Is my son teething??

Question

he's 11 weeks he has been dribbling chewing on his fists very grumpy. he's usually so happy pulling away from his bottle even though he's still hungry is this teething????

Answer 1

yes he is

don't worry : )

Answer 2

it could be, it is a long process for some babies.  Do his gums look puffy or red?  Try a gel that rubs onto his gums, see if it soothes him.  Good luck! x

Answer 3

sounds like he is teething. find a teething toy that suites him. freezer type, hard toy type there are different ones. my daughter didn't like any of these so i would wash my hands and let her chew on my finger. she was born with a tooth, and now has two more growing. she is only 4 months. hope this helps.

Answer 4

very well could be...my son was about that age when he started teething. try some teething tablets or some orajel and see if it helps. i wasnt sure at first if it really was his teeth that early so i tried some of my friend's and he instantly stopped crying and was happy again. also, try a small stuffed toy or a wet washcloth for him to chew on. my son wont eat if his gums are bothering him either so i have to put orajel on them first, then he'll eat.  

Answer 5

it sound's like he is and if he's breast feeding and he bites your breast he probable is

Answer 6

It sounds like he could be starting to have teeth move in.

Answer 7

It's possible. My daughter didn't get her first teeth until 10 months, but that is late. Drooling is a big sign of teething and so it chewing on things.

Get him some teething rings. Walmart and Target sell a lot of different types in their baby depts.

You can also buy some baby oragel to help numb the area if he is in a lot of pain. Tylenol will also help him sleep at night.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

yeah he could be my daughter is 14 weeks and does  the same, she has been like it for quite a few weeks now but still no sign of any teeth yet. My doc said she wasn't teething but what do they know, i had 4 teeth at 4 months according to my mum!!!!!

Answer 9

definatly hes teething

   hope this helps :)

Answer 10

It sounds like he is teething. My niece began teething at 11 weeks, with the same symptoms, She is now 16 Months and has had all her teeth apart from the back molars.  Also babies do tend to pull away from the bottle as the sucking action is painful for them.  

With my daughter I have found Anbesol on the gums to be excellent for teething.

Answer 11

my nephew has been dribbling insane amounts since he was 10 weeks... try a dummy it will help with the dribbling and teething if it is x

Answer 12

Yep, sounds just right. My daughter started teething at that age she is 4 months and there isnt any yet, but i can feel something under the gums. Hes probably in pain and using the bottle nipple for pain comfort

Answer 13

definetly sounds like hes teething. Get some ashtons powder from the chemist or even bonjela. Just check the age on the products

Answer 14

He sounds like he is teething.  I have found the the Hyland's Homeopathic Teething Tablets works wonders.  They are great because they are natural and you can still give Tylenol with the teething tablets, if the tablets don't seem to help.

Answer 15

yes he could be an early teether try Bonjela for pain

Answer 16

I thought my son was too and he's 12 weeks tomorrow. A few weeks ago at his 2 month appointment the doc said no he wasn't teething yet but that the teeth that will come in might be pushing on his gums a little. My son also drools and chomps his fist and hands a lot.

The youngest she said she saw with teeth was a 4 month old with 8 teeth.
