Teething Pain

Did anyone's DC have worse teething pain from teeth AFTER the first one or two came through? I think I read the first are usually the worst, but DS really didn't seem to be in any discomfort when his first two bottom teeth came out, but now he's been such a crank with the crying and whining, I'm wondering if he's in teething pain. I see a bump on the top, but it's not right in the front, one or two even over to the side. Is that normal?

Thanks so much for any help!

awww poor baby! I believe that ALL teeth coming in hurt. I would give him something like teething tablets.

DD was GREAT when her bottom teeth were coming in (she has 3 now on the bottom)...she just drooled alot...

Now, I think all 4 top teeth are coming in at the same time - and she's been in a lot of pain. I give her tylenol before bed, or she's up 5 times a night, and she is always chewing on a toy/pacifier/blanket, or if all else fails, her fingers...she's pooping 4-5 times a day (unusual for her) and she is crabby at times for no other reason....

When her top teeth started, they were just "bumps" too - and they're a little off to the side, so I think that's normal.

I just found these baby orajel pre-filled q-tip things...makes getting it on the gums so much easier...

Thanks SO much for the responses!!



This poor baby!!

I'm wondering if he's getting more than one tooth too, because his gums look swollen. Is that a sign?
