He’s been cranky, clingy, off his milk/food could this be the reason why?

Um, can't see a tooth but possibly might be why?

I see it! On the left. Yes looks like it. The pain is usually worst for them in the couple of days pre and post tooth popping through. Don’t be shy with the calpol for couple days. Second one will probably be soon behind.

Sorry is this any clearer?

He’s just not been his usual self for a few days and naps have been way off. He’s barely had any milk today but he’s eaten more solids than usual 🤷‍♀️ He’s 8 months old and it seems he’s been teething since he was 3 months old. Kinda hoping that if it is a tooth it explains why he’s been so ‘off’.

With a clean finger have a feel. If it feels sharp it is a tooth. Even if it isn't sharp you will be able to feel the hardness.
It looks like one coming though!

Looks like it to me. DS is the same with teeth.. goes off food and sleep. Very upset. He got a temp with the first couple and was sick alot. I tend to give ibuprofen before bed when hes bad and distractions throughout the day.

Yep looks like it, ibuprofen is better than calpol for teething.

Yep that's what DD's looked like. I shrieked when I poked it and it was freakishly sharp! It was an exciting time Grin
