Teething at 8 weeks? TMI WARNING

Hey

My son who is 8 weeks has started being very fussy, is drooling a lot and his poo's smell like vinegar and are yellow/green (picture of a bit of his nappy attached) . He also has a slight red bum. His cheeks are rosy too!! He is also not sleeping as well. Also his bottom gum at the front has a white outline of two teeth.

Now I am sure 8 weeks is too young to teeth? I have never heard/known a baby this young to teeth. I'm a first time mum and very worried about this vinegar smell. I did a google search and it said teething poo can smell like this.

I might ask HV, but knowing them they will say it's way too early.

Has anyone experienced this with their babies at this age (or around it)?

TIA
xx

Hi my baby did the same but about 10 weeks. Hes now 6 months still the same poos as the photo you attached sometimes waaay more runnier and we are still in the teething trenches. Did any of your little ones cut through yet and what helped because Im really struggling nothing seems to ease the pain enough

He's 11 months now and has 2 bottom teeth and top ones coming through. It's so horrible seeing him in pain but the lifesavers for us when teething were nurofen, bickipegs and Aston and persons teething gel (hope I spelt that right!) x
