Does this sound like teething?

[Flowerface]

DD is 13 weeks and has started eating both her fists ravenously, but refusing food (she is BF). When she does feed, it is often preceeded by a bout of crying, and sometimes she keeps pulling off and crying throughout the feed (it's quite infuriating..).

Does this sound like teething? DP says that I am crazy and that it's too soon...

Yes, it certainly could be. DS1 started showing these signs at exactly 2 months old, along with a red cheek. He got his first tooth at about 4 months

Sorry, I meant 3 months old

My DS was doing the same thing at about that age, (also BF.)He hasn't any teeth through yet & suffers from time to time (bless.)
We did also have a problem as he got thrush in his mouth though at about 19 weeks.
Apparently it can cause them to pull off when feeding & cry a bit because it's uncomfortable to feed. - Whilst it's probably not thrush & more likely to be teeting, it may be worth just trying to have a little look in her mouth & look for any white / creamy patches on the back of her tongue. (Look when she hasn't just fed though as milk stays on the tongue for a while.)

My dd started doing that at about 3 months but her first two teeth have only appeared in the last week at 6 months. However, I think that teeth move around in the jaw for quite a while before they actually pop up and this is why babies often are obsessed by biting down for a while before the teeth actually appear.

My DS did something like this at around the same time. I tried everything and eventually came to the conclusion that he was very very tired (he refused to sleep for very long in the day). I reached some very bad points because its so awful trying to feed through the screaming. It did improve slowly, however. Teeth didn't appear for another few months.

I sympathise, Penguinjunk, it is very trying...

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Woobie if she had thrush, wouldn't there be some sign of something on me? Or does it not work like that?

give some calpol about 20 mins before a feed and see if this makes a difference. if it does its definately teething.
