Son is teething?

my 3 month old has been teething for the past 3 or 4 weeks, there is the white bump on his gum and drool and red cheeks and gross poo and all that stuff. I ws rubbing teething gel onto his gum and it feels really rough, not smooth like it was. How much longer will it be now that its rough?

Son is teething?
Unfortunately, it could be a while. My daughter's teeth have come close to coming in 3-4 times, I could see it and everything, then a few days later she's not so irritable and it's not there anymore. My friend had it happen w/ all 4 of her kids. My brat is 7 mo now and still has no teeth. The drooling is usually pretty constant starting around that age and will really increase when teething is worst. I know how you feel, maybe you'll be lucky and he'll get one sooner instead of later :) Good luck!
Reply:My oldest got his bottom 2 teeth when he was 2 months old, but my younger two kids didn't get theirs till they were 9 and 10 months old, yet showed signs of teething for months. It's hard to tell, each baby is different. I wouldn't get him too used to teething gel though... he can build a resistance to it. Try letting him chew on a wet washcloth... that worked for my babies better than any teethers or gels.
Reply:3 MONTHS OLD.. it might not be a tooth





It might be something called a milk pearl





I'd take him into your Ped and ask. Milk pearls will go away on there own and they do the same thing as teething.. It's like a HARD white head on his gums..


Uncomfortable and annoying but will go away in a week or so.
Reply:It shouldn't take too long. My son was teething when he was 3-4 months old. I think it took him almost a 2 months just to get the bottom ones out.
