Teething pain?

[nefisher]

We had a bit of a bad night last night. The previous night she had been restless in bed and yesterday she was really grumpy, not having her usual daytime naps, dribbling, crying and eating her fist. I thought it was teething and gave her some powders and a bit of calpol. Then last night she was screaming the house down and was inconsolable. Is this usual for teething? I've read that they are meant to get grizzly but nothing about crying and screaming the house down. No tooth is showing, but I'm assuming this in normal as there is probably movement in her gums?

You had exactly the same night as we did last night with Nathan.
He is really grumpy in the day, hand permantly in his mouth along with anything else he can get in, ear pulling etc, but last night was awful, he was restless on and off until about 3 in the morning and then he was heartbroken and we couldnt settle him for hours which is unlike him. Ive heard that the teething process takes months, i hope it hurrys up i hate seeing him in so much discomfort.

Teething is very hard for them
I find Bonjela really helps Isaac, whereas others didn't seem to, and recently used Nurofen for his cold after his immunisations, which seemed to help a great deal so that's another medicated option
It can last for months, and teeth can take as long so just try whatever you feel might help and you will find things that work to ease the pain, Isaac loves chewing on my finger, there are toys you can buy as teethers too but I found Isaac's only recently taken to them.
Very best wishes

it may be teething, as babies can start this any time (my hv said some babies are born with teeth! )

is it all day or just evenings? coz when melissa became screamy in the evenings, we thought it was teething but it wasnt (even tho she has the other symptoms)- it was just her telling us she needed a bed-time routine. she's been happy again since we started the routine. x
