Is he teething this early ??ok my son is 2weeks from 5 months ,he drooling a lot ,keep chewing on his hands ..my hands ..his dad hands..his toys ..and he's a little fussy
well my doctor told me all those symptoms are teething. my son started teething at 3ish months. he even had teeth starting to break through. but it first started with all the drooling and chewing on things.
my baby has been doing that since two months. she isn't teething. when they are teething their gums will be red and swollen. chewing on their hands is a normal part of their development, the drooling comes from their salivary glands kicking in but they don't have a swallowing reflex.
