Is this normal for teething?

[tealandteal]

DS is 7.5 months old, first two teeth came through at 6 months, not too much trouble, he was off his food for a day. Two top teeth are now looking like they are coming and he is a different baby. He wants to bf constantly, and is very sleepy and grumpy. When he goes to sleep he wakes up after 20 minutes crying and has been awake from 2am the last two nights. He has a bit of temperature but calpol brings it down. I guess it is the sleeping more that makes me worry. Is this normal? How long do teeth take to come through?

"how long do teeth take to come through", how long is a piece of string really, all kids totally different, my little boy got his 1st at 6 months, my nephew didn't get his 1st until 10 months, even if you can see the white of the tooth it could literally be one day til it pops or 2 weeks - there is no way of knowing. What is his temp? A bit hot n bothered is normal for teething but a true fever is not normal. The waking crying every 20 minutes totally normal for teething pain. If the temp persists I'd take him to gp to have ear infection etc ruled out.

Yes, this is normal, you’ve not mentioned the green poos that both had when teething, but you’ve covered the other symptoms. It’s grim, but it’s what humans have to go through. The babies and their poor parents.

Highest his temp down been was 39.4 but we have been to the doctors just to make sure it wasn't anything else. It hasn't been that high since.

I wa hoping someone would say 2 days max once you can see the white of the tooth, feels like it's taking forever! Oh yes forgot the green poos! not envy

That is quite a high temp, I definitely wouldn't attribute that to teething, could be a viral infection as same time. As long as doc didn't find anything bacterial then just keep doing what ur doing with calpol and nurofen xx
