ugh ok so Oakley has been waking up constantly the past few nights. He doesn't wake up and cry…

Could be teething issues!

He could be teething or just hungry again I know that's what happened with my son for a few I just made sure I fed him more during the day before hand last night was the first night he stayed asleep til 7 am for me

@mami2d I thought about that but if he were in pain I'm sure he would let me know. Like I said he doesn't cry he just kind of wakes up and is wide awake like its the morning.

@drmurphy13 I suppose it's possible but he eats sooo much during the day haha!

I thought the same til i actually uped baby's oz up

Signs that your baby is teethingWhat's not from teethingWhen to worry about a late teether

Last updated: December 2014

Children experience teething differently – from when teeth emerge to the types of symptoms they have and how much pain they feel.

Here's how to spot the signs that your baby is teething, so you can offer remedies to treat the discomfort.

Signs that your baby is teething

Symptoms can last for just a few days, right around the time a new tooth is emerging, or for as long as several months if a lot of teeth come through all at once. For a few lucky babies (and parents), teething doesn't cause any noticeable signs at all. What's tricky is that there's no single set of teething symptoms.

"No more than a third of babies have any one symptom," says pediatrician Deb Lonzer, chairperson of the Department of Community Pediatrics at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. "So, one-third of the kids might drool, another third might be irritable, and another third might have trouble sleeping."

Here's a list of teething symptoms:

DroolingIrritabilityA tooth visible below the gumSwollen, bulging gumsTrying to bite, chew, and suck on everything she can get her hands onRubbing her faceDifficulty sleepingTurning away foodGrabbing her ears

If you notice several of these symptoms together, it's more likely that teething is to blame, but there's always the chance that it's something else.

Siah's been doing the same thing...I seriously think he's teething and has some teeth about to come in soon

Thanks girl, I'm gonna try that @drmurphy13

@mami2d that's interesting! I always thought teething signs would be screaming and drooling and just general irritability but maybe Oakley's just reacting differently

@emkasting, Google is a Awesome source for information! I used it often!
