Help - teething at 2 months 😩

It looks like an epstein pearl rather than a tooth, my boy had a few, they go away on their own x

The first teeth to come through are the bottom front two or the top front two so it’s highly unlikely this is a tooth x

thanks, i thought it might be some kind of cyst too but it feels very hard and sharp to the touch. Did your son’s one feel that way too?

yeah almost like a stone x

My son has his bottom 2 front teeth & his top 2 first molars & that’s it.. teeth don’t always come through in the order they are meant too, however when he’s about to cut a tooth I notice a dimple on his gums about a week before the actual tooth comes through. He also had all the signs of teething at 2 months and got his first tooth at 12 months!

Ours started teething at 2 months, dr said just wait it out. You can give them frozen milk in the netted food tools and we are just holding the teethers for him or giving him our clean fingers to chew on he is also getting better at chewing in his hands too

You can give Tylenol and/or teething tablets, check with your peds office for exact amounts. Gel is actually not recommended.

My ped goes by weight for most medicines instead of age alone.

Teething can occur at any point and in some rare case some babies are born with teeth.

This happened with my boy A
around the same time! His gums were swollen, I could see the teeth under the gums, then a week or so later the swelling and the teeth were gone! He's now got is first teeth at 6m and they're the expected 2 bottom front teeth, you could try a muslin with a corner soaked in milk and refrigerated, because the milk smells familiar he might be more willing to give it a suck or chew!

It's called Epstein Pearls! Totally normal. Not teething, though. The first teeth to come in will be the 2 bottom front.

I saw a woman use her breast milk to make baby popsicles and soothe her babies teething gums. Breast milk has healing properties, whether your baby is actually teething it may help.

That’s an Epstein Pearl not a tooth x

Personally I found not many of the teething gels powders etc actually do anything, if she was having a really tough time I would give my girl paracetamol, or frozen breastmilk in one of those refillable dummy things. Teeth can come in any order, my friend's daughter had her first four front teeth before she got anything on the bottom, and my daughter's didn't come in the typical order either. I do think it's worth keeping an eye on, if it is a tooth it will keep growing and in a month you'll see it properly through but if it's Epstein pearl I'm not sure what happens with them if they need treatment or what!

Thank you all! They definitely do look like Epstein pearls, just confusing as it feels sharp like a tooth and he’s also got other symptoms of teething! Will wait it out and see 🤷🏻‍♀️

Following cause I'm pretty sure my 3 month old is about to start teething
