there is no end to teething lol. they will start slobbering a lot, chewing on things, and get cranky and fussy.

Teething goes on FOREVER!! In late August, we saw teeth bumps protruding through my son`s bottom gums. They got super swollen, etc and finally emerged over 8 weeks later! Then when they came through, he was still sore as they shifted down. Then he started cutting top teeth right away... so it lasts a long time. Hope your baby is one of the ones where you don`t even notice til a tooth is there!

My son will be 3 months on the 7th and I swear he is getting a tooth or two. My mom even thinks so too because he drools constantly and he is putting his hands, bibs and anything in his mouth. Plus his cheeks are red and he sleeps alot. Is it too early for his teeth to come in?

My daughter has be a drool machine since she was 12 weeks old and she just got her first two bottom teeth last week (she is now 6 1/2 months old). I thought to check her gums to see if she was teething when all she wanted to do is sleep all day long. Sure enough her gums felt a little rough. The next few days she was extra sleepy and was very needy.

Lots of drooling (LOTS!). Chewing on everything. Fussy, fever (ocassionally). Just doesn`t act their normal self. My 13 month old has been teething since 6 months. The main problem I have with him is he loses his appetite.

Cheeks go red(sometimes only the one cheek, sometimes both) Grizzly/fussy. Can be clingy and want to be held loads and will be chewing on everything in site! But then again some babies have no problem and have hardly any if any of the symptoms above x

My daughter teethed late. she actually only got her last bottom molar this week and she`s 3. With us it was an on off thing, her cheeks would go as bright as red apples and the skin on them would be dry on the side the tooth was erupting, she`d be fussy, dribbling and when younger her the contents of her nappy would be affected, my son is exactly the same, he`s just got his first two teeth at 8 months. My daughter was 11 months before she got one.

Hi there, every baby is different and reacts differently to teething. With my son who is now 14 mths old, he wasn`t too bothered with his first teeth (the 2 bottom middles ones), he was a little fussy for a couple days but that was it. When the top teeth came through he was fussy off and on for a couple weeks and the teeth seemed to take about 2-3 weeks to come through, he started having a couple wake ups during the night and generally seemed to be in some kind of disocmfort. He`s been the same for all the other teeth since then except that he doesn`t wake at night any more. He also gets abit of diarrhoea and a nappy rash when he teethes and he gets a bit fussy with his food (just solids, not milk).

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
