Could my 3 month old be teething this early?

My daughter has started chewing on her hands a lot lately & I don't think she's hungry cause she'll do it even after she eats. There's so much DROOL! I gave her the paci today and she tried to stick her hand in her mouth even with the paci in her mouth. LOL.

Could she be teething early?

My son totally started doing the exact same thing around 3 months but still waiting for teeth at 5.5 months. I think that's also very common for babies that age to suck on their hands, it's a self soothing thing.

Hahaha my daughter does all that too. Plus she chews while nursing. I hear it's common though. In Germany, babies used to be called lazy if they didn't start teething at 3 months.

My son started teething at 3 months and got two teeth shortly after! Chewing on stuff and drooling are major signs of teething!

Wow, that's crazy. I didn't know they could start teething that early. Thank you ladies so much! and @csgtv i will def look into those mitten (:

I also heard that they could've just discovered their hands.

To help with the drooling and discomfort of teething, look into getting an amber bead necklace. I know so many moms who swear by them and I will be doing it with my daughter when she starts teething. Good luck!
