Hi hun, well it can take a long time as they seem to move about inside there gum's for ages before they appear, though it definatly sounds like they are bothering her, poor might, they say the first teeth are there front teeth and usually at the bottom, but not all babies get them there first. Hope it comes through soon xxx

yeah sassy is right some babies teeth from birth and have no teeth till they are one. try some teething gel on a tooth brush and wipe it round her gums, or hold it for her so she can bite down on it, this should help. and if she is really irratable and upset andupset u could try either some paracetamol or ashton and parsonspowders they are pretty good and are herbal too,
