 Jason usually sleeps through the night without waking. His regular night is from about 8pm to 6am. Last night he was up twice crying. He wasn't hungry, I just held him and rocked him and he went back to sleep. My question is....how di I know if he is teething. He seems to have all of the signs that I've read about...slight runny nose, not too much interest in eating, chewing on everything...but no teeth!! He seems so tired today but he won't let me put him down. He has no fever so I don't think he is sick. Does this sound like teething? -------------------- ~*~*~*~Edie, Jason 9/23/02, and Emma 11/19/06~*~*~*~

You sound like me two months ago. I had the same signs and asked the same question with Ashley.
And, my suspicions were right, the Ped confirmed she was teething at her 6 months appt. She said Ashley is what they call "a bad teether". She was cranky and couldn't sleep either. It took her two months to finally cut her teeth. I couldn't see the teeth, but the Ped shined a small flashlight on her gums and pointed out little white dots. Those were her teeth! I never would have known what to look for! Our Ped recommended baby oragel. I couldn't get her to use the cold teethers, but a cold washcloth worked. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to:

Sounds like Jason very well could be teething. I agree w/the above...baby orajel works well. I've also hear raves about Hyland's Teething tablets. Haven't tried them though but a lot of people I know rave about them.

I don't have much advise on whether he is teething or not.....too much of a newbie mom
it sounds like it though, from what i've seen friends go through. one thing I can tell you though, is that those Hyland's teething tablets worked wonders for my friend and her son. my MIL kept telling me that she used them for my dh and his 2 bros, and that they were a life saver....so i told my friend about them, and she confirmed it. Several of my friends said that the orajel washes off too fast....but it doesn't hurt to try all suggestions....what works for one may not for another....HTH, and Good Luck!!! -------------------- Roxane and Aidan 12/23/02

Also look to see if he's got a slight fever, or if his cheeks are a little rosey
 Sometimes it just takes a little bit of time for the teeth to poke through.Good Luck!!! -------------------- ~Marie, mom to Robbie, 15 and Anthony, 7 and our newest addition, Mia Eliana~

Thanks everyone for your advice. Although yesterday was a tough day, Jason slept well last night. I have tylenol, oragel, and hylands teething tablets on hand for today!
