What are the signs of teething?

I know of one, dribbling. She is dribbling like mad! What are the other ones? She's being a bit whingy which is completely not like her, and if she is teething how do I help her? Thanks =) x

I think I'll buy some teething gel just in case. They're a little bit hard and I can see the buds I think you're talking about. Suppose only time will tell. x

She seems to be showing most of those, but Im still not sure. I best get some teething rings and gel just in case though! Can you feel them in the gums? x
you can often see and feel them- also the gums feel quite hard and god do they hurt when lo bites down! feels same as being bitten like they have teeth! is your lo feeding ok? i used to rub some bonjela on lilys gums bout 5 minutes before a feed and she fed much better x x

Their gums can feel hard and you can sometimes see the little buds under the surface. How old is your LO? It's just that mine started showing the signs at about 4 mths but his first tooth didn't come thru til he was about 8mths!! It really starts to hurt them as the teeth cut thru but they can start moving to get ready to come thru a few mths beforehand x
