Teething?

Kaelynn is 4.5 months old and got her bottom two front teeth just before Christmas.

How far between do they go before teething her top front? She's been drooling really bad again the last couple days and not napping pretty fussy. I don't see any white on the top yet.

Yeah I thought I would have a month or more before she started teething again.

Every baby is different, but my daughter didn't have her bottom teeth until she was about 6 months old and her top teeth came in about 3-4 months after that.  
Good Luck, teething wasn't a fun time for us : D

I know she's so young to be getting teeth. The first bottom one broke through at 3.5 months. I didn't even know she was teething. The second tooth broke through about a week later. She did get fussy with the second tooth and I had to give her Tylenol for a few days.

The last 3 nights she's been screaming even while nursing. I just put some orajel on her top front gum and she nursed for about 5 minutes and was out. Poor baby.

It is truly different for every baby. I'd say within 2-5 months she should be getting the top ones but she's still quite young. I know that my girls teethed on and off for many months before they got teeth. Poor little thing! Cool washcloths to suckle on was one thing my girlies loved.
