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.

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.

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.

My LO starting exhibiting all the signs but actual teeth at 2 months.... he is now 8+ months with no teeth.

@pastemoo: that's my lo too except she is 7 1/2 months!

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!

@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.

@BabyBoecksMom: Oh wow! Surprise!
