Hyland's teething tablets and things like Sophie to chew on helped </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1446875 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 18:32:04 +0000 Pirouette 1446875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: so interesting! Thanks - that makes a lot of sense. </p> <p>@mrsjyw: I don't know how much her sleep is affected - she's having more trouble falling asleep because she wakes herself up chewing on her hands, but if she can sleep through the chewing she's still sleeping normally. </p> <p>@dreamocracy: eek! Was your LO in pain all that time? Or just occasionally? She seems to be in pain at times, but not always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1446530 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 16:21:20 +0000 Mrs. Chipmunk 1446530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think our drooling like crazy started at 3 mos and the first tooth came at 6 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1446368 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:46:20 +0000 BeatlesFan629 1446368@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I echo PP who have said that they could do this for months. DD has been showing signs of teething since she was about 11-12 weeks and she's 24 weeks now and still doesn't have any teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1446352 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:42:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1446352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS started teething like that around 3 months. His first two cut at 4.5 months! Luckily h is sleep wasn't affected for those first two. Just lots of drool </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1446331 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 15:37:24 +0000 fairy 1446331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unfortunately, my baby teethed like that for 4 months before get first tooth finally erupted! That doesn't seem like the norm though! (started teething at 3 months and first tooth happened at 7 months) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1445241 Mon, 24 Feb 2014 10:50:23 +0000 jetsa 1445241@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Nancy Holtzman is currently doing 25 tweets about teeth and babies, the first is: ""Teething" is a developmental behavior, NOT a sign of imminent tooth eruption. Behavior starts around 3.5 mos. Average 1st tooth? 7 mo" So apparently its pretty normal :)<br /> <a href="https://twitter.com/nancyholtzman/status/437973050316042240" rel="nofollow">https://twitter.com/nancyholtzman/status/437973050316042240</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443830 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:26:10 +0000 Pirouette 1443830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: haha too true. If there's one thing I've learned about babies it's that you cannot predict anything!</p> <p>@jetsa: oh that's interesting! I wonder if that's what will happen with her...I just hope she's not in pain until they come in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443821 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 13:17:56 +0000 jetsa 1443821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS's been teething since about 8 weeks and we still don't have teeth at 22 weeks, he's got white spots and a ridge on the top but no teeth so you may be okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443750 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 12:18:46 +0000 Smurfette 1443750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Some get the too first! With babies anything is possible. They like to surprise us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443715 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:41:02 +0000 heartonastring 1443715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You just never know. My dd started showing symptoms of teething at four months. She cut her first two teeth two weeks ago...at 9.5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443712 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 11:40:11 +0000 Pirouette 1443712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: we just checked and can feel a ridge on top - isn't she supposed to get her bottom ones first?! Couldn't get her to open enough to see because she was chewing on my finger haha. </p> <p>@matador84: oh wow! Two so early?! That's crazy!</p> <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: that's good to know - I was just hoping she wouldn't be in pain consistently for months!</p> <p>@catlady: thats what I was thinking, but I think she just came out of the second wonder week and isn't really fussy now like she was a little during that. Who knows?!</p> <p>She has adamantly refused a paci her whole life but just took it so she could chew on it. She still won't suck on it like a normal baby but she was chewing it like bubble gum haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443648 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 10:49:16 +0000 catlady 1443648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went through similar stuff around that age and even though everyone insisted she was teething, I still see no sign of teeth now at 20 weeks. I even had my dad check since he's a dentist. In our case, I think she was just going through a growth spurt or something, which led her to be more fussy than normal. Plus I think all babies start drooling more and chewing on hands at that point. But all babies are different, so yours could be teething...I know, not helpful! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443615 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 10:29:22 +0000 singingbee 1443615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo showed signs of teething, but her teeth have only started to move up and almost cut through the past two weeks. She's 4.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443572 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 09:48:34 +0000 swedishfish 1443572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be teething. R cut her first 2 teeth at 18 weeks old and had been drooling and teething on everything for weeks before that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443557 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 09:38:57 +0000 reverie 1443557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had early signs of teething like that but he didn't cut teeth until much later. Typically it was only a few bad days or nights at a time, not consistently until they cut. In fact the night before he FINALLY cut a tooth wasn't even a bad night. Its all so random. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443555 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 09:38:15 +0000 matador84 1443555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS has always been an early tether, cut his bottom 2 by 12 weeks. He's 17.5 months now and has all except 2 year molars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443553 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 09:33:43 +0000 Smurfette 1443553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It could be. They can teeth for months before something poops through the gums. Do you see any white spots? Feel anything? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/one-milestone-i-dont-want-my-lo-to-hit-early#post-1443551 Sun, 23 Feb 2014 09:29:56 +0000 Pirouette 1443551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is only 10 weeks, so I figured we had a good 3 months at least before we had to worry about teething, but the past 24 hours make me nervous! For the past few days, she has been trying to eat her fists all day long and is soaking through her clothing with drool. I figured maybe she was just discovering her hands. But now she's started chomping down on everything (dh thought she was hungry and gave her a bottle but she just started chewing on it) and yesterday she started crying out in pain on two separate occasions when she wasn't hungry. It was a cry I only heard once before when she got her shots. A few times after feeding she'd sleep for a few minutes and then start chewing hard on her hands. Finally, my girl who sleeps through the night every night woke up crying in the middle of the night twice last night! She usually wakes up calmly and just chills. She just seems out of sorts. Everyone who has come over this week has asked me if she's teething, and now dh is convinced that's what's going on.</p> <p>Please tell me this isn't going to go on for months before she cuts her first tooth! Did anyone else have teething symptoms way early? Did they go away and return later? Or stick around for months? I'm so hoping this is just a fluke! </p>
