My LO seems to be teething at 3mo. She refuses to latch for long and chews on her hands/fingers non stop. She's also crankier than usual.. Is it possible for a baby to teeth so early? What can we do to ease her pain?

I have read that because the developmental rates is different from every baby, it is possible for babies to start teething at 3 months old. You can see if your baby is displaying any of these other signs that are commonly associated with teething: - irritability or fussiness - drooling (could lead to facial rash) - gum swelling and sensitivity - gnawing or chewing behaviour - refusing food - sleep problems To help soothe the pain, you can give her something to chew on (such as chilled rubber teething toys), massaging your baby's gums, and giving her lots of cuddles and attention. For more information, you can refer to this article: http://www.hpb.gov.sg/HOPPortal/health-article/2980
