How long to get that dang tooth in?

Our girls have been teething for several weeks now. Drooling, chewing on EVERYTHING, loose stools, and we even saw some white buds. They have disappeared now and I can't feel anything but the girls are still fussing, not sleeping, and tylnol seems to help. So it would seem that the teeth are trying to come in. What is going on and when will it end? And will I be crazy before it all ends?

 

FOR REAL!!! My boys have been teething for 3 months now. Yet they have NO teeth.

 

Ped told me 3 1/2 months ago that looked like Lucas would be getting a tooth any day. Cut his first tooth this last Monday...Jonas was quietly teething and got two teeth right at 6 months...go figure.

 

At our 3 month check up the dr said that my girls would definitely have teeth by our next appt. They were chewing everything, drooling like crazy, fussy, etc. They didn't get their first tooth until about 7 1/2 months. The 2 bottoms came in pretty quickly once they broke through. We are now working on the 2 tops and they are taking MUCH longer and are giving the girls a much harder time. Mia's first top broke through about a week and a half ago and it's still only very slightly showing. The other one just broke through about 3 days ago then made no further progress. Teething sucks. Get used to it for the next 2 years or so.. :unknw:

 

One twin drools, but teeth just pop out. Other twin fusses, chews everything, and took 4 months after the little twin to get her first tooth. It takes forever sometimes!

 

*sigh* you all don't make me feel any better ;-)
I don't remember with DS how long it took!

 

Mine have been drooling and chewing on everything for the past 4 1/2 mos. and Natalie just got her 2 bottom teeth in last week. The prior 2 weeks were really hard with sleeping too. Carley is usually right behind her sister and I keep checking her gums - but nothing yet. Befor eNatalie got hers though - I couldn't see any buds - it just seemed like one day they were there - I felt them before I saw them as I wipe their gums down all of the time. Hopefully it'll get a little easier on them as they get used to the sensation of cutting teeth as they sure do get cranky and it really affects their sleep. Teething tablets work pretty good during the day. I use tylenol at night when they really seem in pain and can't sleep. Teething feeders are really nice too! I have to find another one as I only have one an it was given to me. Good Luck

 

I hope they pop through soon! :hug99:

 

Aye, James were a fussy little matie fer months an' months an his firs' tooth pooped through when he were 11 months old! Sean never fussed and he got 4 teeth when he were 9 months. Y'arr.
