We have two sharp edges poking through this morning. How long does it take for them to come all the way through?
PS teething is even worse when mommy seems to be the preferred parent and is the only one to calm him MOTN
That's exactly where we've been at all week so no clue when they come all the way in. Mine also wants nothing to do with dad MOTN so after 3 nights of up every hour between 12-6 im dead.
Was it you who went to check for an ear infection? What was the verdict?
babycfeb2015 I called the pedi Wednesday to ask about sleep training and weaning his night feed and they suggested I wait until the teeth come in. She noticed I called about a cold last Friday and asked how long it lasted. It was short and mild for us. She mentioned that an ear infection can often come after a cold like michelle142 said. They said to look for fever, more crying when lying down because that position hurts more, and sucking a bottle/breast makes them cry because the sucking hurts the ear. Apparently only 10% of of kids who tug ears have an ear infection (or so the pedi said) so that is not always a tell tale sign. We went in anyway because O also has a pretty bad red irritation on his face and I wanted to get that checked out as well. He only has pressure in the ears from teething but we really can't do anything to release it, it has to pop on its own. Also, pressure can lead to ear infections so we have to still be on the lookout. So basically we went in looking for an ear infection and left being on the lookout for one.

@missystephans ugh ok thanks. Our dr pretty much said the same and that the teeth shouldn't mess up his sleep for more then 3 days? Tonight will be night 4 so im going to take him in tomorrow morning if its still bad

Normally the gum starts to thin out so it becomes a little translucent and you can then see the white of the teeth below. That's been my experience anyway.
I think my kiddo has been teething for awhile too (drool, hands constantly in mouth, grumpier than usual) but no signs of actual teeth yet.
Any recs on bibs that don't suck? I like the terry/soft ones, but the drool goes right through. The plasticky ones for eating just aren't comfy. Is there an in-between? Like, a waterproof terry cloth bib? Maybe wishful thinking on my part...
I love the a+a burpy bibs. They're huge so they look a little like a cape, but they hold so much drool.
Ooooh! Those bibs look awesome! I hadn't seen those before. Thanks so much for sharing!
We are officially in it too. He's been drooling like crazy. I can feel one maybe two hard lumps in his bottom gum line. He is BITING when BF. And since yesterday, he's spent more time screaming than quiet. It's sad. Very sad. Ugh. He's not exactly sleeping too well either. Naps? Nope.

Break him of the biting now if you can. Teeth hurt so much. My poor nips.

Question: when is everyone giving Tylenol? Just at night? Beginning of night or at MOTN wake-ups? I don't want to over drug him, lol, but just curious what others do.
I'm giving it whenever he is super cranky and can't be soothed and bedtime. We give it MOTN wake-ups when he won't go back down and is waking up crying several times. Our pedi is good with using tylenol as long as there are no more than 5 doses given in 24 hours.

Suggestions on how to do that? It's been a few days since he's bitten me, thank sweet baby Jesus.

I unlatch and tell him that we don't bite mommy when he starts to bite. If he keeps doing it I cover up and won't let him nurse until he settles a bit. He's got me good a few times and my shriek startled him. He's been better and hopefully has gotten the idea that biting means no food.

Ok. That's what I've been doing. One of my friends said to "flick" him, but I just can't wrap my head around doing that. Like I said, he hasn't done it for a couple days, so here's to hoping it's over.... DD was so much easier to BF. I was able to BF for 18 months with her. Not once did she bite me. Nor did I have any issues.

One of the twins has 3 teeth and is about to pop #4,5, and 6. He is a total mess. The other one has no teeth yet but I can tell the bottom 2 will be coming soon. SO.MUCH.FUNX2!

I don't understand flicking either. I've been keeping a firmer hand on his back for when I feel teeth and him starting to pull away so I can push him closer and keep him from trying to pull the nipple away. I understand the tongue covering the bottom teeth when they're actively nursing, but I think top teeth will be the real problem. Nothing gets in the way of those.

Ouch. I think it'd be easier for them both to teeth at once to get it over with. Good luck! Many drinks for you.

Pedi said "Tylenol it up, just don't overdose it" (as in don't do more that 5 doeses in 24 hours etc.
On his worst three days my LO was on it 24 hours a day. It seemed cruel to deny him.
Has anyone tried the teething biscuits? I was thinking about making some or buying some. I'm curious as to if anyone has & success with them....
I'd be curious to know this too. I was looking at them earlier tonight in target and got too worried about chunkage

From what I've read, they are pretty hard, which reduces the risk of breaking before it gets too soggy or before LO gets sick of it.... But I have no personal experience....

I was wondering about teething biscuits too but the only ones I am finding say they're for toddlers and don't specifically say for teething- are those still the right thing?
DS has 2 bottom teeth and has the top 4-yes 4 :-( coming in right now. Poor guy, he isn't doing horrible with it and being a trooper but I can't imagine it feels good. I kind of feel bad, with the bottom ones and these tops ones I didn't notice them first daycare did so we werent proactive at any comfort. He is constantly using cold teethers and chewing on anything he can. He has gotten Tylenol a couple times when he seems super fussy. His daycare provider said that motrin works better and lasts longer so at DS's 6 month appt next week I am going to ask about using motrin and the dose (I think they can have it after 6 months?)
I called in to our pedi and he gave us the go ahead to use motrin. We have a week and a half to go before the 6 month mark. My poor baby is having a very rough time.
A bottom one broke thru, its buddy is in sight. DS had been fine up until yesterday. Tonight he's just inconsolable. Soooooooooooo much crying. He's finally settled hopefully for the night. I was considering having him bed share with me just to get him thru tonight.

I have had the most success with Advil for sleep and frozen melon which he gnaws on ferociously when they're bugging him. I think we are through the first set, 9 more sets to go! Shudder
And two teeth are trying to break through today. Went from happy as a clam to uncontrollably upset today. Ow. Already ordering more teething tablets on Amazon. Nice of him to wait for the weekend but, tonight is not looking good.

Hyland brand. I bought some of the night time ones too. Seem to be working and we have not had to use much Tylenol.
