My daughter has been teething since 3 or 4months however she hasnt gotten any teeth yet which is normal. She's 6 months now. The drooling means shes teething... Not eating as much could just mean her growing is slowing down for a bit.

dd started those symptoms around 3 months. she's 8 months and toothless still :)

its probably teething. edward began teething signs around 3 months as well, although i didn't see his first tooth until around 7 months. he was always sucking on his hand or anything else he could get his mouth on and drooling buckets! i used a combo of orajel and tylenol when it was really bad. the tylenol i only used when he felt warm or was exceptionally cranky and not sleeping well. the orajel helped a lot for us by itself and in conjunction with the tylenol. i used the type orajel that comes in like a q-tip swab applicator, which was much easier. some people also highly reccomend teething tablets such as hylands. they work wonders for some. good luck.

My son is 3 months and has been having the same symptoms. We just noticed that he actually has two teeth breaking skin and he seems a little more comfortable now.  It seems that the first two teeth are the toughest.  I've been using homeopathic teething tablets and they work wonders for pain and fussiness. good luck!

It sounds like shes teething to me if she starts to get fussy try teething tablits i swear by them just do the recommended dose though they are way better then oragel in my personal opinion and also frozen green beans just keep an eye on her with them thats what I did and she loved them I have a really cute pic of her with one in her mouth and one in each hand man they grow up so quick its sad now shes allmost 5 aaawwwwww god luck and tack lots of pics those days fly so fast

My son was very cranky and drooling and sucking his hand like a mad man.  He's 4 months and his two bottom teeth just broke through.  I use Hyland's tablets or Humphrey's, I believe they are the same.  I use tylenol when he's extremely cranky and warm.  He sleeps really well with both.  It sounds like I'm drugging him but sometimes he's unbearable.  Good luck.

[pertykitty]

do they eat less too?  its been too many years since i went throughthis

[FreeSpirit4Life]

Ya my daughter ate less think if u have a toothache it's unbareble to eat thats how they are maybe even though there isnt much chewing IDK why but she spit up more to I did frozen vegi's like green beansnot to eat but to help the pain

I just came on to ask the same question - both twins are drooling uncontrollably - I swear they are rabid (working in animal control, that had to be the first thing that came to my mind) - hee hee!!  Where can you buy those hyland's tablets?  One of them hardly wants to eat and they are both sooo irritable.  It's becoming unbearable.  I've tried the tylenol, but it doesn't seem to be working as good as I thought.  

[FreeSpirit4Life]

At any grocery store I think walmart even has it If ur on the west coast I know 4 a fact Albertsons carry's it but it's a little bit extra $ but well worth it good luck

[KellyTexas]

how do the tablets work - do you put them in water?  I'm kinda nervous giving an infant a tablet

[mami1323]

Yes, he stopped really wanting to eat.  Remember I had posted about my son not eating well, that was the reason because he was teething.  

Kelly Texas - you have to combine both the hylands and the tylenol to really get them to relax.  Just one or the other doesn't work for my some, it has to be both.  We got the hylands at Rite Aid or any drug store.  

Good luck, teething is the worst.  My son is still knawing away at things.  I put his pacifier in the refrigerator to get it cold, then I give it to him.  He's not fond of the teethers.

It just dissolves in there mouth there is no way they could choke on it u put it under the tounge I never mixed though I just used the tablets I think it even say's don't mix but I may be wrong on that one I would ask the doc

[mami1323]

Oooh you can't mix them.  Oh well....lol.
