My baby is just three months. It seems like she’s teething already. She keeps biting her fingers…. She just seems to be in a lot of pain
What age do they start?

One of my kids got a tooth at 3 1/2 months. It makes sense to be teething already.

Although sometimes takes months till the tooth pokes through. That can be frustrating for all

My pediatrician claims that babies teeth from when they're born.
3 months is definitely normal for a baby to be seriously teething.

Most of my kids started teething at about 6 months. But my baby now began seriously teething at 7-8 weeks; swollen gums, 2 visible white lines just below gums. But then he was teething forever and his first tooth only broke through at 6.5 months!

Oh wow. Didn’t realize it comes so early. Anything I can do to help soothe the pain?

I once heard from the 8 weeks they can start teething.

One of my kids got their first 2 teeth at 4 months old.

Though a baby can start teething early but have their tooth break in months later.

My kids start teething at 3 months and get their first teeth at around 6 months.

The drooling started for all of my kids around two months…. And then it was still several months of teething before the first teeth cut….

My baby got 4 teeth at 4 months. No one believed me that he was really teething even though I could see the teeth coming. So it's definitely possible.

Anything I can put on the gums to make it less painful?

This was amazing for my 3mo when teething. He didn't have enough hand control yet to hold a teether, but could put his fist in his mouth.

One of my kids got a tooth 1 week before he turned 4 months old. The 2nd tooth 1 1/2 weeks later.

Thanks for this, I got my 4 month old a few teethers that he's not interested in maybe he'll like this more.
