Hi everyone! Fairly new here so apologies if this isn't the right place to post this but I have a question about my little girl. She is 15 weeks + 5 days old. Normally she is an absolute dream but these past few days she has been the complete opposite and I'm wondering, could she be teething? She has been showing most of the signs, pulling her ears, dribbling, her hands constantly in her mouth, I gave her some teething rings the other day to chew on (I had to hold them there for her as she's unable to do this on her own right now) and she seemed to like them, she's been crying quite a bit and just generally unable to settle. The only thing is, I tried to have a feel inside her mouth & couldn't tell if any teeth were coming through but then I don't know if that's normal or not.
I honestly don't know what else it could be but I am aware that maybe 15 weeks is a little to early for teething. Online advice says 6 months that babies start to teeth
I'm a first time mum so really have no idea and I have no one close to me with any small children so unable to ask anyone for advice.
It might be worth mentioning too, I bottle feed her and she's been turning her head from side to side loads during feeds which is so strange and quite frustrating for both me and her and I just don't know why she's started doing that when she never used to before! I thought, maybe try a different teat size - so I tried 3 different sizes and it didn't change anything. I honestly have no idea what is wrong but any advice/opinions would be greatly appreciated
