Could it be? Teething already??

My LO just turned 8 weeks yesterday and has been extra drooly lately and has been gnawing on his hands and fingers (which - btw - is an awesome new development during this current wonder week!!). Could he possibly be teething already??

It's possible, but seems pretty early for that.

DS is also a drool monster and loves gnawing on his hands.  He had his 2 month visit today and his dr didn't see any teeth about to erupt and said that he is probably just early in the mouthing phase.

Yes, those are signs for teething, but it can take months for any teeth to actual show up. DS had been doing that so I did a lot of research!

Could be, but could also just have found his hands.  Both of my big kids did this around 9 weeks, but didn't get teeth until 9months and 10.5 months.

My dd is 9 weeks and has been having the same symptoms.  I was wondering the same thing!

My LO is 7 weeks and has the same symptoms. I am pretty sure I'm seeing tooth buds in his mouth! Seems way too early...going to ask the pedi this week at his 2 month appt.

DD#1 was the same way and the pedi said it was teething.  I was shocked, but its not like the teeth popped out the next day.  She got teeth at 4 months.
