Teething....?

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but I am a first time mom. Is it possible for a 10 week old baby to be teething? I don't see anything but she sucks on her hands and drools like crazy. She tries to put her whole fist in her mouth. She is also crying with her hands in her mouth. If shes not teething, what else could it be? Thanks in advance!!!

Teething....?
my 3 month old son is doing the same thing and i asked his Dr. and she said that yes he is probably teething but it will still be a while until they come through. Good luck!!
Reply:i can't remember exactly how old my son was when he started teething i think he was around 3 months so i would say it is quite possible that she is teething... may take her awhile before she gets that first tooth in... but if she is drooling all over the place and chewing on things she probobly is...
Reply:The teeth probably won't come through, but they do move around now and again. That's all it is. Their cheek can also go a bright red and very warm when this is happening.


Crying with her hands in her mouth could mean she's hungry, but I assume you've already discounted that.
Reply:She might be teething, although that's kind of young, but it might also be a sign of an earache or a canker sore in her mouth. My stepdaughter always got really drooly when she had an ear infection.
Reply:She very well could be.

All the best my now 3.5 month also started teething when he was just 8 weeks old, poor thing still tries to put anything and everything he can lay his hand on or infact mouth on in his mouth, but still no sight of that little tooth!
