My son was 12 weeks yesterday and is already teething! I didn't believe it when his caregiver mentioned that she needed me to provide him with orajel in his diaper bag because she saw two white bumps at the bottom of his mouth. Plus, he has started drooling uncontrollably, but has been doing that and sucking on his hands a lot in the last few weeks. I truly believed it because he has been cranky in a way that is different than usual and when I was trying to calm him last night, nothing worked. I put a little bit of orajel in his mouth and he fell asleep withing 2 minutes. He went from hysteria to sleep so quickly so I can't imagine that it isn't teething.
She mentioned that increased frequencey of bowel movements was a sign as well-ever heard of that? He was going every 2-3 days (that was lovely!) and now he has gone three times in 4 days.
Isn't this too early? Have any of your kids teethed this early? He has had SEVERE acid reflux which we have just gotten under control. I was hoping to have a little break before the teeting started! But, that is the joy of being a mom!
Any suggestions and/or advice are greatly welcomed...
