Teething.... At 9 weeks!?!?!!

[Kato2]

His hands are in his mouth permanently (more so at night or nap time). He's drooling, bit irritable..... Is this even possible?

Oh noooooooo!

Yes, it's possible. Some babies are born with teeth. But it can take months. My LO started with teething symptoms at 11 weeks, but she's still got no teeth at 7 months!

Emilia (9weeks) is a dribble monster atm! Constantly chewing her hands and everything she can grab.

My LO started then
10 weeks later and no tooth!

It's possible, but a lot of babies start drooling and chewing on stuff at around 9 or 10 weeks and it's not usually a sign that teeth are right around the corner. My daughter has been doing the same thing for the past couple of months and I was told that it's probably just because the teeth are moving around under the gums, but they likely won't cut through for some time yet.

I think a lot of babies just do this.

My LO drools and chews on his hands. I asked my pediatrician about it today and he said drooling and teething aren't really related at this age.

My LO constantly dribbles and chews her hands. Shes sitting there quite happily now doing it. Shes been doing it since 9 or 10 weeks and shes 17 weeks now. I dont think shes teething yet, although i have considered many times that she might be but i dont think she is yet. She just likes chewing her hand and helps her to settle at nap times and bed time. Shes not showing any other signs yet like red cheeks or high temp.

Its rare, but it happens. (People will be fed up hearing this) lol. My LO cut her first tooth at 15 weeks and by 17 weeks she has 3 teeth. Theres another bottom one ready to appear and her dentist said the top teeth look close to making an appearance too. So many people didnt believe me that I ended up having to take a pic for facebook. This is it. The 3 teeth she has are on the bottom.xx
