My son also cut his first molars early and was miserable. Don't give her ice or anything like that because it can cause "freezer" burn on her gums. For my son, infant tyenol worked great at night but during the day I used hylands tablets and baby oragel. Both of these are good standby's when it gets a bit unbearable for them. Also I would suggest looking in her mouth to make sure she doesn't have thrush and you can also tell which teeth she is cutting because the gums will be white. When you know what teeth are coming in you cen help her externally. If she like to gnaw on things I also used to take a damp wash cloth (baby size is best) and put it in the freezer for just a few minutes to get really cold but not icy and then let her gnaw on it until it warms up.

My son is 19 months old and he just started cutting his 2 year molars at 18 months. They aren't out yet, but he has been really onery, but hasn't had a fever, and instead of sleeping he has been fighting sleep. I think it is different for every child. My sisters baby done the same thing yours is doing.

of course its normal. i was an eight month old daughter and she already cut her two front bottom teeth and is cutting a molar. Just go to Walgreens or walmart, and go to the pharmacy and ask for some humphreys pellets. They worked really well for my little one.

A very small fever is normal. Any more than a degree or two fever is NOT.
Every child gets their teeth at different times, so that's all normal.

yup...every child is different shes probably in alot of pain so try using lots of cold toys. the greatest invention in the world (i think) is this binky looking thing but it has a small mesh bag on the end where you can put anything in there try putting ice in there so its nice and cold and helps numb some of the feeling on her. good luck

This is absolutly normal. Just make sure you buy her the teething items they have at baby stores or even walmart.

yes you should try putting fruit in the fridge and let them get really cold and then letting your baby eat them ....really cold it would feel great on the gums and cuts...my baby loved cantilope and banana, try something that your baby likes...good luck..xoxoxoxooxx
