Yay first tooth but advice needed please!
Hi Ladies,
Some advice needed from those of you with slightly older babies who've been through this teething thing!!
My little girl is 7 1/2 months old and got her first tooth through a few days ago. about 3 days before the tooth arrived (BH weekend) she spiked a very high temp (40 deg.) and out of hours service said it was probably due to her teeth. Calprofen helped to calm things down, but then after restless nights and some grumpy days her tooth arrived. I now think that a second is on its way as there is another bump next to the first on her bottom gum and she has had really runny nappies since yesterday morning.
Is it normal for teething to affect them in this way? I've been giving her Ashton and Parson's powders to help try to settle her stomach, as she had also been sleeping badly. Last night though she woke crying at about 10pm and seemed in pain, I went in to give her a dream feed, and during that she had several huge pumps, and then a really runny nappy, after which she seemed much more comfortable and slept through for the first time in about 10 days!
Oh this baby thing is so confusing first time around! and I'm still worrying unduly about her after her tumble off the bed! Sorry for the essay! Thanks for any advice.

I also use Ashton & Parsons, but when it gets really bad, only Calprofen helps. I'm also a first time mum and i know how you feel, its all such a mystery and you worry all the time
your lucky were now on third tooth at just turned 7 months and its the big top front one now thats causing him so much pain and being a total bastard.
sorry no advise apart from cuddles and cold carrot sticks.
It is totally normal anyway, Shayla didnt have any teeth until she was 8 months old and now she is 10 months and has 7! They just keep popping up all over the show at the moment and yes, we have been suffering in the sleep dept too! Its not nice but all i have been doing is just keep checking her temp and giving her calpol to help a bit if she gets too hot.
Sounds like ur doing a great job of getting through this horrible stage anyway hun,
Take care
