Teething

[A_anu]

My 9 weeks old baby chews on her fist, drools a bit and passes yellowish sticky poo. Are these signs of early teething please?

Thanks

They probably are early signs of teething. But I wouldn't hold my breath. My boy was showing them from 8 weeks old and the first teeth appeared when he was 10 months!!

Good luck!

Thanks a lot. This helps.

Definitely- our baby had teething signs for ages and ages before any actually came through! x

Thanks GM99. This is useful info.

It can be the start of it but it can also just be a developmental thing - saliva starts around 8 weeks I think and chewing can be natural comforting. Like Buisquits said, it can take ages. My LO is 20 weeks, has had a few bad teething days but no sign of a tooth anywhere near. Give her lots of nice things to chew, my LO loves Sophie the giraffe, especially when she’s been in the fridge.

Thanks Arya10. I'm convinced now it's ok for her to have some of those signs come up.

I'd say so hun. My son was teething from 9 weeks and confirmed by the doctor (I was there for something else with him n asked them to check whilst we were there) xx

She can also just be hungry. Hello poo is normal if she's breastfeeding.

Hi my 9week old is doing the same things.. I do believe teething early..

What happens with your child, did a tooth Come fast?

Saliva glands develop at around 2 months. My baby was the same. Drool and red cheeks for weeks. First teeth came through at 6 months.
