Just wanted to know mom's experience of teething,
My little girl has been teething a few weeks now but it seems to be getting worse, can't feel no teeth yet...

How long did your little babies teeth start to cut through ??

How sure are you that it's teething? At this stage all babies go through a developmental phase of putting their hands in their mouth and chewing as it is their way of discovering their hands. It can make them drool a lot more as well.

If there's no sign of teeth it doesn't sound like teething but I could be wrong. Have a download of The Wonder Weeks app. It's great at telling you how they're developing, when, how it affects their moods etc. Can't recommend it enough Smile

Teething can take months, but you can usually see or feel the teeth in the gum. As suggested, if there’s no teeth about then it might not be teething.

Sometimes her cheeks go red, she dribbles. She screams out in pain sometimes chewing her hands, temperature sometimes, she's waking up 3/4 times because shes in pain chewing her hands, when I give her the milk she chews the teet and doesnt drink the milk.
She won't take a dummy , she either chews fingers , her hands or wants to chew the teet,
If it's not teething then I have no idea lol,

Shes quite grumpy and wingy aswel, and it's quite hard as whenever I try play or do tummy time she doesn't enjoy it and crys. The off chance she is happy and smiley but I have no idea where I'm going wrong.
