My baby seems to be chewing on her hands a lot and she also seems a little more cranky than usual. What are the signs of teething?

My little guy is cutting two teeth already, even though he is only 3 months old. The real signs just before I saw them cutting through the gums were drooling and very very upset, inconsolable crying. Good luck!

I was wondering the same thing. I have a 4 1/2 month old who is constantly putting his hands in his mouth, Cannot lay him down without crying and is not that interested in feeding..could it be teething?

you can usually see the teeth (light pink spots under the gums) through the gums at the bottom of the gum line

excessive drool, crankiness, and low grade fevers. try gerber biter biscuits and teethers made with water (in case they bust) and they make other hard biscuits for teething babies, check your local store for a selection just make sure to check the age and guides on them ( anything for sitters is great)
