Teething?

Is anyone’s little one showing signs of teething? My little girl is only 9 weeks but is slobbering horrendously and constantly shoving her fist in her mouth over the last couple of days. She’s also so unsettled - but she’s never been a placid or happy baby so I don’t know if this is related! Also, can anyone recommend teething products they’ve found/know are good effective? Thank you!

Yessss I feel like my little boy is exactly the same!!!!

Remember that this is very normal baby behaviour- slobbering and eating their hands - especially at this age! Doesn’t necessarily mean teething, my boys the same (doesn’t mean they’re definitely not) but I’d suggest considering if they have any additional signs! Signs of teething • their gum is sore and red where the tooth is coming through • they have a mild temperature of less than 38C • they have 1 flushed cheek • they have a rash on their face • they're rubbing their ear • they're gnawing and chewing on things a lot • they're more fretful than usual • they're not sleeping very well

My little one has been teething since 5 weeks old, we were told by the gp to use Calpol and teething gel.. even though Calpol is marked as 2 months plus and teething gel is 3 months up
