teething at three months?

meganmarieCA · May 2011

Did anyone's baby get teeth at three or four months? Owen didn't get any teeth until 8 months, so to me that would be really unusual, but Ellie is really drooly and has wicked diaper rash...so I'm just wondering....

Granted her first tooth didn't make an appearance till 9 months Caroine was teething around 2-3 months. Super drooly! Also, sensitive when you touched. You could see a little white, but then it just stopped.

The diaper rash was another big giveaway when her teeth came. So, glad I came and talked to you ladies since I was worried :P

She still only has her front bottom teeth, and her side top teeth are starting to come through.

Same here. Eli had all of the signs early- super drooly, diaper rash, etc, but his first tooth didn't poke through until 10 months. He still drools all the time and gets a rash when a new tooth is coming in- only 5 more to go!

My best friend's baby popped a tooth at 3.5 months! Early, I guess, but it happens for sure!

Yeah - well - not MY baby cuz there is none - but I grew up hearing the story of how my baby sis popped a tooth, bit my mom, and was kicked off the boob at 3 mos.

Lily got her first two teeth at 3 months, and two more about 3 weeks later. It is early for teething, and makes for some interesting nursing, lol. Brooke and Kailey didn't start getting teeth until they were about 6-7months, so it's hard to judge one kiddo from another there.

I've read about that, that would freak me out if baby smiled and shined his/her pearly whites :P

Marcus got really drooly at that age and everyone said "he's teething, he's teething"...but then he didn't get a tooth for 5 months. It seems like that's pretty common - isn't there something going on with their salivary glands around that time?

My SIL was the same way! Crazy!

Yeah, I felt the same way with Owen -- it seemed like he was "teething" forever...I think I'm grasping for reasons for the diaper rash because it's not going away, even with Desitin/disposables. :P

Grace cut her first tooth right before she turned 4 month!

Developmentally they start drooling more between 2 and 3 months - something about producing more saliva than they can swallow. But certainly some babies get teeth early! R was drooling and chewing like mad around 2 months, but didn't get her first tooth until 11 months. She just cut her 2nd yesterday. Could it be a yeast rash? I hear those are stubborn and tend to get worse with standard bum creams.

I was also thinking yeast. They look more like defined blisters..we used lotrimum to clear it up. Although it sounds like she might be getting some pearly whites!

The ped checked it out for yeast/bacteria/fungal/etc. but apparently it's just run of the mill diaper rash -- it's just really stubborn. If it's sunny again tomorrow, I'm going to air her butt out in the sun.

I really hope it's not a tooth yet!
