So my son is now 5 weeks old.

He never had soft gums from the day he was born - they were rock hard and within 2 weeks we could feel the ridges of his little teeth.

The past few days he's not been eating as much, he's broken out in a rash and has been very fussy. This morning he wouldn't stop fussing, unless we had our finger in his mouth and we would chew on them slightly, so we tried abit of baby tylenol and baby orajel. He settled down immediately, but I'm still slightly skeptical about him teething so early (mostly because I want my baby to stay my tiny baby).

Any one with experience?
