To wish she would shit or get off the pot

[tinymeteor]

Metaphorically speaking, that is.

DD2 (4 months) is teething like a maniac. Gnawing, cranky, exploding nappies etc. She actually growled and bit me earlier. Drooling like a bloodhound, biting like a piranha, sleeping like, well, a baby. A baby who is really shit at sleeping.

It's been going on for weeks and still no fecking tooth. It's teething, I bloody know it's teething, but still she refuses to prove me right. If she doesn't pop a full set of incisors by the morning I'm giving her away to the next person who knocks on the door. Congrats, Ocado man, it's a girl. Best of luck.

Ohh dear -this too shall pass.

There will come a time when she is a teenager, and you won’t be able to pry her out from under her duvet with a crowbar.

Finger crossed for some teeth in the morning - and maybe a spot of calpol if she wakes up tonight?

Well, still no teeth today. But as the first knock on the door was DH coming in from his morning run, I suppose we have to keep her.

Oh man, I am having flashbacks. You have my sympathy.

Anbesol Liquid is your friend. Has the be the liquid though, not the gel. https://www.boots.com/anbesol-liquid-15ml

Dd's teeth were glacial, symptoms from 4 months. No teeth cut until 7. i could actually see them moving down.

I’m in it with you - my 6mo is pissing about gnawing everything and refusing to sleep properly. Little bugger.

My DC2 and niece are a similar age and just the same.

I think mines trying to break me

You probably don't want to hear this but we're nearly 9 months and still to cut the first tooth. She has massive bumps on her lower gum and I think we may get 2 or 3 at once by the time she's driving. Sheets of dribble. She's lucky she's so cute.

Baby nurofen works for us but I can't remember if you can give it at 4 months. And baby bonjela.

You won't like this, but it is unlikely that this is due to teething. All of those symptoms can be developmental stages and not imminent teeth which on average arrive between 6 months and 8 months. While it is true dribbling might and nashing might increase, it is not a sign on its own. The only sure sign a tooth is emerging ie a little split in the gum on the tooth bud. The danger of labelling it teething is that you may miss that she is actually unwell so watch out for signs that may be illness

It is awful. Just awful. My sympathies.

Get to the chemist and buy a packet of gauze. Rub it on her gums a few times a day. Teeth should cut through without lots of pain. My son cut ten teeth without fuss after I did this.

Ashton and Parsons tooth powders OP. They work like magic! I don't know how but they do. screaming banshee one minute sleeping Angel the next!

I second anbesol liquid

It's the gods stuff

I use it on myself if I have a mouth ulcer

Poor babba. Hope she cheers up soon

TOOTH AHOY!!! She's only bloody cutting a lateral incisor as her first one. No wonder she's been a miserable little blighter. Looks rather massive in her tiny mouth. On the bright side she'll make a very cute Halloween pumpkin in October.

Right, it's Calpol for her, gin for me. Maybe in a few days we can get back to dealing with the ongoing 4 month sleep regression.

Magical times eh...

Googling Anbesol liquid now...

Teeth granules. Cheaper than gin

Currently have a teething six month old and I’m dying here! You have my sympathies OP

My 2 year old is teething and it’s relentless all night long but I’m so excited because it’s his LAST MILK TOOTH! I feel like having a party.
OP, congrats on having one down. My DS seemed to suffer so much with teething mostly but one or two I didn’t even notice. So I hope the next one is easier.

I heartily second Ashton and Parson powder. It was miraculous.

Also, if you wet a flannel, wrong it out and then pop it in the freezer, it can be good for her to chew/gnaw on when in pain.

Enjoy your gin!!!

Teeth granules. Cheaper than gin

Or combine them for a fun new cocktail? I shall call it The Mother's Ruin

How do you apply the anbesol liquid please?

Agree with PP about Anbesol liquid - it's the shiz. Get it in literally any chemist but be careful not to ask for Anusol

Put anbesol liquid on finger, apply to baby's gums.

I feel your pain op - loved your first post proper made me lolz
