Teething Symptoms

[RoyaUK]

We had no warning! Sarina's first tooth has just come through at 8 mths.

Between 4 and 6 months or so she was drooling occasionally and chewing etc but I believe this is just normal oral development and not necessarily teething.

Well I think Jake's aren't too far away - his rotine has totally disappeared and has taken to feeding round the clock every 3-4 hours ... it's like he's a newborn again!!

Claire is chewing on absolutely everything she can pick up (her toys, her blankets, clothes, my fingers, DH shirt etc) and is chomping on her hands alot as well. Is that a sign of teeothing soon or would it be more likey that she is exploring/discovering stuff by putting it in her mouth? She is also drooling SO MUCH and always has drool all over her face and a huge patch of slimy drool on her front and has been more clingy than usual, and the last few days has been quite cranky.
what do you think? (i thought it was too early, but thought I'd ask anyway)

Drooling, chewing on everything incl bottom lip, clingy, unsettled, red cheeks, runny green poos and fever.

Chewing on her hands and everything in her reach, very grisly, and rubbing ears and cheeks and runny poo. She is about to be 4mo and already two teeth have broken through.

Hi,

My twinnie boys are 13 months and they still haven't got a single tooth. Does anyone know if this is normal or do I need to hit the panic button!

My son is 24 weeks today and has been doing the dribble, chewing, knawing on everything, sookey, windgy and hard to settle sometimes. But just this week he is refusing his bottle. The other morning he did not want his bottle which is strange as his last feed was 7pm the night before. He refused his lunchtime and afternoon bottles today also. I tried to give him farex so he can at least get the milk in that, but he even refused that this afternoon. Although he rejected his bottle at lunch time he did take his solids (pureed pumkin). I am just worried that he is refusing his bottles. Is this a teething thing? Is it because it hurts to suck? We are also going through the transistion from AR (Reflux formula) which is very thick to Step 2 which is thin, perhaps he does not like the change in formula... any ideas?

The last 3 days my 10 week old has been only sleeping at the most 45 mins at a time during the day. She is feeding every 2 hours during the day but is ok at night. She feeds then plays and then wont go to sleep unless i hold her which is unusual she wont take her dummy which she normally does to sleep.
She has been drooling a bit and munching her fist here and there but not all the time.
She sometimes wakes up crying to the point of tears and even out of the blue she just starts to cry like that. She isnt a baby to cry for no reason there is always a reason and we can fix it but not the last 3 days she hasnt cried this much ever.
I dont know if she is teething or if its a growth spurt so I hope someone can tell me whats going on.
