    My grandma said this was an old trick but I just found out about it today. If you are not sure if your LO is teething, grab a small metal spoon and gently tap it again their gums. If you hear a clicking sound (the tooth) then you know they are for sure teething.

    I did this on one of my DD as I was certain she was teething but I couldn't feel anything. Sure enough, "click, click, click".

    SO COOL!

    Oh, I'm definitely trying this. I've been thinking they were teething for the past month or so - but no way to tell for sure. I'm anxious to see if I'll hear a "tap tap"! Thanks! :)
