When did your children start teething? And what would be considered to early for teething? I have noticed Brayden start drueling alot which is similar to other babies I know. Also he has started chewing on his fists which may just be a 'hey I have hands' kind of finding but I'm not sure. I think he is *way* to little for teething but i was just wondering

Ava started drooling and eating her hands around 3 months and just got her first 2 teeth at 5 1/2 months about a week or two ago.

our pediatrician said babies start to produce more saliva and don't really know how to swallow it so they end up drooling. he said a lot of people confuse this with teething.

babies are all different though, some get teeth at 3 months, some at 6 months, and some at 10 months. you just have to wait and see.

Babies can start teething very early, it doesn't mean they're gunna get teeth any time soon. Symptoms can last for months.. drooling, chewing hands & anything they can get their hands on, grouchiness.. Teething is fun fun fun! Laughing
