Teething
This may be a stupid question but how do you know when your little one is definitely teething??
My little girl is 5 months and slept awfully last night she kept moaning/whinging and today she has been constantly doing the same or crying way more than usual. Her gums look a tiny bit red but not massively but she woke up screaming from her nap and put her hand straight to her mouth, could this be teething? Should I give calpol etc if she seems in pain

We’ve just had a tooth pop through but prior had red cheeks, seriously unsettled, wanted cuddles, hands in mouth.. we used the salts, nurofen & iced teether toys x
@Emily yes she has had slightly rosy cheeks for the past 2 days! I can also hear her almost grinding her gums against each other if that makes sense! Like she’s chewing!

Yes sounds like teething and the fact she is 5 months definitely teething. Is her cheeks flushed and red? You’ll notice her grinding her teeth on toys or her hand the worse it gets. Also a lot LOT of dribbling xx
