Teething at 8 weeks!

Any recommendations for an 8 week old teething?

Any toys that are suitable at this age that have worked? I feel so bad as she isn't allowed any medication at this age.

Are they definitely teething or has she maybe just found her hands? We thought this about the same age but baby had simply found hands and loved putting them into their mouth.

@Markies I thought this until last night, I sat and watched her and she is crying at the same as chomping on her hands but it sooths her when she chomps on my finger as I know where to put it x

Babies can have 2.5ml of paracetamol (Calpol) from 2 months. If she's really struggling then I'd give her some. DS started teething early and I bought loads of different teething toys/rings/gloves but they were all useless as they were too big for his month and he obviously didn't have the coordination to use them properly. He's 9 months now and only just getting the hang of Sophie the giraffe, the rest were a waste of money.
