teething?

My DD has been drooling all over everything, rosey cheeks, cranky, chewing on anything she can put in her mouth,and waking again 4-5. My DS is the same just not as bad. Does tis sound like teething? If so how long does this go on for?????? <_<

 

It could be! I felt like mine were teething from 3 months on! They didn't get their first teeth until 7 months though. Every child is different, so she may be working on some teeth. It sounds like she is exploring more (that age is all about the mouth!) and the excitement may be keeping her awake when she would normally have fallen back to sleep on her own in the morning.

 

Yes, it sounds like teething and it goes on and on and on! My son seemed like he was teething since about 3 months on (drool, chewing) but he didn't get his first tooth until he was about 7 months. Generally it is bad for a few nights. Hopefully she gets back on schedule. Are you giving her any tylenol?

 

I have been giving her tylenol at night and using the teething tabs. The problem is I have fed them when she wakes up at 4-5, but it is messing up the whole day. The next feeding they won't eat and they still seem tired. Im wondering if I should leave her and see if she will fall back to sleep?????

 

Yep, sounds like the teething could be the culprit. As far as the night waking, can you soothe her back to sleep without a bottle. Maybe give her some Tylenol and rock her back to sleep and then maybe it wont throw off your daily routine.

 

The problem with her is soothing usually makes her worse. Its like shes mad she woke up and she tries to get herself back to sleep, so when I go in there she screams louder.

Sure, definitely give it a try if you are comfortable with it. Teething is awful!

 

Sounds like teething to me! Mine have been showing signs of teething since 4.5 months old. But the first tooth surfaced just after 6 months. Now we are starting on uppers! I think they continue to go through stages of teething until about 2 year old. Poor babies

You might want to give it a try Good luck! Teething is not a happy time for either baby or parent. But that just means they're growing! ^_^
