Teething or fussiness

How would I know if baby is teething? Lo has been really fussy at night not wanting to breastfeed and will take a bottle but then refuse it. She will be moaning all the time

How old is she? Usually their bottom centers come in first. If you look at her gums from above you might be able to see bumps behind her gums. If those are there you can feel the top of her gums and see if you feel bumps there. You can also look on the top and see if there's white lines. There will be a line where a tooth is coming to the surface if that makes sense

She’s nearly 6 months, I checked and couldn’t see anything

Its possible she may not be teething yet or they're in the process of rising. My friends son didn't get his first tooth till 8 months old

My baby got her first tooth at 5 months. I feel like it is possible. I would wash my hands and gently feel her gums to be sure but sometimes they go through teething pains without teeth popping through while the teeth move through the jaw in position to begin teething.
