I think my 3 month old is teething?

My 3 month old daughter seems to be teething already... she's dribbling a lot, putting her hands in her mouth, got slightly red cheeks and also abit grouchy does this sounds like teething symptoms? And does anyone have any remedies? I have some bonjela but I'm abit reluctant to use it as Iv heard it's got some chemicals in. I wasn't expecting her to start teething this soon but apparently it's not uncommon?!

Sounds like she is. But be warned, the first one takes a fucking age to come through.

Calpol and nurofen as required and dentinox/bonjela and teething granules, obviously also if required.

To be completely blunt, if she’s suffering then you have a choice: either use something with these “nasty chemicals” or let her suffer.

Ds2 is now teething and he is in so much pain that I’m just giving him whatever he needs to give him some comfort. Your dd may suffer a lot, she might not. But I can tell you now, I can understand now why, in a world with no kids painkillers, dentinox or granules, I can COMPLETELY understand why parents used to use alcohol. If they’re in pain then I can imagine most people will do absolutely anything to ease it.

Ds2 is 5 months btw, and the dribbling etc started 3 months ago

Sounds like teething don't be fooled she's only 3 Months, my little boy had his first two bottom teeth come through at 4 Months 😳 Then the rest have followed and he now has 7 teeth at 8 Months Old not in the order they say they come through either.
Anbesol liquid is brilliant as our little one suffered a lot. Also Teetha granules.
Good luck x

Also putting pacifiers in the fridge was a godsend for ds and really helped sooth his gums

Hi, There is no rule when your baby starts teething. Some babies are born with teeth Grin.
I can recommend you an article, which was a great help for me, a complete how-to guide helping to recognize teething symptoms and remedies, so maybe you will find it useful as well: altodiversi.com/blogs/news/complete-guide-to-choose-the-best-amber-teething-necklace-2018
Good luck to you and Baby Smile
