Teething?

Tyler will be 7 months later this week and still doesn't have any teeth. The last three nights have been horrible and I'm trying to figure out if he's teething or something else is bugging him. We'll put him in his crib and pat his back for a minute or two like normal but then he starts screaming when my DH or I are almost to the door. If we go back in and pat him, he'll stop crying right away. It took him forever to get to sleep last night and then he has been waking up at 4am the last few nights screaming as well. I go to feed him and he's barely hungry. Those moms whose kiddos have already popped out a tooth or two, when they were teething, did they ever stop crying immediately when you went to them? I assumed if his tooth/mouth was hurting enough to cry, he'd still be crying even when I went into the room to pat him. Maybe not. Just trying to figure out what has gotten my normally good sleeper into a funk. Thanks!

    I think it could still be teething. When LO was teething she was pretty inconsolable, but she would stop for a few minutes if I picked her up and walked around. I think it would distract her from the pain at least temporarily.

    C will be 7 months on the 8th, and he's been doing the exact same thing. He just cut a tooth over Thanksgiving, but I actually think it might have more to do with the "fussy period" they're supposedly in at this age (according to Wonder Weeks). It's not a leap, just a point in time when they get upset by us "leaving" them when we walk away.

    When C is in more than just annoying pain from teething (I think), he cries even when I try to console him.

    C is 7 months today and has been doing the same thing. I gave him Tylenol tonight to see if it helps his pain... So sad to hear him scream like that. :(

    When my LO bottom two came in (within a week of each other) at 5 months, he acted like that, he would stop crying when held and especially when nursed, he wanted to nurse all day long though, I think for comfort.

    Thanks guys! We're onto day 4 or 5 of this now. Hopefully if it is a tooth it'll pop soon. T hardly ever cries much less this screaming he's currently doing. I feel so bad!

    S is 7 months old tomorrow and she's been doing something really similar even though she has no teeth yet and we can't find them at all. I think it's that whole separation anxiety they start to get around this age.
