DS is 10 weeks old, and it seems like he's teething. Quiet, high pitched squeals; chomping, not sucking, his pacifier; and just seeming in pain and totally not comfortable. Yesterday he slept for 11am to 2pm, but didn't sleep again until 8pm, when we finally gave him tylenol, and he only woke up once at 11:30pm, then not again until 7am (it was heaven for me!). His aunt watched him for us two days ago and she said he was fussy the whole time (not normal for him at all) and she thought he was teething, which is where I got the idea.
Re: teething at 2 months?
We wondered this too. DD has been sucking on her hands sooooooo much lately. Like it pisses her off when she can't suck hard enough. and she literally chews on her binkis.
I asked my dad, who is a dentist, and he said babies can teeth for a few months before they actually cut a tooth. and a baby can get a tooth as early as 4 months. at least from what he has seen.
He said the fussiness and wanting stuff in her mouth may not be teething, that its sort of rare for them to start THAT early. but its possible.
May just be a growth spurt? realizing they can get stuff in their mouth and frustrates them that they can't do it sometimes??
Welcome to my world!!! DD started almost 2 weeks ago... spit bubbles, tons of drool, gnawing her hands like an animal... definitely teething.
Found out her cousin (DH's Brother's boy) cut his first tooth at 3 months... it runs in the family! (great)
