My son is teething. Please Help?

Question

My son is teething and he is four months old. He is starting to suck his bottom lip. Is that normal?

Answer 1

Yup it's all normal chewing onthe hands sucking the lips and biting on ANYTHING they can get there little hands on LOL when he starts to get a little older and the teeth are about to come through BEST method is to get a washcloth dip a large part of a corner in distilled water and freeze it give it to him to chew on they LOVE it!!

Answer 2

very normal! Get out the bibs - he will be drooling tons and putting everything in his mouth to chew on! Just keep feeling his gums daily to see when and where the teeth are going to cut through. Sometimes it takes months for teeth to cut through sometimes it's within days! My 6 month old boy had 4 teeth by the time he was 5 months old!

Once the teeth come & you've started solid foods then brush them with a pea size amount of floride toothpaste cause babies teeth are very porus and will attract plaque easily. (a baby would need to ingest 10 tubes of adult size floride toothpaste to actually get sick from it)

Answer 3

Yes it's normal.

Answer 4

His mouth is going to get very active and sucking his lip is very normal. My daughter is almost five months old and she's recently discovered her tongue. She moves it all around, sticks it out, chews on it with her gums. She always looks like she's making funny faces at me. He's just getting old enough to start on baby food, he's got teeth coming in and he's just exploring his mouth among other things. He'll probably start doing all kinds of funny little things.

Answer 5

Yes it's totally normal.Try giving him something soft to chew own and now that he's teething be sure to take a damp cloth and rub his gums.
