How long does teething actually last for?!

So frustrated. LO has been showing signs of teething since he was about 3/4 months old. However, for the past week its been different. Drooling, fussiness, loss of appetite, sleep disrupted, wakes up crying, rash on face, chewing everything etc. But there's still no tooth! Google said it should take a week to cut but it's been a week and nothing. Is there something wrong? Does it usually take longer? It's dragging on so long and I just don't know what to think.

My baby started teething at 2/3 months, and his tooth didn’t start cutting through until he was just under 6 months 🙈 have you noticed whiteness under their gums or a slit where the tooth is coming through?

No, I mean it's hard to see cos he won't let me look in his mouth long enough to really see much but it doesn't look like anything is coming through.

My daughter has been exactly the same she started teething at 3 months, 3 months later still no tooth but the past week she has been so unsettled screaming, doesn’t want to eat or drink anything putting her whole hand in her mouth chewing and everything she can get her hands on is in her mouth, she has been an amazing sleeper since 9 weeks old but has been taking ages for her to go down now as she’s so uncomfortable and in pain, I feel you😩 hopefully it doesn’t last too long!

My sons been the exact same not drinking as usual not really napping and his bins are constantly soaking also has a really sore bum, he’s just cut his two bottom teeth. Fingers crossed it’s not much longer for you

There’s a trick you can do before the any tooth appears under the gums , you basically get a clean glass cup and press it slightly on their gums to see if it’s come up or not
