I feel the same way!! EVERYBODY is telling me that she's teething because she chews on her fingers all the time and she's super drooly, but she's always done that! I see some *maybe* white bumps, but I don't really think so...

When a tooth popped up.

I had no clue. I thought that I felt something but DH told me that I was crazy. She had increase in spit up, but we thought from an ear infection and cause she was always turning herself onto her belly and trying to crawl. I was expecting lots of drool.

We just went through round #2 for her two top teeth and again so much spit up but not a lot of drool.

My first sign was a low constant whine for 2 hours in the MOTN. it sounded like he was hurting so I gave him a 1/2 dose of Tylenol and he went right to sleep. His drool is actually way lower than a month ago. Now I can tell if he's in pain from teething when he won't mouth toys or "bite" down on my finger. The teething pain started about a week ago and now he doesn't seem to be in the same amount of pain. No idea when the tooth is going to pop through. LO is 5 months tomorrow.

My LO drools like a St. Bernard (aka, buckets!) when she is teething. One thing I have noticed as a way to confirm teething over random "oh hai, I won't be sleeping tonights" is to put my finger in her mouth and rub her gums. When she is teething, she might fuss when I first put my finger in there, but calms when I massage her gum with my finger. Have you tried giving her a cool, wet washcloth to chew on? Cool teether toy? Good luck!!

I can tell when she's crying in her sleep at night & no teether helps her except her fingers or my knuckles. She drools like crazy & her nose gets slightly runny too. She actually doesn't have any teeth yet but I've been able to notice when her gums are swollen. I think a lot of babies teeth for a long time! Kind of comes & goes.

@JoJoGirl: when I called my mom to ask about L's terrible sleep she told me I was a terrible sleeper too. I asked how long it lasted and she said, "until you were 3"! I asked how she could have possibly wanted more kids after all that (I'm oldest of 3). She said, "i think I forgot how bad it was unti, I was reliving it through you."

Drooling, chewing everything and insanely swollen gums!
