sign of teething...very beginning might not see any white at all but you can see that the gum is fuller/swollen ~ Carlos has swollen gum and bad dribbles for a long time before we started seeing any white! He is now having the 5th-7th teeth coming up ~ very very bad dribbles & grumpy all the time!
Give him a teether (but some babies prefer a piece of cloth, the sleeves of his top, his blanket or even their own thumb). I put the teethers back to the pot of sterilising solution when he doesn't use it. Calgel helps as well.
I also gave Carlos fromage frais/yoghurt and he likes it (but you might want to wait until Gabriel is about 6 months old to do this la).

If he is teething, you can see a little white on his gum.......you can buy calgel and put it on his gum where is teething, and buy a toy fot him bite, but you need to put it in the fridge, if he do ...
Giving baby water...Carlos doesn't like water at the beginning and I talked to other mums and they recommend doing 'apple/pear drink' or 'carrot drink' ~ not like the mums here juice & cordial all the time...
Wash an apple & a pear, leave the skin on but but them into wedges, remove the cores and put everything into a sauce pan & add about 1-1.5 litres of water, bring up to the boil then simmer for 30 mins. Some mums add one '蜜棗' to make it sweeter but I don't. You can then save it in a flask and give it to Gabriel to drink. It is a bit more work but most babies like it and this can help them to take in liquid other than milk!
Alternatively, I put half a cap of gripe water into 120ml of warm water ~ as the water has a little bit of sweet taste, this encourage them to drink. If successful, can put less and less gripe water to the bottle ga!
As the baby grows older I also give him 開奶茶, '生熟意米sweetcorn & carrot drink' and they all seems to help him with his poo poos & heat
