Teething and bleeding gums

[Bugaboom]

My DS is 13 months and has 6 teeth. He is really miserable at the moment- drooly, red cheeks and obviously in a lot of discomfort. I think he has two more top teeth coming through. I am a bit concerned that his top gums are bleeding a bit. I noticed it yesterday when he was eating lunch and today when he was just playing. Has anyone else noticed this with their babies/ toddlers?

Anyone?

DD's did a bit when she ate some bread. There was screaming, a fair bit of blood and then a few minutes later she was happy. A little while later I saw she had a new tooth through.

I have had an awful time with teething of my DS. His front teeth/incisors were bad enough, but with the molars we have had eruption haematoma's (google images for this) and also one tooth which caused a whole section of gum to be pushed out of what looked like a hole, surrounded by blood, which bled lots when it was knocked off and caused him enormous pain. All normal (if less common) apparently. Was a total shock to me as my now 4yr DD didn't have a single issue with any of her teeth - often we missed that a new one had arrived! I think we will be having a party to celebrate when all his teeth are through - 12 down 8 to go at the moment!

Hope your DS is feeling better soon Buga x

Oh no Pippy that sounds awful! He seems a little less grumpy today and no bleeding in nursery- fingers crossed we will see a couple of new teeth soon. Thanks for the responses.

My DS's gums bled, think it's normal when they're coming through. His teeth are perfect now.

DS also had some bleeding with his teeth coming through.

pippy your poor DS
