Teething...?

Teething...?
This sounds soooo familiar. I also have an 8 month old with no teeth. She has been drooling and waking up at night just screaming. Once I put some Oragel on her gums she screams even louder and then dead silence. That makes me feel so much better that her teeth were really the problem b/c the Oragel seems to make her sleep better. I also give her some Tylenol when she does this.





Also, look into buying a mesh bag with a handle on it from Munchkin ( I believe that is the spelling). I put frozen peaches in them and that way she can chew on something nutritious with out the worry of her choking on it. She loves it!





Good luck!
Reply:If she is drooling constantly or has her hands in her mouth alot. These are the 2 biggest signs. Gt her a teething toy and let her go at it. My daughter didn't get her first tooth until she was 10 months old. Also she might have a little temp and have some diahere (sp?) Not all kids have this, and she might be a little fussy.
Reply:Well, my case.....my son started drooling more than usual, and aggressively chewing things. Also he followed in his sisters footsteps and gets diarrhea for about five days before the tooth pops out.





Most pediatricians say that teething doesn't cause fever, but do a survey among mothers and most will agree it does.

good luck to you!

Reply:The longer it takes your baby to get her teeth the stronger her teeth will be so no worries there. Some babies don't have a hard time with teething at all and others, well they're just miserable. You can tell by running your fingers along her gums and sometimes you can see the little whities comming in under thier gums. As far as what to do for her, well, baby oragel is good as well as the old wet wascloth in the freezer thing. Frozen waffles are good and rubbery toys meant for babies. Good luck, could be a breeze.
Reply:My daughter (also 8 months) is finally cutting a tooth. She's been really drooly and chewing on everything for about 5 months, but this past week she's been fussier than normal and waking up at night. Give her a teething toy, they really help. If she's feverish, try some infant Tylonol. Orajel works for numbing the gums.
