I think she's teething...

[umchuck]

I have a three month old who is constantly chewing her fists, anything else she can get her hands on and dribbling. She doesn't seem to be in any pain; could she be teething?

[fortyplus]

She could be, but hands, feet and just about anything else just HAVE to be explored by putting them in the mouth!

3 months is early for teething, but some babies are even born with teeth so it's by no means totally unlikely

Yep defo teething as mine was like that from 8 weeks old but didnt get her first tooth till she was 6 m old. Have u got any teething rings? as they are so soothing for those red raw hot gums

[umchuck]

yes - she could well be just exploring - hadn't thought of that. might stop panicking for the minute then... thanks

[umchuck]

will purchase a teething ring tomorrow. she has other toys she chews but a teething ring may well help. thank you.

The best ones are the ones you can put in the fridge to cool them

[umchuck]

cool.

also her skin has a slightly bumpy rash on her cheeks which I thought was a sign too but maybe its just from her touching her face all the time.....

Oh - now it definitely sounds like teething!
