Anyone's babe teething at 10 weeks?

My baby boy has been inconsolable for 2 days. He screams the second the bottle touches his gums. He is also drooling a bit and chewing his fists. The only way he will eat is if I wiggle the bottle nipple. His bottom gums does look whitish like something is putting pressure on them. But 10 weeks just seems so soon.

Mine chews her fists and also drools so much more than my other two did, but I don't think it's teething since my other two were 8 and 12 months when they got their first ones. My cousin had a daughter two weeks before I did and she chews and drools too. So I assume it might be a normal thing but I guess stranger things have happened.

Some babies are born with teeth. I used to think it was bunk. DD1 didn't start drooling and chewing until 4 months and then they started popping out almost immeadiately after. DD2 is 8 weeks today and has been drooling and gives little cries of pain every once in a while for almost a week now. I can feel the point of one of her incisors when she chews on my finger

It's defInitely possible! The worst part is before the teeth cut, so if that's the teeth you can see putting pressure on the gum, hopefully you're going through the worst of it now and it'll be over soon. For those teeth anyway. Teething sucks!!

My husband was born with two teeth!

It is possible to be teething this early but drooling and putting hands in their mouths aren't really signs of teething at this point. 

Around 2-3 months the salivary glands start working which is why is seems like they drooling buckets all of a sudden, hands in the mouth is also a developmental skill that shows itself around this time.  My Pedi just had a discussion about this with me yesterday, thats not to say it isn't teething just that some of the signs may be misleading.
