Teething questions

DS (nearly 7mo)has 2 bottom incissors,it didn't take long for them to come out after he started dribbling.Surely there are more teeth on the way,he's biting everything like mad,constantly chewing on his fingers and whatever he'll manage to get hold of ends up in his mouth.

What is the order of milk teeth appearance?Which ones are next to appear?And how long it takes?He seems to be in quite a bit of discomfort sometimes and except teething powder I've got very little to offer to soothe him.

If you have a feel around the gums yourself you should be able to feel the unerupted teeth away to grow through. Next in order are the upper incisors, then lower lateral incisors then upper lateral incisors. The next ones should be through by 9 months.
Unfortunately teething is hard for mummy and baby as I'm sure you've noticed it causes rashes, upset tummy, sore gums and lo being harder to settle. I bought those teething rings and put them in the fridge which seemed to help my dd. good luck! X

You can't predict when they'll pop through as all babies different. The best things to ease the pain and calm them down is ibuprofen/calpol. But mainly teething powders 'teetha' and 'Ashton ad parons'.
