My little man is the same, the gp said the can start teething a while before any teeth actually come through, we find teethers and teething granules help a lot, matchstick monkeys are great as they are thin and easy for them to hold.
It's a developmental stage normally at this age rather than teething. Another vote for the matchstick monkey teethers though, my little one is the same age as yours and loves it
So I didn’t know until my first at 3 months is when their saliva glands start fully working so they start dribbling loads at 3 months ish. Obviously teething could also be starting I just thought it was interesting. I thought my first was teething, she wasn’t 😂 but she did have teeth earlyish at 5 months for her first two. Xx
@Jess definitely my toddler has been teething since September with her last molars but they only just cut through last month. On and off for months the poor love x
Teething granules are fab! Seem to calm my little boy loads and can use them as often as you need! And teether toys for them to chew. Also can get a clean cold spoon for them to chew on if you don’t have any teethers yet 🥰
Thanks so much lovelies! Super helpful 💓 @Jess how did you figure she wasn’t teething yet? 😀
@Kajal I mean I suppose looking back it could have been but I also just thought at this age mouthing things is developmental and so it the saliva thing so I just thought I was wrong. I think it’s tricky when so many things overlap with others to know. But I’d just offer things for your LO to gum and chew if you think it is. It’s not going to hurt her if she isn’t and it’ll just help to build mouth muscle for when shes ready to wean. At this age I used to hold it in my LOs mouth/ rub gently against gums as she couldn’t hold it hard enough for that. Xx
Thanks @Jess that makes sense! Yeah hard to figure out exactly what it is. But agree no harm in giving the teethers already - thanks so much! ☺️
Mines the same, I had a feel of his gums to see if I can feel teeth and couldn't so I'm not sure if it is teething or he just wants to eat everything but the drool is terrible! 😂
