I think my baby maybe teething, but I’m not sure. How can I tell? Every time he cries he grabs his mouth, and my wife says that it looks like a tooth could be coming in. If He is teething, can anyone give me some advice please? He is almost 4 months.
Teething baby…?
It definitely could be teething. If he is irritable, and unhappy, then that is probably it. Look at his gums, are they red and/or swollen?
The best things I have learned with my two are baby Tylenol(a life saver!), Hylands Teething Tablets, and let him chew/suck on a wet wash cloth that has been put in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or so. All of these will soothe the gums, but not totally get rid of the pain. You may be in for a few sleepless nights.
Four months is not too early for teething. My son got his first tooth at two months old.
Good luck!!
Reply:You could wet a clean cloth with cold water and let him suck on it and give him a proper dose of baby tylenol.
Reply:try giving him a ring toy. Or Nook to gum on.
Reply:Early teething is normal for babies, and your baby is one of them. U need to buy your baby a teether that can be bought in any department store in baby sections. When my baby boy is in stage of teething, i let the teether put in the ref (freezer) and when it's hard i let my son play with it and biting it help him to ease the pain. Good Luck. Try it urself.
Reply:Go to the grocery store or any health food store and ask for Hyland's Teething Tablets. I swear you will see a difference. They help calm your baby and there is less irritation. They will sleep better also.
He is teething, it sure sounds like it.
Good luck to you.
Reply:They have teetheing rings that you can buy. Also I would not use a washcloth because strands might come off and choke the baby. Check with doctor and he might give you some numbing medicine for your baby
Reply:Infant Tylenol, Baby Orajel, and probably too young to hold a cooling teething ring but can try it.
Reply:4 months is a little early for teething. Have you had a feel around in there? Normally if they are getting teeth their gums will have a "mushy" feel and sometimes you can feel a lump of the tooth coming through. Babies get used to the pain of teething so don't stress too much. Baby tylenol and teething tablets work well and give him lot's of cold things to chew on that won't break into small pieces (frozen bagels until he chews them too much and then replace, etc.....). Hope that helps.
Reply:Your baby needs something to chew on. My kids always seemed to like the teething toys that have water in them and you can freeze them. There are also hard biscuits for teething babies. They are messy, but my kids loved them.
Reply:my daughter did the same thing. She actually started teething at four months, but nothing actually popped through until around 9 months. Check his mouth for bumps on his gums, sometimes the area looks a little white. If you're not sure where the pain is in your baby, go to your local drug store and get teething tablets. You put 2 or 3 in the baby's mouth and they dissolve instantly and numb the entire mouth. I find them to be more helpful for the child because of the fact they numb the whole mouth. give him a cold wet washcloth to chew on- wet the cloth and put it in the freezer for 15-30 minutes as that will soothe his pain. You can also give him some infant tylenol for pain control. If nothing else works, take him to his pediatrician. He may have a sore throat. (we just went through that 2 weeks ago) good luck, and I hope your little one feels better soon!
Reply:Drooling is a big sign as well as wanting to chew on his toys. Touch his gums and if they are hard, then he's teething. Infant Tylenol helps and Hyland teething gel.
Reply:I have a five month old who is teething. He likes to chew on a bib or a damp washcloth and often his fingers.
Another thing that soothes him sometimes is my rubbing his gums with my finger (make sure your hands are clean of course).
Reply:A good teething thing is to take a clean wash cloth, get it wet, put it in the freezer to harden, and then let them chew on it. I tried EVERYTHING and this was the the only thing that worked....

Teething Tablets????????
I have a 5 month old who is teething. I have been told go to WalMart and get her teething tablets. But have no luck finding such a do-hicky thing........lol What the heck are they and are they even available in Canada?
Teething Tablets????????
I used them with both of my kids and they worked better then everything else. I have only been able to find them at Walgreens. Its just a little bottle and you give them like 2-3 tablets at a time. They dissolve really fast and work really great. I honestly dont even know how they work, but they do! And the best part is that they are all natural so you can give them more often them you can other medicine
Reply:hiland's or hyland's teething tablets. i would search for them online. you could probably order them there. as for teething, buy a child's battery operated or electric toothbrushes and turn it on and hold it in his mouth and on his gums. my babies LOVED it when they were teething.
Reply:Try target. They work great

Teething question?
My chihuahua is teething and I noticed recently that she moves her bottom jaw back and forth (while her top jaw remains stable) almost like she is grinding teeth? Is that normal for teething?
Also note she is not eating when she does this.
Teething question?
My chihuahua is also teething right now too. This is normal. I asked the vet about it and he said to just get her lots of strong chew toys.
Reply:sounds like teething to me.
Reply:Have the vet check her bite next time your there. Make sure you provide her lots of safe chew toys right now.
Reply:Yes, it's normal. She's using her lower jaw to try to break the teeth through the skin covering them. She doesn't eat because her mouth is painful. Give her a raw carrot to chew on. It will help the teeth to cut through and provide cold to the sore areas in her mouth.
Reply:yes this is normal. like when a baby gets the first teeth. get her some chew toys that you can freeze. or ice. i did with my baby pitbull. she loved it. it numbs the jaw, and the reason she is rocking her jaw is she can feel the tooth
Reply:Call your vet about it but she is probably teething. Until then let her chew on a carrot.
Also note she is not eating when she does this.

Teething Question???
What is the BEST stuff to use for teething pain...Orajel Swabs, Teething tablets???? I have already tried Tylenol and doesn't seem to work.
Teething Question???
too much orajel can be poisionus, a doctor told me that and told me to use teething tablets which work instantly. i suggest them.
Reply:I was nursing my son when I was using Orajel and it made him so mad he wouldn't eat! He would turn his head from me and scream. From that point on I only used Tylenol. If it was really bothering him or he was really in discomfort I gave him a baby toothbrush.
He could hold it and soothe his own gums. He never liked the teething rings or any of that. Although, I have noticed him with a cheapy ring ($1) from Target. But, by far the toothbrush always works for sore gums!
Reply:when my daughter was teething and I put orajels and things on her gums she cried even more not sure why but I think it caused more discomfort a very cold teething ring worked best not frozen just very cold and soft teething toys
Reply:Our pediatrician said to use Motrin (lasts longer, better pain killer) and to use cold things that are good to chew.
She said that all that stuff like Orajel just washes off. It doesn't last long in terms of managing pain, and it can really upset their tummies.
And she doesn't have anything good to say about teething tablets, either.
But a cold, wet washcloth is good. Or a frozen bagel. Or cold carrot nubs, if the teeth haven't popped through yet...
Reply:Orajel overnight, it has 3% more numbing agent than the regular.
Reply:there really isnt alot you can do just have teethers handy. Good thing is they only last a few days at a time
Reply:I did Orajel first and then Motrin since it lasts longer than Tylenol. Of course, accompanied by lots of TLC. Sometimes I offered a frozen washcloth, but my kids didn't really chew on them. Never heard of teething tablets (kids 2 1/2 and 5).
Reply:Teething tablet never did diddly for my kids. With orajel you run the risk of your baby being allergic to it, very strange stuff that topical numbing agent.
Tylenol in the right dose, every 4 hours staggered with Advil every 6 hours is THE best thing I found for my kids. Do both, it's the best way to keep aches and pains away and keeps the baby comfy. The Advil line of medicines has one for babies 6 to 23 months.
There are these awesome things that you can put frozen fruit or ice cubes into, mesh baggie pacifier kind of thing, and your baby can get the benefit of the cold goodies. Munchkin fresh food feeder is what it's called. For sale at walmart and babies r us, I always bought them 2 at a time. Take a look at it here: http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.a...
My youngest started teething at 3 months had four teeth by 8 months! And he never got one at a time, he did them in pairs and was miserable without tylenol, advil and frozen fruits to suck on.
best of luck to you mom!

Unusual crying ... teething?
My little one (4 months today) has been very fussy as of late ... Yesterday, she burst out crying in the grocery store, which is very unusual; but, she calmed when I picked her up. She didn't have a temp and the rest of the day was "ok". She woke me up screaming tonight, which she never does ... Again, no temp; I nursed her back to sleep. Just wondering if this is common with teething. She's been drooling for weeks and the world is a giant chew toy for her. I know teething causes fussiness, but this sounds more like pain crying. I'm calling the doc first thing in the morning, but am just curious if this behavior sounds like possible teething?? Anyone have any similar experiences?
Unusual crying ... teething?
It very well could be. 4 months is usually the start of teething but doesn't necessarily mean some are going to pop out yet. My daughter was drooling and chewing on everything but then didn't actually get a tooth till 9months. my son was 8mths.
I would try and give her some baby paracetamol if she wakes up with the pain crying again to help her settle and sleep better. If she does settle you know it was pain, if she doesn't its something else.
Other signs of teething can be runny poo, flushed cheeks or tugging at their ears. Also check her gums to see if they are red, inflamed or raised or if there a any noticeably bigger white bumps coming through. Try and get her to open her mouth but tickling or something and check her mouth this way.
Best of luck
Reply:If your little one is teething, maybe her ears and jaw are hurting too, My boy has 8 teeth and at the moment he is getting his i teeth and they are knocking him for 6, he wont sleep at night, cries to get into bed with me, wakes up horrendously early and is tired and cranky all day long, he is having trouble eating so I took him to a Doctor because it was just taking a bit longer to get better and she said that teething can cause referred pain through the jaw, down the neck and ear, so when ever they swallow it hurts, or if they don't swallow for a while and then do swallow it hurts real bad. When babies are hurting and they can't tell you they can get very upset and sooky la la. Monitor her and by all means take her to the Doctor just in case it is something else.
Hope that helps.
Reply:my son started teethin at four months (now six months and has two teeth pokin out) and was so crabby i couldn't believe it. he want from bouncin happy baby boy to a devil child that made me want to pull my hair out.
teething is pain. you gotta remember that those teeth have to rip through the skin in baby's gum in order to pop out. i'd try some sort of oral pain reliever for her and see if that helps.
if you don't want to use somethin like baby orajel (there's a limit on how much you can use in 24 hours) try hyland's teething tablets. they are homeopathic and you can pretty much use them as much as you want and not have to worry about an overdose.
but yes definitely call you doctor about the screamin. it's exactly what i would do. it's better to err on the side of caution then to not do anythin about it just cause she's teethin.
remember that some of the things that go on during a teething could be caused by somethin other then teethin (like the mild fever they get and the runny poop).
i call my sons doctor EVERY time somethin like that happens. yes, some people would say i'm freakin out for no reason but i would rather catch somethin serious early on then let it progress.
good luck with the teething! you'll be so excited when you actually see a tooth pokin through!
Reply:Sounds like possible teething to me... I could always tell when my daughter was teething by how often and how loud she cried. Mothers intuition. She started about 4 months to.
Reply:Has she gotten her 4 month shots yet?

Reply:Tell you what, go out to a Fred Meyer's or a health food store- try out Hyland's Teething Tablets. They're homeopathic, so they're really safe- and they're the only thing that worked on my youngest son. The other thing you can try is Gripe Water, also available at either like a Freddie's or health/herbal store- both of these things worked on my kids. Good luck, I know how horrible this situation feels- just remember, you're not failing your child, they just can't express their annoyance in a positive way yet (I know, easier said than done, huh?) ;)
Reply:I had the same problem...its going to be alright and you are doing the right thing by putting her down.
Have you tried the oraljel in the swabs...its worked better for us. We also do the teething tablets and the tylonel at the same time, nothing wrong with that. Another thing we tryed and it worked for a bit is the homeopathic teething drops from gentle naturals at target. Give her a biter cookie, I know they are messy but it helps. freeze a paci, or get a damp washcloth, put in the freezer for 20 in a ziploc bag and give the wash cloth to her.
good luck
Reply:It is absolutely draining, I know. You seemed to have tried a lot already. I am right there with you. My second child went through a terrible time and I just grinned and beared it, whislt shoving syringe-fuls of calpol down his throat to try to let him sleep more. It turned out many teeth came through at once so it must have been horrid for him too! Don't worry, It will soon be a distant blurrrr........
Good luck!
Reply:Making sure your hands are clean, sometimes massaging the gums helps, but also if giving the teething medicine, don't give too much it can upset the stomach. The teething ring should be cool, not frozen. I've let the teething baby chew(they can't puncture the skin if they have no teeth) on your finger, just make sure your hands are clean and free of lotions or soaps or other chemicals.
Reply:I used to put the wash cloth in fridge and then give it to her to chew, also if I lay her on my tummy she would usually settle for a while.
Reply:Maybe you should contact the child's doctor and tell the nurse all of the things you have done. See if they have an final alternative.

Teething this early??/?
I was just wondering before I call his doctor, my son.. whose just 2 months old is having some problems, i guess you could say. He's constantly pull at his mouth, putting his fingers inside like rubbing his gums? I don't really know how to explain it.. and every 3 to 4 hours he eats formula, when it gets close to the time.. he starts crying(as usual) like he's hungry but when you try to give him the bottle, he won't suck the nipple of it. My mom thinks he's teething? could he be teething at 2 months old???? my doctors office doesn't open until 1pm.. so, I thought I would give Yahoo Answers a shot! thanks so much!
Teething this early??/?
YES!! he is teething its ok. Every baby is different. my daughter had her first tooth at 3 months. just give him things to suck on he will be ok. thy also have some creme to put on his gums in the pharmacy area just ask.
Reply:sounds like teething to me. I was born with teeth.
Reply:yes he can be. i would give him a cold teething ring and stock up on teething tablets and oregel baby. good luck.
Reply:Absolutely! I have a nephew that was actually born with his teeth already coming through. In today's world, I guess anything is possible.
Reply:Sure, he could be teething-and it sounds like he is! My girls got their teeth really early and I remember reading that some babies are even born with teeth coming in!
Poor little guy-let him chew on a cool washcloth or put a teething toy in the fridge-the kind that are filled with water are good.
Good luck!

Reply:no my son is three months and loves to suck his fingers . i think it is more this . I nurse and he will try to suck me and his fingers and then once he gets his fingers he drops my like a hot potato
Reply:I wouldn't think that they would teeth at 2 months. But maybe
try wiping his gums with a cool wet cloth and see if that helps.
Reply:Yes he could be teething and probably is. I experienced the same thing with my kid and the doctor said that although she wouldn't be getting teeth for a while she could very well be teething.
Reply:He can be teething but it can be other things too. A possibility could be an ear infection. A lot of babies will refuse the bottle if they have one because the sucking on the nipple causes discomfort. His jaw could hurt. I know you said you were going to call the doctor and that is just what I would suggest. Good luck!! Oh yeah, and babies CAN teeth as early as 2 months. Some are even born with teeth. Check to see if he has a fever too.. Teething may cause a VERY low grade fever, but they usually don't. Any time I talked to my daughter's pediatrician they always had me check for a fever for that reason..
Reply:He could be teething, my son started to do the same thing around that time, but he's to small for teeting rings, so what I do is I rub my finger around his gums and i also give him a cold rag to suck on. It really calms him down, when he gets a little older you can give him a teether.
Reply:gurl i seen infants born w/teeth. So he probably is teething. Teething can cause fevers, so watch for that.If it's painful for him to eat, get some baby oral jel, put it on his gums a few mins. before he eats, or give a cold wash towel, in a zip lock bag, or get some teething rings, put them in the fridge. But before givein him any medications make sure it's safe to give to yo 2mon. old son. Good luck

Reply:Possible, yes. Some babies (as mentioned) are born with teeth, some start teething as early as 10 weeks. My daughter is almost 4 1/2 months and drools like a faucet and sucks on her fingers throughout the day...The doc said this is normal for her age and in fact said that she isn't teething, but doctors aren't always right. Could be that your son is a fast learning, and has figured out he has hands!! It's very fasinating to a baby when they discover them and can get them into their mouth...so, possibly teething, possibly a fast learner!!
The painful part of teething is the cutting of the teeth, so what you can do is rub your finger along the gums to see if you feel a tooth cutting (coming in)...that's what I was told at our 4 month appt.
Good luck!
Reply:Yes. He maybe teething...my mother told me I cut my first tooth at 3 months old. Try baby orajel,teething tablets, or teething liquid. You buy all of these at your local pharmicy.

Reply:no my son is three months and loves to suck his fingers . i think it is more this . I nurse and he will try to suck me and his fingers and then once he gets his fingers he drops my like a hot potato
Reply:I wouldn't think that they would teeth at 2 months. But maybe
try wiping his gums with a cool wet cloth and see if that helps.
Reply:Yes he could be teething and probably is. I experienced the same thing with my kid and the doctor said that although she wouldn't be getting teeth for a while she could very well be teething.
Reply:He can be teething but it can be other things too. A possibility could be an ear infection. A lot of babies will refuse the bottle if they have one because the sucking on the nipple causes discomfort. His jaw could hurt. I know you said you were going to call the doctor and that is just what I would suggest. Good luck!! Oh yeah, and babies CAN teeth as early as 2 months. Some are even born with teeth. Check to see if he has a fever too.. Teething may cause a VERY low grade fever, but they usually don't. Any time I talked to my daughter's pediatrician they always had me check for a fever for that reason..
Reply:He could be teething, my son started to do the same thing around that time, but he's to small for teeting rings, so what I do is I rub my finger around his gums and i also give him a cold rag to suck on. It really calms him down, when he gets a little older you can give him a teether.
Reply:gurl i seen infants born w/teeth. So he probably is teething. Teething can cause fevers, so watch for that.If it's painful for him to eat, get some baby oral jel, put it on his gums a few mins. before he eats, or give a cold wash towel, in a zip lock bag, or get some teething rings, put them in the fridge. But before givein him any medications make sure it's safe to give to yo 2mon. old son. Good luck

Reply:Possible, yes. Some babies (as mentioned) are born with teeth, some start teething as early as 10 weeks. My daughter is almost 4 1/2 months and drools like a faucet and sucks on her fingers throughout the day...The doc said this is normal for her age and in fact said that she isn't teething, but doctors aren't always right. Could be that your son is a fast learning, and has figured out he has hands!! It's very fasinating to a baby when they discover them and can get them into their mouth...so, possibly teething, possibly a fast learner!!
The painful part of teething is the cutting of the teeth, so what you can do is rub your finger along the gums to see if you feel a tooth cutting (coming in)...that's what I was told at our 4 month appt.
Good luck!
Reply:Yes. He maybe teething...my mother told me I cut my first tooth at 3 months old. Try baby orajel,teething tablets, or teething liquid. You buy all of these at your local pharmicy.
