Teething perhaps

My LG is 10mnths old and eversince she was 4mnth the excessive drooling started...I was so sure we would be seeing a toofie soon (as my son has 2 teeth by 4mnths).... Nothing happened. The drooling eventualy stopped, and about a month ago i was playing with her and voila I saw a white speck on her gum.....It was her first tooth...

What Im trying to say is that yes it cud be signs of teething, BUT the tooth might only come a few month later like in my case.... She now loves bilton sticks and dry wors.....

Hi Madeleine, my LB is now almost a year (2 weeks to go) and this last week he also doesn't want to sleep through, he only has 2 teeth at the bottom and he got that when he was almost 6 months. I also think he is teething now i am not sure because the first 2 he was a little grumpy but nothing serious and if it was not for my mom i wouldn't have even known that he had a tooth. So i was lucky with that but now - eish - it think he is getting al he's teeth toghter. LOL. I use prodol rub it on his dummy and then he is fine.

O but want i actually want to say is that when they are teething their ears also sometimes hurt. that is why they don't want to lay down.

But good luck! Hope she gets better ASAP.

Madeleine this is also my first one...I think you can try by process of illimination...
at first when he woke up during the evening I though he may be hungry, byt at his 3 month check up the paed said taht I can start introducing solids grdually, so I started with cereal in the evening...then I went on to the next possible cause...
What i did notice was that his gums were really swollen and when I felt them it felt like teeth moving in...and when I rubbed the teejel on, it made a difference-he slept through for the first time.
I remember waking up thinking that I didn't hear him, and when I checked up on him he was blissfully asleep (catching up on some much needed z's)
I have also noticed that when I dont rub his gums with something, he is restless and doesn't sleep, and doesn't want to feed properly.

Hi Lollipop, how do you know if they are definately teething (besides drooling and sucking on everything) This is my first baby and not really sure what to look for. Don't want to rub powders/gel on her gums if it is not a teething thing.

I have been using pansoral for teething, and it works much better than teejel for my little man...he is so cute when he sees me with the tube, he opens his mouth wide and wait for me to rub his gums...

but the gels and things for teething is really trial and error, what works for me, wont work for someone else...for example someone I know said they tried everything and the only thing that worked was teething powder (Ashton and Parsons) mixed to paste with panado syrup...

My LO is also waking up more during the night-he used to sleep through, and I thought that he is hungry-but he wont really feed, so rubbed his gums and hey presto-back to sleep!

She is on solids already and she doesn't really wake up for a feeding during the night...she more restless than anything else. Will check with the paed - she is due for a check-up in 2 weeks...I will just have to hang in there untill then.

Madelaine maybe it's time to speak to your paed about introducing solids if you haven't already. My paed told me that when my LG (similar in age to your baby) starts waking at night, if she's hungry, it's time to start solids. We started this week. But I think it's best to try the teething stuff first (I use teejel - works brilliantly) and if that doesn't work maybe just phone your paed.
