Hi there


All advice on this gratefully received! I have a 14 week old and I think he's just started to teeth. He's very red in the cheeks and dribbling and keeps wanting to chew his hands. Also he's started to wake more frequently at night whereas before he'd only wake once. Does this sound like teething or is 14 weeks ridiculously soon to start?


Thanks!

yes sounds like teething. can start very early and i've heard that this is often the most painful bit as the teeth start to come through the gums initially. but can take quite afew months for the teeth to break thru the surface!


3-4 months is quite normal for the teething pains to start from what i've seen with my little ones and other babies. gp told me to give calpol and it does help. gum numbing gels are good too.

my baby has been teething since he was around 3 months old but still no teeth at 7 months (aaagh) - try bonjela or dentinox teething gel if nelsons teething granules don't work - try those first as they're homeopathic as opposed to gawd knows what in the gel! calpol works a treat if he gets worse symptoms like a temperature or is in a great deal of discomfort/pain. hoep it eases soon if it's not teething!!

No matter how sceptical people can be on the use of 'natural remedies' I would strongly advise using teething granules preferably nelsons. My daughter was teething from 8 weeks, and it went on and on through phases until her first tooth came at around 9 months. Then a whole mouth sprouted in no time at all. We are awaiting 4 more teeth (2 of which actually cut through yesterday leaving another 2) at 21 months then she will be the owner of a full set. Teething can be hard on the parents, but its something that must happen at some point, obviously. Distraction and granules worked wonders for us.


The first ones are always the hardest it would seem, they get used to whats happening and tend to deal with later ones much better.


Lots of cuddles, play and distraction I say. Trying teething rings too, didn't work at all for us, but have done for many others. Worth a try..

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
