Teething...

At two months? Is this possible? My little guy keeps chewing on his hand and his pacifier instead of sucking on it, is drooling so much, won’t take naps all of a sudden, wants to nurse CONSTANTLY, and is so so soooooo fussy. His daddy and I can’t figure out what’s wrong with our precious boy! 😭 picture added for cuteness overload

Maybe! But my little did this then too and didn’t get a tooth till 8 mo. Have you heard of wonder weeks? Maybe little is going through a developmental leap and this is how he’s coping. Worth looking into if you don’t already follow it. ❤️

Never heard I’d wonder weeks, I’ll look into it! Thanks!

Of*

Mine did the exact same! He got two teeth when he turned 4 months old.

My sons the same and he’s three months .

My 2 month baby girl does the same thing. I think she is just going through grow spurt and starts exploring her hands. Her fussiness gets better a little bit after week 10.

Could be a growth spurt

Get him a teething mitten from Amazon!

No problem happy to help

I just ordered one like 10 minutes ago! 😂 thanks!

I had teeth by 3mos my mom says so I guess it is possible .

Yes it’s very possible my son started getting his teeth at three months and I know of babies who are actually born with teeth so anything can happen each baby is different.

Definitely is!!!! My son started around then!

Thank you for the knowledge everyone! ♥️

There’s a chance it’s a growth spurt, but I had a pediatric dentist (we were there for a lip/tongue tie procedure) tell me that my little boy wasn’t teething at 2 months, and his first tooth started to poke through about a week later

Sucking on hands at 2 months is a normal developmental milestone

I have three kiddos. I feel like the whole first year they are either teething, sleep regressing, or snotty nosed. Lol hang in there mama. It gets better!!!!!

Mine is two months and doing the same thing!!! Got him “gummee mitts” and he loves them! Chews on them now instead of his hands and I think it helps his gums feel better!

My son started teething at 2 months and first tooth broke at 5+1/2 months! It’s a long exhausting process but do what you can to soothe him

Teething suuuuucks. My girl got her first tooth at 4 months and pit bull lock jawed on my nipple a few times, and I was strictly pumping there on out. I used gripe water with her a noticeable difference for sure. Best of luck 💖💖

Our LO started teething around 2 months but didn’t cut any teeth till she was 4 months.

My son is 14 weeks and started doing the same around a month ago! Its definitely teething.

My daughter started teething at 3 months

Teething can range between 3 months all the until about 15 months sometimes 18 months. So starting to chew hands at 2 months is perfectly normal. Every kid is different

Yes get some Camilia

My daughter started teething at 2 Months. Had one tooth by 4 month with the second one cutting also. She’s now 7 months cutting her 4th and 5th tooth. Some babies get them early. Update. She’s 8.5 months cutting her 8th tooth. So some babies get them all close together too.

My daughter started at 2 months, didnt get her first tooth til 12 months

It's very possible. Early teething is common actually.

I’m going through the with my little one rn she’s 2 months and 2 week and once she hit the 2 month mark has been extremely fussy not herself at all, constant eating her hand and drooling a bunch and it’s hard to console her at times she’ll just keep screaming 🙁🙁🙁

My LO started teething around 2-3 months he’s 6 months with 2 teeth coming in!

My son started teething at 1.5 months. Anyone recommend anything since his too young for a lot of things ?

Gave mine gripe water. It does wonders for teething, gas, and even coughing

Yes it is possible. But observe and talk with your doctor just in case. My daughter wants to nurse constantly at that age and turns out she had silent reflux...good luck mom!

My daughter started teething at 2 months she is almost 8 months now and has 2 teeth.. the second has only just broke through couple days ago

My 4 month old twins have been drooling and chewing on their whole hands the fussiness has begun I believe teething is upon us 😭😢😴😑mommy sleep deprivation round 2 has begun

My son is two months old and we did this for about 2 weeks. He seems to have settled. For the chewing I bought nubby teething pacifiers and have been making breast milk popsicles!

Super possible lol some babies are born with a tooth

Hey so your son could be going through growth spurts where they just eat eat and eat. Or it could be teething because my first one did the same drooling and got her first tooth at 5months.

My baby is 3 months 2wks she's been drooling and putting her hands in her mouth the last month and over the last week she's started chewing her fingers

Mine started around 2 months also and he had a tooth when he turned 3 months and another came when he turned 4 months. Buy lots of teething toys!

Yes it sure is! My daughter started teething around 2/3 months and finally at 8.5 months her two bottom teeth broke through!! Dipping a washcloth in chamomile tea and freezing it for baby to suck/ chew on is a great way to help give them relief

Same and at 4 I think he's cutting teeth and its brutal

Yes! My baby boy is almost 3 months and hes doing the same thing!! I think it is possible! Going out to get teething toys 😂

My baby girl started teething early 3 months or maybe a week before 3 months and she’s now 4 months and i give her Tylenol every once in a while to help

It is indeed possible ! I had my daughter at the pediatrician right before three months and the doctor told me it was her teething! The drooling, constant chewing, night waking, crankiness. And at 8 months she FINALLY got two bottom teeth! Lol. When it’s really bad I switch between Tylenol and Motrin and that helps a lot.

Yup. My little one started teething about 2.5 months.

Yep. Totally teething. My two month old decided to start as soon as we all went on vacation last week. Oh the fussiness... The hand chewing is insane, but he loves chewing on my finger the most. We use the natural Nuby Soothing Gel occasionally for when chewing makes him cry more, and it works a little bit, but not that much and not for very long honestly. Been buying all kinds of teething toys for him, but he still prefers Mommy's finger 😅

my sons teeth started shifting when he was 3 months, however none have sprouted yet... super weird, but just like my son, FULL of surprises

It’s completely normal my son started the same thing along the same time

I thought I was crazy. I have the same concerns with my little one. He is two months as well. Drooling, wanting food more but not eating as much as he was, extremely fussy, chewing on his hands, and now instead of being independent while sleeping he needs me otherwise he will just keep crying.

Yup! Totally possible of teething! My girl started that early. She’s 7 months and she’s working on number 6 already. It’s been one after another for us. Bibs are part of her daily outfit.

Yes my baby had 2 teeth by 4 months started teething at about 2 months

Yes it’s crazy that testing can begin as early as two months. My daughter has been teething since she was 2 1/2 months and still hadn’t had any teeth pop through and she is 5 months now. Cold wash cloth to suck on is very helpful. They also make gloves with teething grip at end.

I bought like 10 or 12 of the baby wash cloths on Amazon when mine started teething. I would dampen them, put them in a plastic bag, and refrigerate them. Whenever they would fuss I would give them one to chew on. Relief and mess clean up 2 for 1! But that age their teeth start to shift so there is a good chance that is what is happening.

His jaw is probably preparing for his teeth as well
