Teething... At nine weeks!!!

[MoreBushThanMoss]

My sweet natured, laid back, never-one-to-cry DS is 9 weeks old .... And the poor bugger is I think teething!

He's hand chewing, rubbing his cheek, slavering and has had a v mild temp increase (36.8- he's usually 36.4) - he's pretty much himself except for being a bit unsettled and obviously bothered by the tooth.

Oddly he vomited up an entire feed this morning- which he never does - and is a bit snotty. Don't know if these are also teething things or coincidental new baby / winter bugs things.

Does anyone have any teething top tips in such a young baby? I've bought him a Sophie, offer him my finger to chew wrapped in a Muslin and am EBF on demand

Any other ideas would be gratefully received as I hate seeing him unsettled - he doesn't cry really - but he's obviously peeved

Oh also - can't freeze stuff as live on a boat and we don't have one

Well you could stick stuff outside tonight ! Sorry couldn't resist.

My youngest DC was an early teether, he had all except his 2yo molars by 10 months. A cold damp muslin helped a little & occasionally calpol if he got really bad. Teething granuals helped DC3.

The sickness & snotty nose are just as likely to be a bug as teething.

Hope you both get some relief soon!

Sounds like it. Our dd started at 4 months.

Teething granules helped and calpol when necessary.

May ease a little once they cut through the gum! x
