my grandaughter 8 months old is teething the twitching of her head ive never heard of with teething we have a family history of epilipsy and it looked like a piti small seizure we brought her into the hospital she was fine ,have any of you had the preasure of teething cause head twiching
thank you very worried grand ma
Granddaughter is teething she also developed twitching of her head dr says its the pressure has anyone heard?
I'd make an appointment with a neurologist just to be on the safe side.
Mention the family history to the doctor. They should take it VERY seriously if they know.
NO, I've never heard of that either.
Reply:Teething does cause sinus discomfort and she may be feeling it in her ears. The doctor can check her ears for fluid build up. Since there is family history of epilepsy you are right not to ignore it and I don't blame you for being worried.
Reply:get a second opinion right away, if it is something serious it better to catch it now, go to a doctors office and get referred to a specialist don't go to the E.R. they only treat and street people they don't help if it is not a life or death situation

Teething already?
What are signs of teething with babys i have a 4 1/2 month old baby and latley she has been chewing on her fingers really hard and has been getting up about three 0 clock in the morning when she usally sleeps through the night. Is this the start of teething.
Teething already?
she could be teething. my kids started doing that around the same time. get her a cold washcloth or a teething ring. good luck!
Reply:Probably, lots of babies already have teeth at 4 monthes. Mine did.
Reply:Yup, that is probably it. You may not be able to see or feel any teeth in there for like a month or so, it takes a while. but that is what my son did.
Reply:teething symtoms can come and go even before a tooth comes. If you are first time mom it is hard to tell. I did not tell until I say a white spot on the gum line. If she will let you stick your finger in there and feel around. She most likely is some baies start teething earlier than others.
Reply:i would say yes from the info your giving. you can help with the itchy gums by taking a face cloth, wetting it, and sticking it in the freezer. after it is frozen (not solid) give it to baby. the cold and texture of cloth will make her feel better. also, you can check her gums to see how she is doing by looking for any white on the gums or bumps on the front of her gums (that will be her teeth coming up) on the bottom they always seem to come first. good luck if she is teething you are just in the beginning of a lot of sleep interrupted nights.
Reply:It very likely is teething. However, she may not get her teeth for some time yet. My little one started "chewing" at 5 months and just got her first 2 teeth at 14 months. If it seems to be bothering her, ask your pediatrician about giving her a little Tylenol at night.
Reply:My son was 4 months when his first tooth came in (bottom front right).
Good luck!
Reply:Yup! Our youngest got her first teeth at 4 months (on the bottom jaw) She didn't get the third tooth until 6 months though.

Teething 9mo. old?
my daughter is 9mo. and her gums have been swolllen for a couple months now and she has been teething and last week she had a fever for 2 days really cranky chewing on everything and then this week she has done the same exact thing but still no teeth have popped through how long does it usually take after they really start teething with a fever and everything i feel so bad for her i wish they would just come through already
Teething 9mo. old?
According to my mom I didn't get teeth until 2 weeks AFTER my first birthday. This was due to my thick gums. I would highly recommend instead of the tylenol try Hylands or Humphrey's Teething Tablets. Also, if she's already eating solids, try to give her one of those teething mesh thingys that you can put fruit in it. You can put a piece of cantelope or apple that is REALLY cold and have her chew on it. It will help keep the inflammation down. Teething bisquits help as well. If you haven't done so already, get an infant toothbrush (it has nubs on it instead of bristles) and brush her teeth twice a day and put some orajel on it and it will stimulate the gums so that the tooth can errupt quicker.
I hope this helps!
Reply:no
Reply:Whoa that is late. I started walking at 10mo.
Reply:yeah like when they reach a year then they will start coming out. one thing that will make your baby relax is teething toys, and baby orajel. that will numb her gums. also try not to touch her gums because she might get infected.
Reply:teeth usually start coming in around 6 months, some earlier, some later. I would expect hers to come in any day now if she is already 9 mos.
Reply:they'll pop through soon...give the kid some tylenol and a teething ring. you'll both get through it.
Reply:every person is different so who is to tell. good luck to you and daughter
Reply:Maybe you should see your doctor or dentist.
Just to be sure they're coming in right?
Reply:you need to take a clean wash cloth and tie an ice cube in a knot and give it to baby to bite on. it will sooth the gums and help the teeth come in
Reply:teeth actually start developing while your baby's in the womb, when tooth buds form in the gums. Teeth break through one at a time over a period of months, and often — but not always — in this order: First the bottom two middle teeth, then the top two middle ones, then the ones along the sides and back. They may not all come in straight, but don't worry — they usually straighten out over time.
Reply:Every child is different. The only thing you can really do is give her a childs pain reliever. There are many over the counter options. Also try freezing a teething ring..they really like gumming these and the cold numbs the pain
Reply:my son is 6 months and has been doing the same thing for over a month with still no teeth. They tell me it could be months.
On another note: if you use teething tablets, check the ingreditants VERY carefully. My pediatrician was telling us that the most common tablet(sold at walmart) contains belladonna, which is poisonous!!! And coffee!! So read the list of ingredients before you give them to your daughter
good luck!!
Reply:Some are late teethers. Wet a washcloth and put in the freezer for 5 minutes and let her chew on it. It will comfort her chewing need and the cold will help with the swelling and pain.
for you just be patient and loving.
Reply:it will take a while dear.
Reply:I have found that with my 8 month old giving her tylenol then a cold teething ring helps her a lot.

Teething? Something else? My usually very happy baby has not let me put him down all day. If I do he starts?
bawling, screaming, and tears start even streaming down his face (i've never even seen him do this before!) I can't tell if it is teeth or something else. He doesnt have a temperature and he has drooled for as long as I can remember. Anything else you can think of? If he is teething, what's the best thing for him besides teething rings? I don't have any orgel for tonight so, that will have to wait until tomorrow.
Teething? Something else? My usually very happy baby has not let me put him down all day. If I do he starts?
Hylands teething tabs- everyone I know that has used them has loved them- they are homeopathic and completly safe and effective
Reply:Is he chewing on his fingers?
It won't help tonight, but a friend of mine had the same issue. She swears by Gripe Water.
Reply:Do you have any other pain relief for babies? Like the liquid paracetamol we have in the UK? It wouldn't do any harm.
It could be many things - change in routine, separation anxiety, he may be coming down with a cold even but not showing it yet. Or it may simply be that he's discovered that if he does this, he gets to be held close and that is what he wants today. He may have a tummy ache, or a pain somewhere else that you can't see. I assume he's on solids now? Is he having a growth spurt and hungrier than usual?
My son is clingy and tearful a day or two before some virus or other appears. He's 5 now and its still a good indicator that he's off-colour.
It makes for a tiring day and probably night too. Keep comforting and cuddling and he should get through it.
Reply:I bet he is teething. Give him some type of pain reliever and then make a bottle with ice and some juice or water or both. The cold really helps and sometimes my son would just sorta play with it because it was cold and helped. Just hold him and comfort him through this, it will be like this for a while. My youngest gets really bad when teething and so I have come up with little ways to help him. I will tell you though that some days I never get up because he is only happy when I hold him when he is teething, Good luck and hope he feels better soon.
Reply:Until you can get to the store and buy teething tablets- they dissolve in his mouth, popsicles, really cold wash cloth to chew on, if he's nursing? you. Infant Tylenol is helpful but can't be used long term.

Teething... ARGH!!!?
I am so worried about my nearly 6 month old daughter... she is teething really badly and wont take a bottle at all. Today she has only had 200mls of milk, which is only 5-6 ounces for the entire day. She is having solids three times a day but I read she is supposed to have something like 500-600mls of milk per day. She is up all night for the last week and is miserable all the time. Nap times are also troubled and she is a completely different child... I am feeling so teary because I don't know what to do. I have tried everything and she has been living off Calpol, Bonjela and Teething powders... Do you think she needs to take more milk??? I have taken her to the doc and they think to seem she is OK - is this all normal? I can hear her stiring again and she has only just gone down for the night.... ARGH!!!! Help please.....
Teething... ARGH!!!?
My son is almost 7 months old and has 4 teeth. What I found that helps is this...
Night time baby Orajel (comes with a finger fitted gum massager for EASY application)
Lavender bath soap routine before bed
And frequent feedings
I feed my son cereal twice a day and a jar of baby food once a day. He eats 4oz every 2-3 hours still but isn't an overweight baby. I guess it just depends on the child. With all the crawling my son does no wonder, he's burning it all off. lol He rarely ever eats 6 oz at a time cause when he does it comes right back up.
If you're doc thinks she's ok then that's fine. Teething is not only rough on the child but also the parents. I know that every time my child would get a tooth it was a week of getting up at least once a night.
It's pretty normal how she's acting, but not necessarily how much milk she's intaking. I do recommend getting her that night time baby orajel cause that helped with my son. Maybe she'll eat more if it's numbed better? Also let her chew on lots and lots of teething rings cause that'll make the process go by faster.
ALSO, no one told me about nipple sizes I had to find out for myself. grrr You may want to go up to a higher level of flow. When I changed that and started using the lavender soup my son began to sleep through the time. He was 5 months old, boy did that suck. Then teething happened so I got the night time kind of orajel and all turned out well.
Reply:sorry cant help, experiencing similar - post back how u get on
Reply:Get her a cold rag and tie ice in it. Or get a cold ice cube and put on her gums. Also give her a cold nipple. If not get her some medicine from the doctor.
Reply:As long as she gets some milk in, I wouldn't worry. If she eats baby cereal/rice, mix it with her formula to get more in her. Try making the bottles cold. My son always took his bottles very warm until he started to teeth. The coldness soothes their gums and feels good.
Try giving her a dose of Infant Motrin an hour before bedtime. It lasts 8 hours and it'll kick in before she goes down. Teething tablets sold at Walmart work too. MUCH easier then trying to put baby oragel on their gums. They dissolve instantly after you stick them in their mouth. They are tiny tablets (smaller then birth control pills).
I know it's tough, but good luck!
Reply:Babies wont starve themselves. My little one actually started teething at 3.5 months and there was a week I thought she wasn't hardly getting anything in her. But she made it through and started eating better. You just have to wait it out...and try and make them as comfortable as possible. My little girl is now 5 months old. It seems the teething has let up...if that's possible...or maybe it's just not bothering her as much. I guess there are just stages. I tried swabs that you rub the meds on their gums...seemed to work a little.
Reply:This will not sound very PC,but my mother used to buy a small bottle of whisky and rub a tiny bit on my brother and sisters gums,and she said it always worked to numb the teething bit.Personally i am a bit sceptical,but my brothers and sisters are not,all of them having children and me not.
Reply:give your child, aston and parsons. i used these for both my children and they are great! they sooth the gums and the stomach! they help the child to calm down. here is a web link for more info:
http://www.expresschemist.co.uk/product_...
you can also buy them in boots!
they work really well and very quickly! even if they dont work for your baby, use them yourself as they will help you to calm down!!!
i am not sure if these are the powders you have tried already but they have worked for everyone i know!!!
have you also tried giving your daughter milk off a spoon or a srynge? this might help as there will be nothing resting on the gum! dont give her anything frozen as you will burn her delicate skin around her mouth and the coldness of it is not good for her stomach!
hope this helps! and remember this time will pass eventually!!
Reply:Both my kids were horrible monsters when teething. The only thing that we found that worked was these little disolvable tablets called Hyland teething tablets (www.hylands.com/products/teething.php) They were a God send for us and the little monsters... There's nothing worse that feeling like there is nothing you can do for the little one, there worth a shot...
Reply:This is going to sound crazy, but it works. When my first child was teething my mom rubbed tequila on her gums and it worked miracles. I now have another and will definitely be trying that with her once she starts teething. Of course, your'e only rubbing it on there gums so it wont harm them.
Reply:If she is eating solids, then make her solids up with formula - so you could make up baby rice with a few ounces of formula, or make a sauce with formula. That would get a few more ounces into her.
I put my baby in his cot with a teether in her hand, and then he can chew that. Chewing on plastic is the only thing that calms him down.
I feel for you - I am going through the same thing at the moment. But it won't last long. Those teeth will be through soon.

Teething biscuits that melt in the mouth?
My daughter is almost 6 months old and is teething as well as being very interested in food.
I want to give her teething biscuits but I dont want to give her ones that she could choke on. What are the best ones out there?
Please, no answers about not using them.
Teething biscuits that melt in the mouth?
I give my daughter rice rusks (not sure if it's spelled right) and she does well with them. Of course with any teething foods you need to make sure they are well supervised, but she really likes them and I haven't had problems with them. They dissolve and taste like kix cereal. My daughter is 6 months as well. As long as she is supervised you are fine. They basically end up being like baby cereal when dissolved. I've never had a problem with them.
Reply:arrowroot cookies are really good,they come in banana or just regular. my son loved them for teething purposes.
Reply:I bought these rice rusks today that say they melt in the mouth, safe for baby starting solids. Well, I give him one (he is 7 months) and a piece breaks off in his mouth. I pulled it out right away. It was not melting, it was big/small enough for him to choke on! I was pissed. Anyway, i'm going to try something different like good old biscuits or frozen banana.
Reply:arrowroot biscuits, melt in the mouth. They used to be in the baby food aisle of the grocery store (my youngest is 4, so it's been a while). They're made by Nabisco I think.
Although they melt in your mouth, they also break easy, so be careful and never leave her alone with them. She could still get a big piece off and choke before it melts.
Another great thing for teething is put a frozen banana in one of those nylon teething pouch things. The cold soothes sore gums and the piece of banana that come through the mesh are too small to choke on and by the time she gets it through the mesh it's not frozen anymore.

Teething advice?
I give my daughter Motrin, teething tablets, orajel. What else, besides those things, can I do for her? She doesn't care for her teething ring. She's 18 months old.
Teething advice?
Since she is 18 months old, she has a molar or two (I am guessing).
My daughter LOVES refrigerated bananas. She chomps on them and they cool her gums down.
Try it.
Reply:let her chew on something soft but firm
Reply:ice cubes in washcloths, hard crackers, advil if she's in pain, and popsicles.
Reply:fingers works..my son loved that..just make sure your hands are clean.
Reply:Take a Popsicle stick and gently rub on any gums that are still covering the top of the teeth. (DO NOT SCRAPE!!)
Reply:I kept a stack of frozen wet washcloths ready. My kids loved to chew on them. It really helped with the teething pain.

Reply:Bare with her it wont last forever, and nothing gets rid of the pain for long !! I rubbed Whiskey on my kids gums, your mama probably did too, it is definatly old school.
Reply:You can get those mesh things that have a handle. They are usually used to put fruit inside so the baby can chew and not choke on the fruit. You can put an ice cube in there.
I wouldn't give her Motrin. That seems a little much.
Reply:cold washcloth,popsicles,childrens tylenol-thats all i used for my son

i used the same thing when my wizdom teeth came in. trust me. it helps so much.
Reply:if your daughter is breastfed you can give her breastmilk freezes ( homemade) you can do the same with homo milk and or formula, put the milk in an ice cube tray until frozen get one of them net like things that stops large pieces from getting out and chokin your little one and give it to her to naw on, You can buy sugar less freezes from all stores and give them to her. Frozen banana pieces works well.
Pretty much anything that is cold will work wonders. Mortin is an anti inflanatory which means it will take the swelling down in her gums and aswell as the pain it is better than tylenol.
There is a toy called the Super Yummy it is from discoverytoys and is about 13.00 or so and it is amazing for teething, it is red
Good luck
Reply:My daughter loved frozen apple and orange slices.
Good, messy (yes) but kept her from crying since her gums were numb from coldness.
18 months so she can eat them.
Reply:Zweback cookies (Nabisco ?) in the baby isle. My parents swear by them. My son didn't care for them but he's almost 17 months and isn't teething anymore--he was an early teether. Try it!
Reply:soft cold and chewy things like a cold banana or an ice pop
Reply:SUGAR TIT!! It is what my grandma and mom used. You get some sugar...put it in some kind of mesh cloth she can suck on and dip it in Rum. Not kidding it works like a charm...my daughter started teething 2 days after my husband got deployed and that was the only thing that worked.
Reply:I know a lot of people have already mentioned it, but the mesh thing. You can put ice chips, frozen banana, or another type of fruit. You can even freeze fruit juice and put in there. The frozen washcloths are great too. I also only used the night time baby oragel with mine. My oldest also did love those gerber biscuit things. Boy are they messy! Mine also really loved bath time, so while he was teething I used it to distract him. He was too busy having fun to notice the pain. Maybe let her do something fun like finger paints. You'll have a mess on your hands, but that beats hearing her cry and she has some good fun. Hope this helps!
Teething advice?
Since she is 18 months old, she has a molar or two (I am guessing).
My daughter LOVES refrigerated bananas. She chomps on them and they cool her gums down.
Try it.
Reply:let her chew on something soft but firm
Reply:ice cubes in washcloths, hard crackers, advil if she's in pain, and popsicles.
Reply:fingers works..my son loved that..just make sure your hands are clean.
Reply:Take a Popsicle stick and gently rub on any gums that are still covering the top of the teeth. (DO NOT SCRAPE!!)
Reply:I kept a stack of frozen wet washcloths ready. My kids loved to chew on them. It really helped with the teething pain.
Reply:Try giving her a popcicle
Reply:all u can do is let her bite something hard not too hard mind. mine had terrible time dring teething. best of luck
Reply:Bare with her it wont last forever, and nothing gets rid of the pain for long !! I rubbed Whiskey on my kids gums, your mama probably did too, it is definatly old school.
Reply:You can get those mesh things that have a handle. They are usually used to put fruit inside so the baby can chew and not choke on the fruit. You can put an ice cube in there.
I wouldn't give her Motrin. That seems a little much.
Reply:cold washcloth,popsicles,childrens tylenol-thats all i used for my son
