I don't know what's going on with my 2.5yo. He has had all 20 teeth for months, but for the last week or two has been exhibiting all the classic teething symptoms: chewing on everything, putting his fingers/thumb in his mouth, drooling, drool spots on chin, eating on his uglydoll's foot, and chewing on the collar of his shirt so much that the collar and front of his shirt were all wet! All of this is unusual behavior. I've been really fatigued and I realized only recently that he's been nursing more and he's not been sleeping through the night - which he's been doing for the last 3 or 4 months.
We've looked in his mouth for an infection but it doesn't look like he has any sign of one. We brush his teeth and floss nightly. (He loves to get flossed.
) DH (the flosser) says that there's definitely room for more back there and thinks he might actually be pushing in another -third!- molar. Does anyone know if this is even possible? I've googled and searched but can't find anything that says you can.
Thanks!
