My baby is 8 months old and has been teething for months, he still has no teeth, but can see he is in discomfort alot and constantly has his fist rubbing against his gum.
(I can see the teeth in his gums...just seem to be taking forever to come through)
But since he has been teething he has been so grouchy, whiney, can get upset very quickly.
But also doesn't seem as sociable as he used to be...he doesn't really use much eye contact with us.
I do have other concerns about him too, he doesn't respond to his name yet, sometimes his eye contact is that poor he will almost look over us and the other way when we are holding him or he is sat on our lap or we are playing with him on his play mat.
He will look when lying down or if I go into him in the mornings.
He does laugh and smile, but not as much as he used to....you have to really act silly to make me smile.
He is trying to crawl at the moment, but he brings his legs up and pushes with one arm and the other hand is in his mouth so he is almost leaning on his head 🤦🏼♀️.
I have read things and Google just say autism whenever I search what it could be.
But could it just be he is suffering with his teeth and it is making him alot less sociable and happy?
