14 weeks and teething already?

When do babies start to teethe? DS has been drooling a lot lately and has started to suck on his hand/fingers, and just tonight began crying uncontrollably. He's not hungry or dirty and we can't calm him.

Is it teething or something else? He's been such a calm baby up until now.

    DD1 did this too at about 3 months and I thought teething too.  I also saw/see a lot of women say yup that is teething.  She didn't get her first tooth until 8 months.  Although not impossible, most babies seem to have this stage at about 3 months, and most babies don't get the first tooth until 6 or more.  It isn't uncommon but IDK what causes it.  It likely isn't teething though.  Hope it is a short phase that goes away soon.

    Teething pain can start at 3 mos even if their teeth don't come in for a couple months after the pain starts.  Babies can also get their first tooth at 3 mos.

    ETA: I meant to also say that my son is experiencing teething symptoms now.  I didn't realize that kids teeth this early, but his pedi told me it was time to find some teethers because he recognized the teething symptoms at his 2 mos appt.  He did say it could be a while before he gets any actual teeth.

    My DD started getting teething symptoms at 7 weeks (drooling a ocean , chewing on everything , crankyness). Now shes 14 weeks and popping her two bottom teeth

    It could be teething , visit your dr or dentist and they could tell you more information. for the crankyness try a warm calming bath , cool teething rings , and if he seems to be in a lot of pain Tylenol :)

    It could be teething. I  asked my pediatrician about this, because LO is also drooling tons. He said drooling is normal sign of teething, but it might take a while, so not to expect the tooth to pop up anytime soon. LO is 10 weeks old though, yours might be closer to it.

    Thanks, everyone! He calmed down eventually last night and STTN so maybe he was just having a bad evening. I checked around his gums and didn't feel anything yet. But we have teethers in the fridge just in case.
