Teething

I think my 7 week old is teething, he doesn’t want his dummy and doesn’t finish all his bottles is is very unsettled and feels hot and has flushed cheeks but doesn’t have a temperature also started dribbling and dribbling out his milk which he has never done. he has started trying to chew on my shoulder and chewing his hands. If I put a hard object in his mouth (my knuckle, teething toy) he tries to chew it. Could this be teething or something different?

My sons teeth came through at about 5 months. I think they say roughly from 6 months. But they can show signs of teething for ages before any come through as the teeth move about. Teething granulate helped my son.

My son showed symptoms from about 10 weeks but didn't get any teeth until 9 months! Just a warning lol.
