Hi girls,
I think my son is teething but I’m not to sure. He is 14 weeks and on thursday he got lots of rough baby eczema on his face. Flared up out of no where. Today he has been very upset, bursting out crying (like he is in pain) but he doesn’t feel hot.
I have looked at his gums, I can see anything?
What are the symptoms of teething?
Thanks!

My son is going through the teething stage now. He is only 16 weeks. But usually if you feel in their mouth on their gums, you can tell because it feels rigid and also if you look you can tell sometimes. But all babies are different. My son basically drools a lot more, he never did until he started teething and is constantly putting his fist or his fingers in his mouth. He also cries and he used to never do that unless he wanted a bottle or diaper change. My baby doesnt hold anything yet or he wont accept the pacifier. He doesnt like it for some reason;. Try seeing if he will bite you if you stick your finger in his mouth. Mine did that and he bites down really hard. Even if yours dont bite you, that doesnt mean that they are not teething or anything. Try giving him some baby oragel to see if that will calm him down. Put it on his gums and if he stops crying then that might be what is bothering him..
When they start putting everryyything in their mouths. My daughter is teething. She puts everything in her mouth. is moody and always has runny diapers.14 weeks seems a little young to be teething but everyone is different. Also, just like You or I have a bad day, babies have theirs.
With Elodie it was,
* Red Cheeks
* Drooling
* Chewing her hands
* Moody
* Diarrhea
* Nappy Rash

HE MIGHT BE REALLY CRANKY YOU COULD TRY TO PUT ONE OF YOUR FINGERS IN THE BABY MOUTH TO SEE IF YOU FEEL ANYTHING.. ALSO THE BABY MIGHT GET DIARRHEA LOT OF RASHES AND FEVER.. IF YOU SEE HIM SLIVERING A LOT AND PUTTING HIS HAND ON HIS MOUTH A LOT HE IS TEETHING..
i dont think teething is the problem at this age. maybe but probably not. most likely it is the discomfort of the eczema flare up. possibly bothering his skin. and eczema can be a symptom of other things going on too ie diet so he might be having some stomach problems. check out his breathing also eczema is associated with asthma.
excessive dribbling
wanting to chew on everything
red cheeks
colds/flu symptons
diarrhea
tempature
ezcema
loss of appitite
crying alot
hot gums
stomach upset
Make sure you have teething gel, paracetemol, teething toys cold ones to go in fridge, if loses appitite just make sure he gets loads of water.
Drooling is a big sign of teething. The extra saliva can be the cause of the skin rash.
Also be on the look out for higher temperatures, 101 or below normally. Irritability, increased gas / gas pains, diarrhea, loss of appetite and trouble sleeping can also be symptoms of teething.
To help her through this you can buy a vibrating teething ring, iced teething rings or homeopathic teething tablets ( Hyland’s Teething Tablets worked for us !
. If the fever is hovering around 101 for more than an hour you can try Infant Tylenol, this will help reduce the level of oral discomfort as well as reduce the fever.
Hope this helps!
