2 teeth are showing :)

Everything I’ve read says that the discomfort of teething subsides once the tooth pops through the skin. Sarah has had two teeth for about a month and a half and they are probably only a fourth of the way up. So, visible but not “full” teeth yet. If he is still in discomfort…maybe there’s more than 2 working their way through!

They usually pop through pretty quickly once you can see them through the gums. (they did on my kids) I’d say just a day or maybe two… It might help to massage the gums a little if he’ll let you.

Hope they come through soon!

Aidan’s take forever as well, they’ll poke out, then his gums will swell over them again, like Hailey it took 2 months for the 4 he has to totally come in, and the 4 he’s working on now are just below the surface, I know Trace doesn’t do well onsolids but have you tried the whole ice cube in the baby safe teether yet?? Aidan loved that….until his father put a popsicle in there when I was out one afternoon….I was so ticked, the kid loved the ice, but obvioulsy after the popsicle ice just didn’t cut it! Also, I always have a frozen wash cloth in the freezer, they make the best teethers!

Natalia,

For my three once they’ve broken through the skin, usually that’s the end of teething pain for those teeth. But they could be seen under the skin for literally months. My kids are probably some of the world’s longest teethers as far as how long it takes for them to cut teeth!

Shelby,

I’m sorry to hear things are still so hard.

Shelby,

I love the picture of the two of you.

I can understand your fears about him possibly having a food intolerance, but he’s 8 months old and you won’t be nursing forever. Personally, I’d live on air and water if I was guaranteed a full night’s sleep every night.

You know you can run but you can’t hide from your fears. If he’s allergic to wheat you’re going to find out eventually. Why not now? I know I shouldn’t be preachy because I haven’t been in your shoes, but I’d try the diet again if he’s still in pain.
