IT IS POSSIBLE THAT YOUR BABY IS TEETHING, BUT LIKE MY DR TOLD ME " HE WILL TEETH BUT I WILL BE A LONG TIME BEFORE U SEE ANY TEETH" MY SON JUST TURNED 6MTHS AND HE DOES THE SAME THING AND I KNOW THAT HE IS TEETHING BUT STILL NO TEETH...
Reply:what's the question
Reply:My baby started teething around 2 months old and now he's almost six months old. He just cut his first tooth last week on Thursday and he's cutting his second tooth now. Sounds like teething to me.
Reply:No he's just chewing on his fingers because it's something close that he can put in his mouth.
Reply:your baby is most likely starting the teething process... my daughter started teething about 3 month old....i would start using teething tablets if he gets bad fussy
Reply:My second born...My son was born with his 2 bottom teeth!!!


My first born...My daughter started about 6 months.





Personally have never seen "fussy" while teething!!!





Fussy baby is generally a different cause.
Reply:Babies start teething long before you'll ever see a tooth. My son started drooling and chewing around 2 months also, but his first tooth didn't come in until he was 5 months. If you look at his gums you can almost see where the teeth are at, it'll be upraised and look a little swollen but every baby is different. My cousin didn't get any teeth in until she was almost a year.
Reply:yes its very normal for your baby to start this now..... he probably wont start to get his teeth till 5 months tho but your right he is teething! ;o)
Reply:Teething is typically starts between 4 and 7 months but can begin as early as 3 months. It sounds like teething time for you! Enjoy the pain :)
Reply:My daughters cut their first teeth between 3-11 months, signs are usually dribbling, chewing, red cheeks, sometimes nappy rash, stomaches aches and cold like symptoms too depending on the child. I find teething powers or gels help and cool water rings (type you can pop in freezer) and bikiepegs are great to help the teeth break through (although not suitable for under 6 months)
Reply:i have 2 kids(17 %26amp; 14) one started teething at 3mths,the at 6 mths. i think you will be seeing teeth soon,but sometimes it seems like it take forever.i heard the earlier they start the longer the process
Reply:Sounds like he is teething to me.
Reply:yeah he could very well be teething as some babies are born with teeth. i use arston and parson teething powder for my baby its herbal but just check with your health visitor see what they think
