Teething? Really?

Julien has been SO fussy the past day or two and he's been drooling and jamming his hands into his mouth. I just thought it was him being...well, him or that he's going through a growth spurt (he's been eating non-stop). But I found an article about teething (http://www.todaysparent.com/baby/article.jsp?content=1064191&page=1) and he seems to have all the symptoms. At the same time, he's only 3 months and 1 week old. Is it possible? When did your kids start teething?

my son is 3 1/2 months and yup..that little white tooth has popped through his gums

my friend's daughter got her first tooth right when she turned three months

nate got his first bottom 2 at 2 months!!! so it definatly possible.

Chelsie has had all of the symptoms of teething since she was 1 month.

It can happen-- some babies are born with teeth already.

OMG, I really hope it's not a tooth because I can not imagine how painful breastfeeding will be. It's bad enough as it is because this kid has no concept of treating the girls with a gentle touch, but if there's a tooth coming out, I think I'm going to have to wean him sooner than I thought....

Born with teeth: Really? I've heard that too but I thought it was just some urban myth to scare people. That would be insane having a baby that young with teeth.

Yep, they can be, it's really rare though. My aunts cousin had a son with two tiny teeth on the bottom in the front.

And good luck on the boobie feeds with some teeth, heh. I was always worried about that part of it. :p

Wow!   On the teeth!

And for the BFing with a toothy baby - did you do it? I just don't want him to gnaw off my poor nipples....

edit to add: Oooh, I just noticed your little girl is a few days younger than my baby, so I guess you probably haven't encountered teeth yet. She's beautiful, btw!

My son started teething at 2 months....his first popped through at 4 months 6 days. He is now 8 months old with 8 teeth while working on 2 more. He's pretty far ahead of most of the people I know, but it is possible....

I breastfed until nate was 13 months-he then weened himself (Iwould have carried on)
dont give up-he loves you and your boob-but most of all he loves his food.....he will learn to be gentle  

my son did the same thing starting at 2 months and i thought teething since his dad teethed at 2 months - well he is still doing it and he is now almost 5 months and still no teeth. I have no clue what the deal is.

Quoting nicole bianca:“ .he will learn to be gentle  ”

Really? Can they learn to be gentle? Because at this point, I'm in so much pain. We were doing good with the breastfeeding and then lately he's learned this terrific trick - he sucks in, grabs firm hold of my poor nipple and then yanks back with his entire head. I can never predict when he'll do this, but it hurts like an SOB and I think he's done some permanent damage. Then, when I let out a shriek from the pain, he doesn't let go, he just looks up at me (nipple still firmly grasped) and smiles.

oh that does sound sore....I had the occasional bite-but if I yelped he would get upset and cry....I think thats why he eventually stopped.

maybe keep tyring to teach him that hes hurting you when he bites-hopefully he will get the message.

good luck-you'll figure it out
