Teething question

What age do babies start teething?
Could it be possible for my DD to be teething at 7 weeks old?? I only wonder because she is dribbling rather a lot and has her fist in her mouth, which I know can be a sign for wanting food but I don't think this is the case every time.

After about 6 weeks hand sucking isn't a reliable hunger sign. Have a look here.

Does she seem in any pain or distress?

Babies can be born with teeth so teething can start at any time. If they are just handsucking and not chewing its not teething. If you see your lo chew a lot then it is teethong more than likely. Look into amber and teething mittens
