Surely he can’t be teething???

My son has just turned 3 months and had his vaccinations a few days ago. He has also started rolling from his back to front as of last week!

After a sleep he gets up and feeds, and is happy enough. I change his nappy and then he gets some play time on his mat. This last week I have noticed that he gets increasingly annoyed/grizzly VERY quickly during his playtime. This is when he is on his front or back. He is constantly trying to put his fist into his mouth, is dribbling and has developed eczema around his neck (not sure if it is related?). He also likes it when I put my finger in his mouth and bites down quite hard with his gums.

Could he be teething this early??? Or is there some other explanation for this behaviour?

If it is, can I do anything to make him feel better??

Hes of the age where he wants to explore, one of the ways they do this is by experimenting with their mouth. Daniel did it. i was sure it was teething but it wasnt, he didn't get teeth for another 6 months! Its normal for them to chew and suck on their fists, toys, anything within reach.

The eczema is probably from the drool. Daniel got it on his cheeks and chin from all the drool

DD is 6 months and we have been having that sort of behaviour on and off from about 3 months. I think she is/was exploring and at times her teeth were moving about. A few times they looked pretty close to cutting then dissapeared again.

Yeah that sounds like pretty common behaviour for that age. They are usually just exploring by putting things in their mouth. Although in saying that I remember wondering the same thing with my DS1 when he was three months old and then his two bottom front teeth appeared a week later.

So teething is a possibility. It's early, but definitely not too uncommon.
