Surprise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546612 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:43:55 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 546612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: this is a great list of symptoms thanks for sharing! I had never thought of flushed cheeks but it makes sense. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546611 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 01:43:00 +0000 Mrs. Sketchbook 546611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meggo5: mine started teething around 3/3.5 months and had a tooth by 4 mos 1 week, and another a few days later. That being said sleep is disturbed around 3/4 months and according to what ive read all babies like to gnaw on their hands around this age, so I guess it is really speculation until that tooth shows up. We think he may be teething again at 5 months, but no sign of a tooth yet, just fussiness. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546565 Sun, 03 Feb 2013 00:12:11 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 546565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD never drooled so we didn't know that she had a tooth coming in until she bit my sister with it right at 5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546539 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:29:05 +0000 cyndistar3 546539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: that's my lo too except she is 7 1/2 months! </p> <p>I thought for sure she would have a bunch of teeth by now since she started showing all signs at 2 month but nothing yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546536 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:24:26 +0000 travelgirl1 546536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Meggo5: A is a drooly chops right now too. DH is convinced she's teething but I'm not too sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546529 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 23:01:01 +0000 pastemoo 546529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO starting exhibiting all the signs but actual teeth at 2 months.... he is now 8+ months with no teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546518 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:47:20 +0000 Periwinkle 546518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: Poor little guy! I hope he's feeling ok!</p> <p>Glad to know that the drool is not necessarily indicative of teething :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546513 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:38:35 +0000 heffalump 546513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo was a drool machine for 6 months before teeth came, at least. She was very slow to get her first tooth though, I think 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546508 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:29:11 +0000 betsyboop 546508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO went through a mega drooling phase around 4 months but it stopped for a while. I was convinced she was teething but her first teeth didn't pop up for another 4 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546507 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:29:06 +0000 lovehoneybee 546507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>His first two started to come through around 4.5 months and erupted right around 5 months...the drooling started around 2 months, but I read that until they're 4-6 months old they have trouble swallowing all of the saliva they produce, so though it is a sign of possible teething, it's not necessarily that. </p> <p>The signs I saw besides the drool were flushed cheeks, increased fussiness, weird eating (he would latch on, suck then immediately pull off and cry), swollen gums and flushed, rosy cheeks. He has 6 more pushing through now and has had the same symptoms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-question#post-546499 Sat, 02 Feb 2013 22:22:04 +0000 Periwinkle 546499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When did you start having to think about teething? My son is going to be 3 months old next week and I thought I would have a long time ahead of me to start worrying about this, but he has just started to drool quite a lot over the past week or so. I had read that drooling and extra saliva is often a precursor to teething and I'm curious if you've seen this before?</p> <p>I am just hoping we have a bit more time until teething truly begins! </p>
