Hi,

We are going through the exact phase at the moment. DS has discovered his hands and wants to continually suck/bite them - he is also producing lots of saliva, but i know that at around 3 months of age, bubs salivary glands become more active - so this is quite normal.

So, really, you never know. My 1st son did the same thing at the same time and his 1st tooth cut through at exactly 5months, my daughter also went through the same phase and cut her 1st tooth at 4.5months.

Hopefully bub settles for you - and if it is teething that he is going through - you will find out for sure soon
