Teething symptoms around 3 months?

ArcticFox

I'm wondering if my DD is showing early signs of teething?  She will be 3 months old in a week.

She is drooling a lot, and constantly chewing on her hands or fingers.. but she has also "found" her hands in general.

I do feel bumps under her gums, but I imagine I'd be able to find them anyway?  

The other thing I wonder about is she will gnaw her hands frantically but then refuse the bottle, so that's what had me thinking - she's not giving me hunger cues, but teething instead?

(FYI - my older DD didn't cut her first tooth until 7 months!)

Totally possible. My DD started teething around 2 months--lots of drooling, voracious gnawing of the hands, etc. Pedi said it could take a month or two for the first teeth to actually break through though.

DS started doing this about a month before his first two teeth broke through.

Mine has not been able to keep his hands out of his mouth for over a month now...no actual teeth yet, but we have had a couple of days/nights where he was definitely feeling some pain more recently. It's entirely possible.

DS has been teething since 3mo, no teeth in sight yet though. Pedi said gums are swollen but they are not coming through soon, it could take up to 2 months from when they start.

It could be!

My doctor said 3mths is right around the time they find their hands very interesting (more so then toys) and they keep their hands in their mouth a lot.  They also have excessive drool/spit at that time too.
