Nearly 3 month old teething

I'm new hear and a first time mum and I need some advice. My son is 12 weeks and I think he is starting to teeth. He has been dribbling loads and chewing his fists and fretting a lot more than normal. His gums feel really hard especially at the bottom front of his mouth.

Hello there! Sounds like you've read the signs right - it definitely sounds like teething. He's likely to be a bit grizzly due to the pain. How are you finding it?

Not too bad so far he just keeps drenching the front of his clothes so I've had to order him some dribble bibs

Sounds like he could well be teething ... Don't hold your breathe to see first tooth tho... Can take a few months sometimes fr staff of symptoms ... Was around 3 months of drooling with my LO

Completley agree with Roxannacar, mine started with teething symptoms at 3 months and then settled down after a few weeks. My midwife said their teeth often begin to move around 3 months before they break through. We have had a few of those bad patches, but she’s 8 months and still no teeth!

Hi, my daughter also started teething around the 12 week mark. We got some baby teething gel and some flat soft teethers for her to chew on. she seemed to enjoy eating our fingers because they were soft for her to bite down on. also noticed she was forcing her fists far back to bite down at the back of her gums but then making herself gag. again the small flat teethers good to let them chew anywhere in the mouth. Nuby did the best teether I thought, can put it in the fridge for added relief.
