My DD was born 6-6-08 and on Oct 19th (my b-day:) I sayw 2 teeth outlined in her bottom gums. Right now, they're about 1/2 way up. I wouldnt give yours anything unless she seems uncomfortable. DD hates!!!! the oragel and screams everytime I give it to her, but it does seem to make her feel better. I've read, though, that fever isnt a sign of teething, so I would call your pedi.

My DD has been showing signs of teething since she was 5 months old. I would find that it would come and go and I would only give motrin if she appeared super uncomfortable.
My DD is 10 months old and still no teeth.

DD seemed like she started teething at 4mo...drooling, sucking on fingers, etc...however, her first tooth didn't pop out until around 8mo. Once the first one cuts through its one right after the other!

Did I read correctly that your dd is throwing up? I don't believe that vomiting is commonly associated with teething. Along with her fussiness and fever I'm wondering if she doesn't have some sort of stomach bug.

Teething can lead to diarrhea and some moms do insist that their dc get a fever with teething.

My dd starting teething around 4-5 months but did not cut any teeth till 8 months. My ds's also started teething around 4 months but they cut teeth between 6-7 months.
