My Baby Is Teething Already!

I still can’t believe it.  But alas, it is true.  My soon-to-be 4 month old is teething already!

It started a few weeks ago when I noticed excessive drool — just one of the tell-tale signs.  This drool, accompanied by a fussy baby who kept stuffing his fist in his mouth was the giveaway.  But I couldn’t believe it…I just thought it was WAYYY too early for the process to begin.

According to WebMD babies usually start teething at about 6 months, but it is apparently still completely normal for the process to begin as early as 3 months!  Definitely news to me!!

Once I realized the inevitable was happening (and that my baby was growing more rapidly than I ever imagined) I went ahead and ordered a few teethers.  Pretty soon I’ll be shopping for pull-ups. Tear.

So I’m curious, when did your little one start teething?

    Haha! Pull-ups might be a little while yet! 🙂 My daughter started teething at about 2 months – or at least, she showed all the signs – but then it stopped for about 6 months and I don’t think her first teeth popped until she was around 7 or 8 months old! Teething is just one of those annoying things that seems to like to pop up, just when you think you have the HAPPIEST baby… 😛

    […] I also love the loop or necklace pattern this Safari teether takes on, which makes it is super easy for baby to hold and take with on the go. It is recommended for infants 3 months +…because we all know teething can start that early! […]
