Got to ask lol**link with pic added for expectant teethers**

[BabyBrain]

Yet again today we are awash with dribble and chomping on hands. Albert's also messing around with his dummy, chewing it rather than sucking and he's doing it a bit with his bottle too. I've had a look at his gums and at the bottom there's 2 white patches at the front of his gums but nothing at the rim. Could this be the start of teething? If anyone has a pic of the early stages of it I would be grateful lol (I've tried to take a pic and he tried to eat my phone lol). He's got no flushed cheeks or anything and doesn't seem uncomfortable xxxxxx

sounds like how Kayla started, espech with the chewing of her dummy, I got the littlee MAM teethers that are about the size of a dummy and once she got over trying to suck and lick it and realised she can chew it she was almost eating the while thing

Couldnt get any pics either, she HATES the camera and puts her head down everytime i get it out when shes smiling or laughing little messer

I was wondering about a teething aid cos he doesn't hold onto things yet really. Where did you get the mam teether from hun? xxxxxx

Teething beads!!!

I find tethers HUGE and for big hands so I got these for Tyler and they are perfect and only £2.50

Jack didn't show any signs of teething when he cut his first one. It just kind of popped up one day! He has 8 now (4 top & 4 bottom) and only suffered slightly with the top front 2. I do think he's teething again now though because he keeps trying to take chunks out of me! lol x

Found this site and the pic on the left is what Albert's bottom gum looks like. He's sleeping loads again today and putting it down to a growth spurt so don't think he's in any pain

BB Max has had this since birth and my HV said that with some babies you can see that for ages before teeth come through. but if you've only just started noticing it then its possible!! i just know for def max has had it from birth- which is why ive been expecting teeth to come through anytime but they havent.

if he starts seeming like hes in pain id start using teething powders/gel- theres no harm in using them early and if it does calm him or help then it probably is his teeth xxxxxx

got it in boots hun, they do a round one for front teeth and cross for back ones

i also got one like a dummy but bit that goes in her mouth is curved like a gum shield, it good to use with bonjella

The tommee tippy easy reach teethers hugsy mentione are brilliant especially for babies that are used to dummys because they can mess about with them themselves and chew it how they like. They're perfect because you can smear teething gel along them and pop them in knowing it's touched all the right bits.
