My baby girl cut her first 2 teeth on Monday. She's been dribbling and nawing on everything since she was 3 months (she's now 7 months) and has been getting more irritable the past week or so. Today she's gone ballistic, throwing herself around as if in a temper and at one point she wouldn't let me pick her up, she just bucked like a donkey! Please will someone tell me if this is normal? I'm worried and upset that something else is wrong but son't want to be neurotic! I've been giving her Ashton & Parsons teething powder and using bonjella during the day but today I had to give her neurofen for babies for her to calm down and finally get some sleep..... help!

Hi Ola they say with teeth come the tantrums. I would think a bit of temper showing at 7 months is fairly normal. And teething can be very uncomfortable. Try an ice cold teething ring or an iris root. However if you feel it is more than that then I would definitely speak to the Health visitor.
