reyden jr is 5 months and two days old now and he has started teething about a month and a half ago, he puts anything he grabs on his mouth. i change his pacifier twice already this month and when im carrying him on an upright position he "nibbles" on my shoulder.. my mom said to put butter on his gums... this will soothe him..

My son has been chewing on everything and drooling since about January and he has yet to cut any teeth but I know they will appear soon lol. He has been really crabby too, my daughter was the same way and she cut her first tooth at 6months.

it sounds like he is definately teething, my daughter was born on 2nd october and was the same as that for a few weeks before her teeth came through and hers were early - she got her first tooth (bottom left FANG!) on christmas day, just 12 weeks old! and got her second (top left fang) about a week or so after that,it is currently the only 2 teeth she has but she is now showing signs of teething again and her gums are white and ridged. another thing to look out for is unusual poop, during teething it is very common for poop to look and smell different from normal. i use ashton & parsons infant teething powders, and bonjela teething gel for my daughter and they seem to work, the powder is the best though, now she recognises it so when she is screaming in pain with her teeth, as soon as i bring that out she lays there silent, mouth open wide ready bless her :)

i have 2 boys and they all broke their teeth threw at totally different times....my first son who is now 5 broke his first tooth threw when he was a little over a year old.....my second son who will be three in may broke his first tooth threw at 6 months....and my 5 month old is teething badly....i look for him to break one anytime now....and their gums will swell and go down several times before they actually cut a tooth in most cases......it doesnt mean they are not teething it just means that they are working there way up threw the babys gums...

Diane - posted on 03/12/2010

My son is behaving the same way. He chews on his pacifier and his bottle a lot. The fingers are in his mouth constantly rubbing the gum and so are his wrists. He is constantly trying to pop all of the little hand in his mouth anf jus sucks away. His bib and his little rags are in his mouth sucking or rubbing away. When i use the rag to rub his gum, he is in heaven. He is drooling much more too. His gum at the front are a little bit swollen, so i guess i will jus have to wait and see the outcome.

the best solution when he is fussy and everything else fails is orajel orajel orajel.. my daughter was the same way, and when i started to use orajel she was back to being the good baby she is.. the other day, i i noticed a tooth is coming out!! so yes, i am sure ur son is teething.

Oh yeah! My son has been sucking his hands so intensely lately we can hear that sucking sound miles away!LOL! My first born (6 yrs ago) started drulling immensly around 3mths of age but didn't have a teeth come out before she was more than 16mths old! I've been told that the longer it takes for them to come in, the stronger the teeth will be. I don't know how true that is but my daughter is turning 7yrs old in a month and she still hasn't lost a baby tooth.I guess all we can do is be patient and wait ;)

My little one got her first tooth the day she turned 4 months and another a few days later! Both the bottom front incisors, just popped out so all good, the only sign was a confused Mum when she woke up even 2 hours then bam there it was!. Thanks for mentioning the molars I hadn't thought to look for those!

my daughter been doing the same, and when we went to the doctor for her shots, th e dr say that some bab ies start teething at 5 months and thats why they chewing on their hands.

My son Benjamin just had his first tooth come into view today.. 5 months 3 days old.it was a long time coming though this last week he was more fussy grabbing at his gums and looking at me with pain in his eyes but we got some teething gel and I have been rubbing it on his gums and he is happy. There also seems to be a larger increase in his neediness he wants to be held and breastfeed a lot more especially at night, but I have found giving him a bath and wrapping him up in a blanket and letting him know I am in this with him makes him more content. He is drooling a lot more as well. but thats been going on for months, but remember teething can time and patients but have fun with the toothless grins..:) hope this helps...

wash yourhand n put a finger in his mouth,he will definitely try to bite you n if he's teething you'll feel his gums are hard in the front.usually lower ones appear first.sometimes they trouble for few days before they actually become visible.my elder one showed first pair when he was just 3 n half months but my second one is not showing any signs yet.so dont worry.if you've any other questions i can help as much as i can.
happy teething.

My son was born 10/21 and just got his first TWO teeth within 5 days. The first one didnt seem to bug him but the second one was bad. He was fussy all day, wouldn't latch on to me, wouldn't take a nap, and was just plain unhappy. He also was constantly rubbing his face. He didnt have a fever ever, but his face was very pink. I never noticed any change in the amount of drool however.

I had my daughter in october too..she's been teething since christmas! And still hasn't cut any teeth. But the doc said that they can teeth up to 2-3 months before actually cutting teeth. Look for little white bumbs on the gums..where the teeth would be. They're called pus-pocked. But that's the first stages of teething. When you go for the 6 month check-up & shots ask the doctor.

My son started drooling like crazy at three months. He also started to love chewing on our fingers. My husband and I immediately knew that he was teething. However when we asked the doctor about it, he said that there is no way he was teething. Lo and behold three weeks later he had his two bottom teeth. Our son was real cranky and right before the teeth popped through you could "see" it through his gum. It was like a white line. Oragel worked wonders for my boy.

Kristen - posted on 03/10/2010

oh yeah we have been drooling since 31/2 months no teeth yet. though.

my daughter has been teething since january!!! it has been an intense few months!! her first teeth appeared just before she hit four months. i can clearly see all the teeth under the gums now, but coudln't with the first two. the only other 'symptom' (other than what you've mentioned) is taht my girl went off her feeds. i've since found out it's 'cos the bottle hurt her gums. good luck!!
