Teething or not
My daughter is 15 days shy of 12months. She is toothless. From last 3 4 months, we are noticing her exhibiting signs of teething but no teeth... It's intermittent..She ll drool, bite, salivate n will have loose motions.. this continues for a week n no teeth then but due to these, she will lose appetite, didn't gain weight since Jan, will get rashes, become cranky... She was born at 2.6 kg n is 8.1 kg since Jan 29th until today...
I am worried..
Is it really teething or am I misjudging?
Please guide...

It looks like it’s time for her teeth to erupt . The first tooth can come out any time from 6 months to 18 months . So we still have time
Next Steps
Add Calcium syrup twice daily to her routine . It does wonders
Health Tips
If still no teeth after 18 months ,get a dental XRay done to see where the teeth have reached
