Hi Girls,

I know it seems a bit early but i think will might be teething? he has been off his food for the past 3 days which is unlike him and his gums seem to be bothering him. He gnaws on his fists all day and when i put my finger in his mouth he really bites at it.

Could this be teething or something else? what should i be doing?

Hi bedshrimp
Freddie is the same - although not off his food but he does gnaw at the bottle so isn't taking quite as much. His fist is constantly in his mouth and today he has barely been awake longer than 10 mins!
I bought some Ashton and parsons powders on a reccomrndation and when he woke last nite at 4.30 chewing his fist I gave him one and he went straight to sleep. I've also got one of those gumsheild dummy things but don't think he's got the hang of it yet!
Our poor little monkeys! X

definitely teething here because I can see a tooth cutting! It's gone from a slightly white bit on the gum to a pure white thing and a red area! She's gnawing on her teat and her hands too - she is also trying to put all her toys in her mouth but bless her when I give her a teething ring she's not quite co-ordinated enough yet to reach her mouth with it every time, and cries in frustration, so mummy's finger is doing for now!
