teething already?

| My DD just turned 3 months last week. The other day she was extremely irritable, drooling a lot, her cheeks looked flushed, and she was gnawing on my arm. This seems like obvious teething symptoms to me, but isn't it a bit early for that? |

My DD has been teething since she was 2 months (she is 6 months now) and still no teeth have come through. So, no it isn't too early. I asked her ped. and he said that it is normal for them to start drooling and gnawing on things at an early age. I hope this helps a little!

| My DS started teething at 3 months as well. Teething can start long before you will see an actual tooth break through. He cut his first tooth at 6 month, the second one one week later. Honeybina |

| My little one started at about 2.5 months. She drools, chomps on that little hand etc. But no teeth yet. I will just wait and see. |

| Timberly started teething at 3 months, too, her bottom teeth appeared around 6 mos! |

| Elsa is teething too and she just turned 4m. She has been for at least a month now. My son had his first tooth when he was 4m and by the time he was 8m he already had 5 teeth! So it really is normal for them to teethe this young. Good luck. My son had a really hard time with all of his teeth...and other kids just suddenly have a tooth with no signs at all...I'm hoping for the latter with Elsa. SHelby |

| My DD is 3 months old too and also has those symptoms but I didn't even think of relating it to teething. Maybe that's why she keeps preferring her arm over her pacifier! At first I thought she might be a little ill, but the fussiness comes and goes so I just figured "oh well." I just assumed this behavior was normal for this age. Your DD isn't alone! |
