3.5 months teething

[fennho]

erm...HOW exactly do we find out if the crying episodes are part of teething signs? Cos jus now I peered into her mouth and took a good look at her gums...no swelling, no trace of teething at all. Shud I make a trip to the PD?

Mrstee
u mentioned ur bb started her teething signs from 4mths onwards, so does she CONTINUE hvg all these or rather "suffer" from all these smptoms all the way until the tooth surfaced?

me bubs started teething at 4 months on the dot. He went through all the swiping at his ears, drooling , swinging his head from side to side phases , but he was not cranky ALL the way till it erupts - sure he was fussy for some days (probably right before it erupts) but then it goes away again ...so it fluctuates. I think it may be tougher for them for the first set of teeth - cost now that bubs' upper set is coming through, he isn't as cranky as before ....I guess in some ways they will get "used to it" ( altho I know one never gets used to discomforts). at least they don't seem to react to it that badly .....don't know if it helps.

I know its tough seeing them in discomfort, but my mom always says its just part of growing up.....

Mine had that symptom (hence the beginning of this discussing) and then gone! Fennho, if she is dribbling and biting everything, it's normally the sign of teething, I think. However my son stop the fussiness after about 5 days but still drooling so you might just wait it out. Unles you suspect ear infection from her rubbing her ears??? My son did not rub his ears though.
