teething nappies

[gemsie23]

Hi all,

Does anyone else have experience of awful nappies when teething! My nearly 1yo dd has been waiting for a tooth to break through for a few weeks now but the last 5-7days she has had leaky nappies and I'm having to completely change her outfit when she goes. It's very watery and I'm 99% sure it's not a bug as he has other teething symptoms and is happy in herself. Her bum has now got sore since yday so using metanium but is there anything else I can give her to help stop these nappies or not? It seems to be going on forever!

Yes we had the same loose stools sometimes when teething. Hope that tooth comes through soon.

Myself and all my NCT friends have experienced this. I don't think there's anything you can do to stop it.

Glad I'm not alone in this - have had the same recently too. I seem to be changing nappies non-stop! I did some searching though and according to this post it isn't a normal sign of teething, but rather a side effect of chewing etc involved with teething? Any thoughts? Was a little concerned, but it seems to be clearing (slowly, but it's happening).

Teething nappies here were so acidic and loose. I always assumed it was swallowing all that excess saliva.
