EARLY INTERVENTION: One thing that an OT might note in documentation is the type of crawling an infant or baby is at. Did you know there is a developmental process at work with crawling? This is one area that is great to pass onto the families that we work with as early intervention OTs. Check it out: https://www.theottoolbox.com/types-of-crawling/

True or False? ⁣
If you see a fever, diarrhea, and drooling, you can assume it's probably teething.⁣
⁣
❌FALSE⁣
𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆:⁣
➡️Although teething CAN cause a slight increase in body temperature (Think: 99-99.5), it does NOT cause a fever (>100.4). ⁣
➡️Teething can also cause looser stools due to increased saliva, but it won't cause diarrhea.⁣
⁣
✴️If we blame a fever and diarrhea on teething, we might be missing an actual illness that may need treatment so if you see these symptoms, talk to your doctor.✴️⁣

Babies begin drooling at about 3 months when their salivary glands develop. Although drooling can be a sign of teething, it doesn't necessarily mean a tooth is on the way. ⁣
