My baby is 4 months old, he is becoming irritable sometimes and is very uncomfortable and also tries to put complete hand in his mouth.
He is having drooling from his mouth and doing motions 7-8 times a day, since 2 days.
Are these symptoms of teething? What can be done?

Accepted Answer

all the symptoms are signaling teething. however it's quite early to be teething but not anything that you need to worry. in some babies early teething does happen.

Massaging your baby’s gums when he is teething is a great way of alleviating the pain and irritation.Simply wash your hands thoroughly and wipe them dry. Then use your clean fingers to gently massage the bottom of his gums. Do not apply any pressure nor massage the top of the gums where the tooth would erupt. Only run your fingers gently at the base of the gums and continue doing so all along his gums.

Focus on the gums at the front since that is where the first teeth would emerge. You can give this massage when you feel your baby is irritated due to teething.
