Hey mommas! My son is 8months and no teeth yet. Last night we had a difficult time he kept waking up every 3 hours just crying and crying! This morning he woke up so congested, sneezing, so much drool, and not happy at all. I saw a bit of white on the bottom of his gums so I'm assuming this is part of teething? I hear so much that cold like symptoms or diarrhea isn't part of teething but than I hear moms and my family members saying babies experience these symptoms when a tooth is about to emerge. Just curious as to what other moms have experienced with teething babies. Maybe it's just a cold .. so difficult seeing my little one congested and miserable :/!
