Could my 2 1/2 month old have started the teething process?

The doctor doesn't see anything happening in his mouth but he's become extremely irritable, his bowel movements are well, not pretty,  he's drooling like crazy, and he's been gnawing on my fingers and shoulder.

Maybe I should buy some Hyland's Teething tablets & see if they help.

yes! my son startdthe teething slobbering that young, and my friends 3 month old just got her first tooth already!!!


baby mum mums are GREAT for babies without teeth, especially once they have an interest in eating (around 4 months)

also, i used a gum brush on my son, and it seemed to sooth him when he was fussy.

Its not likely, but absolutely KWIM? LOL  I have a 6 month old and she was the same way.  I think she was 5 when she got her first 2 and she just got her 3rd and is working on her 4th and 5th.  I looked it up this morning and it said on average a baby gets their bottom middle teeth at 6-10 months.

At my son's 2 month appt on 11/23, the doctor said he was teething.  I have noticed a lot more drool lately.  He has also taken to chewing on his hands a lot as well.

 My DD got her first 2 teeth at 14 weeks old, 1 day apart.  Babies can even be born with teeth, so it's very possible that he's teething already.

It is totally possible. Lily started getting that way around 2 1/2 months now you can feel two of her teeth under her gums they haven't come through yet her Dr. said it takes forever for them to break through.

He is getting so big. He is so cute.

When is my wedding
