Teething or just found hands

Hey Mamas! My boy is 10 weeks 3 days...He has started sucking his hands and anything he can. I was wondering if this could be the start of teething. Or do babies just explore once they realise they have hands. At the same time hes gone mad for his dummy wanting it constantly. I dont like him puttin his hands in his mouth due to germs but I dont want to be a paro mum so I just bought some water wipes to keep them clean. I know it could be a que for hunger but its all day and even when hes just fed...x

It's definitely not a queue for hunger so don't worry about that.

Sounds like he's just found out how to sick his hands and is just paying with his new skill Smile
