · November 2013

Nah.

DS1 didn't get his first tooth until 8 months and never had any issues with teething. Hoping for the same this time!

I had a friend whose baby had two teeth at 3.5 months though. Kinda freaky.

I'm pretty sure our LO is.

The drooling alone can also be part of them starting to learn about making sounds and 'talking', because we need saliva to be able to lubricate all the parts to do so (interesting fact: apparently we have as much saliva in our mouths as the seeming excess babies have, we just know how to keep ours in).

But drool aside, our LO definitely has little teeth buds showing, will chew on a cold washcloth or her frozen chewy keys more than any other toy, and has rosey cheeks a lot of the time.

I could be totally off the mark, but the signs say yes.

EricaLee2013 · November 2013

I think mine is. She is drooling a lot, has little white buds on her lower gums which look like rice trying to pop through, and rosy cheeks. All the signs say yes!

MommyAmes2 · November 2013

My other two didn't get teeth until 8-9 mo. She is chewing her hands, that's because she found them. She drools, because she just figured out she can move her tongue in and out. So, no teeth here.

girlmama83 · November 2013

I don't think so but I am terrorized of BFing when she does.

Are rosy cheeks a sign of teething? LO has definitely started having rosy cheeks a but more lately and is constantly chewing on her hands (though not putting anything else in her mouth yet) and drooling, but I thought it was just her discovering her hands as others have said rather than teething.

TeacherMom210 · November 2013

I think DD has started. She is a constant puddle of drool and everything is going in her mouth, which I know is also normal for this stage, but her gums look really translucent and she'll go to town chewing on your finger or some of her smaller teething toys.

Leosmom13 · November 2013

LO is drooling a ton, has big rosy cheeks on him, would give jaws a run for his money when we pop a finger in his mouth, and is quite cranky. Not to mention I kinda think I felt a little sharp tooth coming up under his gums this morning! Bf should be fun from now in! :-S

You could see our lo's teeth at birth but our pedi said that's normal and doesnt necessarily mean he will teethe early. No signs yet thank goodness!

AprilRaine · November 2013

LO hasn't started yet, but DS1s K-9s are coming in this week and I'm officially ready to move to a remote location in China until he's all done.

This plus a little bit of throwing up and low grade fever today.

janneann1127 · November 2013

I don't think we are there yet. But DS1 started teething right around 4 months, got his first two teeth @6 months straight up. So I'd be willing to bet it's right around the corner.

AmeliaKris · November 2013

Nope. She loves eating her hands and clasping them together. She also is excellent at sticking her tongue out. None of my mom's babies got teeth until about 9 months. For the sake of my nipples, I hope she is a late teether.
