Is She Teething?

Good morning, I think my five month old might be teething. She is showing all the typical signs, except a swollen gum yet. She is more fussy and even pulling on her ear. I have given tylenol. It seems to help. Does anyone have any good tips or ideas for teething process? What should i expect? Thanks- reb

Tongue Tied and Bottom Teeth

My 6mth old had his tonge clipped at 3 months. He was tongue tied from tip of tongue to where his bottom teeth would come in. It was pretty thin, so the ENT just clipped it in the room right then and there. Didn't have any problems before or after. Now I see that his TOP two front teeth are starting to come in. But absolutely no sign of his bottom teeth. Is this normal? Someone told me that there's a chance that he won't get his bottom teeth because of him being 'tongue tied'. HELP!

Drooling...again...and He Is 5!

My son was a drooly baby. He was THAT kid. The one that always wore a bib, because otherwise his shirt was wet or he'd get a rash on his chest. We didn't think too much about it until he was 2. Around that time I did some research online and asked about it on here and was given a few ideas - ditch the sippy cups for cups with straws, blow bubbles, play games blowing cotton balls with straws..this sort of thing. We went this route after talking to his doctor, who wasn't entirely convinced it would help, but also knew it wouldn't hurt....

Space Between Front Teeth

My son is 11 months old and he has a space between his front teeth. He does not have a space between his bottom teeth. His front teeth came in about 3 or 4 months ago and I was hoping as they came in that they would grow closer together! Should I be concerned? Will they move closer together? He already has the two teeth on either side of the front teeth, in fact, those came in before the front teeth did.

Orajel Bad for Baby's Gums??

I've heard this rumor ever since my daughter was born in 04' She was a good teether. Never made a fuss. Now, my son who is just about 11 mo. old is already growing in his molars! He's constantly bitting and is a fussy teether. Poor thing. I have heard that Orajel and other gels are not good for babies because it makes their gums tougher thus making the teething process even more painful when the teeth break through. Does anyone know if this is TRUE? I can't seem to find the answer and this is the only thing that seems to help somewhat...

Teether Biting the Nipple~!

So my almost 7 month old son has taken to biting my nipples at random during his feedings. His first two teeth came in simultaneously two and 1/2 weeks ago. Each time he's done so i've let out a good "Yelp!" and then taken him off the breast and tell him no, and why it's not okay. Unfortunately it seems to be happening even more frequently as time has gone on since he first started. I've even caught him grinning afterward. I don't know if this has become the automatic mommy yelping trick that he's getting a kick out of, but i do know i...
