Teething at 10 weeks?

[chicaguapa]

After 2 days of irritability ds has now got bright red cheeks. Could he be teething?

I'm reluctant to give him calpol at such a young age, he didn't even need any after his first injections. Any alternatives?

Could quite possibly be teething. My dd got her first tooth and 12 weeks.

Sadly I don't think there are any alternatives to calpol...

have you had a feel of his gums? at the front. if you dont want to give calpol try calgel or bonjela, torub on the gums. i feel its better if they get teeth early, my dd had a tooth at 16 wks and she didnt have too much bother, i felt it was because her gums were softer.

there is something u can use its called ashton&parsons powder its really helpfull its in a blue and white box contains 20 sachets & shouldnt cost more than 1.99 you can get it from lloyds chemist or moss probably at most of them and dont know if you have a shop called savers where you are but you can get it there aswell

oh yeah - that ashtons powder is great! for a multitude of things

Yes, the powder is great. Used it with dd who also cut her 1st tooth at 12 weeks

Teetha powder (homeopathic) is fantastic - can buy in Boots etc

Yes - could be teething. My DS got his first tooth at 17 weeks but dribbled and had bright red cheeks for ages before hand. There's probably development afoot under his gums.
