could be teething, or he could just have found his hands.. babies put everything in their mouths because their mouths are the most sensitive part of their body.
I would look for other signs of teething though.. such as drool (as said before),swollen gums, being fussy, eating less, pink cheeks and some people say they can get a fever.. some say no fever. IDK.

we have hand chewing too, i think she may have found that her hands actually belong to her

i'm hoping she's not starting teething, i can't bare the thought of my princess being in pain.

Was told by pediatrician that chewing on fist is not always teething it could mean he is selfsoothing himself when he/she feel overstimulated.
