2.5 Months...too Early For Teathing ? Posted: 05-28-07 07:51am
My little guy has been more fussy than
usual the last few days. I have noticed he
has been gnawing his fists and drooling a
bit?
I have tried using other things to put in
his mouth but he just cries and tries to
spit them out.
It just seems like 2.5 months is too young
for teething to start. Could it be
teething or something else?

Some kids teethe really early. My nephew
had a tooth at 2 wks old and another a few
weeks later. So, no 2.5 mths old is not
too early. It really depends on the child.
Good luck with that!

gnawing on fists and drooling is common
around this age. the drooling is because
they start producing more saliva and don't
really know how to swallow when they're
not eating, so out it pours.
to the op, he could be teething or he
could be going through a growth spurt
(that can cause fussiness too). good luck!
