My 3 month old appears to be teething but I'm not sure for definite, it seems a bit early but is there anyone out there who might be able to offer me any stories of their kids and their experiences at a similar age?
She has been doing the following for around a week:
• chewing hands
• dribbling/bubbles mouth
• cranky/not sleeping during day
• biting me when feeding (BF)
• since two days ago has stopped latching on me as strong as if her mouth hurts her
• we introduced a dummy a few weeks ago and although she will take it occasionally she is now just gnawing/biting it
Is this normal? I didn't expect it so early and I'm not sure if it's teething or something else. She also had her 12 week jags yesterday and apart from being a little grizzly has been fine. I think the biggest thing concerning me is the latching on more shallow as if her mouth is bothering her and she is biting me either at first or after a feed.
I haven't noticed her gums being red though...
Any similar experiences would be much appreciated and any advice to relieve the discomfort if so, we have a matchstick teething monkey which she will sook for a wee while but then gets frustrated.
Thanks
