Alex is only 10 weeks old, is it possible for him to be teething already??
I know it doesn't necessarily mean he will cut any any time soon, but it just seems so young i guess.
I'm going crazy because i have no idea what's wrong with him and this is the last thing i could thing of.
Recently (the last few days) he has started drooling heaps - like masses of slobber everywhere. He won't keep his hands out of his mouth, and he doesn't seem content at all unless he is sucking on something - he rarely ever made use of the dummy before now he wants it even when he's 'happy'. He'd never been interested in his thumb before either and now he shoves it in whenever possible.
He is constantly wanting to be cuddled, his sleep has been really interrupted and he often has very red cheeks. I don't know about temp as i actually haven't checked it ( can't find our thermometer) but from touch i would say at time he is a little warm.
You can see the top and bottom two teeth in his gums, the bottom two seem very high, and they have become more visible lately.
I've just given him panadol and about ten minutes after he was splitting with smiles and now he's gone back to sleep no troubles.
Is it likely to be him teething? Or is he just being a grumpy bum?
