How to know if your baby is teething?

Excellent! Thanks, will get the app installed too

You get a book & also an app (which I have on my Galaxy Tablet) My son will be entering his 10th one in the next 3 weeks

Developmental wonder weeks, that sounds interesting, where can I read a bit more on that?

There is usually a growth spurt around 3-4 months & babies also go through wonder weeks (10 fussy (developmental) periods) in the 1st 2yrs of their lives.

They do look very cute with those toothies but the longer it takes to come out, the better

Hello there, thanks for the reply.

I cant really say he's been irritable, but I have been struggling with him a little at night which is a bit out of the norm, he was always a fairly good sleeper. I have tried to see if anything is under his gums but in all honesty I think i dont quite see anything, so most likely he is just doing what babies do.

I do look forward to the little pearly whites coming in, they look so cute with the two bottom ones

Thanks again!

Hi there Carien

Usually at 3-4months babies start exploring with their hands & mouth.
They will take EVERYTHING to their mouths. There will be a lot of drooling as well

Signs of teething are usually a bit of irritability, biting(especially when toothie is under the gum & you can see the white part), some babies do get a slight fever & runny tummy(which is usually due to all the extra saliva they swallowing) & of course swollen gums and yes also much more drooling, doesn't sleep well & might go off food(if they are over 6months & on solids) and will increase their fluid in take.

Hello Ladies,

I could not find a "teething" forum, so hoping someone might see my post here and be able to help me.

My little guy will be 4 months old next week and he is mouthing absolutely everything. He is drooling and anything that he possibly can put in his mouth he does put in his mouth.

Now I know this is how babies make themselves familiar with their environment, just wanting to know if there is anything specific I can look out for that says he is teething...besides teeth showing up of course.

Appreciate any help thanks ladies!
