Can an 11 week old start teething?

DS is 11 weeks. The last few days his cheeks have been very rosy, he's been extra whiny (like he's in pain) and chomping on everything from his fist to my face!! He calms down after calpol. Didn't have any of this with DD who's 11, she just woke up one day with two teeth no bother! Anyone else's little one teeth this early? He's too young and small yet 😫

Yes! My DS has his first teeth through before 3 months.

I recommend alternating calpol and ibuprofen, plus nelsons teething granules are good to cause temporary relief especially when you are waiting for medicine to kick in. And also anbesol liquid is amazing, get it over the counter and is much better than any of the gels etc. Hope that's helpful!
