This is my first time on here but wanted to know if i can get any advice about teething. My son is 20 weeks and started teething little while ago and felt teeth the other day. He has been a bit grumpy but paracetamol generally worked. Today he has just wanted to breast feed all afternoon and then sleep.Could the sucking is helping with teething? Also he usually only sleeps for max 30 mins at a time but has been sleeping mainly for last 2 hours. WOuld be grateful of any advice.

yeah the sucking is more of a comforting thing and when the baby is sleeping they try and sleep longer so they dont feel the pain its like when i have tummy pains i would rather sleep not to be able to feel pain if you know what i mean, if you get to worried take him to the gp, hope that helps
