8 week old chews on his bottle nipple?

Question

My 8 week old has had a couple of random evenings where he just cries quite hard for no apparent reason, we check him throughly to make sure there's nothing wrong that we can see, but I wonder if he has started teething? I have noticed that he now chews on his bottle nipple while he's feeding from it. Other than that, there are no signs of teething.

Answer 1

he could be teething my son had four teeth by the time he was 4 months old.

Answer 2

Better the bottle nipple than yours. LOL He may have begun teething.  

Answer 3

he may have begun teething- also, if you have been adding baby rice to his formula to thicken it, it may be too thick to go thru the hole in the nipple.. sometimes you have to get a safety pin, heat it up over the flame on the stove and open up the nipple more...pretty big...  

since he's 8 weeks, it's a good chance he's teething... but you have to take into account that he's figuring out how things are working. babies are still working on their reflexes still as a newborn, and right now his main focus is on food... so i'd say he's teething and figuring out how to work his mouth to get ready for more food...

Answer 4

hmmmm thats odd...baby are different so i dunno
