My 12 Week Old is Teething?!?

She has three teeth that have broke skin, she teethes on her hand but not her teethers. It's like she doesn't know how, what can I buy that's safebut effective for relieving pain? Does this mean she can start baby food soon?

Suggestion:

Sure sounds like teething to me! My 1st daughter got her 1st four teeth at this age. What worked best for my children were Hyland's Teething Tablets. They worked so much better than the Orajel or Ambesol gels. The Hyland's are all natural. Not only did they work amazingly at taking away the pain, they also helped the babies relax and get some much needed sleep. I highly recommend them. They did not have any side effects and are very safe. Another thing that worked was taking a clean washcloth. Wet it. Put it in a baggie and put it in the freezer for a couple hours. Then take it out of the baggie and let the baby teeth on that. The coldness of it seems to ease some of the pain.

my sons 13 weeks and ive the same problem he cant hold the teething ring to him mouth and when i hold it in his mouth he just pushes it away.if i were you i would wait until your baby is about 4 months before you give her solid food because she might not be able to digest is properly.

Most doctors reccomend starting baby food around 4-6 months. I started my daughter on cereal first at 4 months. Its normal for some babys to get teeth as early as 2 months. Some things you can do is get a wash cloth wet and freeze it. It'll feel good on her gums. other things are baby orajel. I know there are also teething tablets that melt on her tounge. But i never used them.

Good luck! :)
