How do I know if my 10 week old baby is teething?
Mine started teething at about 3 months… Lots of drooling! (no teeth until 10 months though) If she’s not drooling, she may just be hungry. Are you nursing her every 3 hours? Is her weight gain adequate? They go through growth spurts where they’ll want to nurse round the clock. If she seems to be okay after nursing, then it’s hunger. If you feel like she’s always on the boob… give it some time. It’ll slow down again. If that’s not the case, check her temperature and make sure she’s not feeling warm. If you still feel at a loss, take her in for a checkup. It can’t hurt to have her pediatrician look her over just to be on the safe side. I took my son in for every fart & fiddle the first few months. Being a new mom, I didn’t know what to expect… and really didn’t trust the advice of older family members. They’re remedies were a bit arcaic for my liking. In the end, it only makes you stronger the knowledge you pick up by worrying… and talking to the doctors.
