Does this sound like teething?

[Jamontoast1]

FTM to a 5.5 month old who over the last almost week has been very irritable and grouchy, waking up randomly crying at night, waking up early, gets warm red cheeks, tries to chew everything but gets frustrated with her teething toys…

also got a bit of a croaky voice?

how long does it last, I feel so bad for her (and also need 10 mins to myself!!)

I can see two white lines on the front of her gums about half way down, are these teeth?! Am I only half way there? 😭

It could be, but equally it could not be. Sorry, I know that’s not very helpful, but generally it’s only with the benefit of hindsight you can chalk up fussy behaviour/poor sleeping to teeth (as opposed to illness or regression or babies being babies) 4-6 months is a notoriously fussy time for babies anyway.
