Teething s*cks! At least i think it's teething!

Ladies please tell me this is teething and that it will be over soon!!!!

My son has been drooling for the past 2 months, the past 3 weeks he soaks his shirts. He's been coughing from the amount of salvia in his mouth, refusing the bottle sometimes i think because the nippes might bother his mouth, can't fall asleep for naps (he gets close and then i guess the saliva bothers him because he all of a sudden picks his head up and is awake again), and is waking 3 times a night.

When will this end? I don't see any white spots in his mouth. But to be honest i'm new at this so who knows! ha! He used to sleep through the night at 2 1/2 months and then stopped a few weeks later. Was waking up at 2am for a feeding. Now he gets up at 11, 2am, 4am and then finally 6:30. It's been 2 weeks now. When will this end????

My husband works midnight shifts starting on sunday and i'm not looking forward to doing it all by myself... Chat Icon

I HEAR YOU!!!!!

My DS was sleeping through the night at 8 or 10 weeks..... then he hiit 5 months. Chat Icon I started back to work, and he started waking up at night. My theory is that it's a combination of things - i think teething is definitely part of it! I hate to say it - it went on for about 5 weeks or so. Then we had a REALLY bad night - the next day we felt the tooth! and a day or two later, the second tooth came through!

SO, now he has his two bottom teeth. Some nights we have a great night - no wake ups, or one or two short wake ups. I'm ususally able to just rock him right back to sleep quickly. Some nights - not so great.

In speaking to lots of moms with babies around my son's age, they are ALL goign through the same thing. I think teething s a big part of it - dno't worry, it won't last forever.

Yeah it's a good thing we love our little ones because this part is no fun! Chat Icon

The weird thing is i think he's getting his top 2 teeth. Don't they usually get the bottom first? Chat Icon
