Too early for teeth?

**Whitman** · 23-09-2011 21:18

Baby boy has had a very slight temp on and off for the past 2 days, very fussy when feeding but starving, and chewing/sucking on anything he can get his mouth onto.....

Are these signs of teething? He is only 14 weeks old

Not too early... DS1 cut his first tooth at 3.5mths...

DS2 cut his first at 4 months, but was showing signs of teething since 3 months, def not too early, but I feel your pain!

Its a possibility, there is no such thing as too early, every baby is different.
I would keep an eye on the temp. In the morning have a play around with his gums just put your finger in his mouth and see if there are any teeth or sharp bits poking through expecially in the front of his mouth.
He could just be going through a fussy stage tho. If he wants more milk give it to him maybe a growth spurt is coming on. Good luck.

My sister was born with a tooth. It is never too young

My ds started teething at 3 months - unfortunately still no teeth cut but his gums are now white & very sharp.

Big hugs, it's not fun. Not supposed to use bonjela under 4 months, but there is another one - byards natural teething gel - that worked quite well for us so maybe give that a shot? Also if u use a dummy try putting one in the freezer

Thanks everyone - sigh - I thought that there would still be a little while for toothy pegs but I suppose my boy is just so advanced he he.

Will keep an eye on the temp though just in case....
