It's quite common for babies to show signs of teething around three months old, although most infants typically get their first teeth between 4 to 7 months. If your three-month-old baby has started teething and is showing signs of discomfort, here are a few things to consider:

Teething Signs and Symptoms:

Drooling: Increased saliva production can lead to drooling.

Chewing: Babies may chew on their toys or fingers as they try to relieve discomfort.

Irritability: Teething can make babies fussy or irritable due to the discomfort.

Swollen Gums: You might notice swollen or tender gums where the teeth are coming in.

Slight Fever: A mild fever (below 100.4°F or 38°C) can occur, but high fever is not typically associated with teething.

Regarding the "Butt Coming" Statement:

If by "butt coming," you mean that your baby's bottom is protruding or if there are any unusual symptoms (like rashes or discomfort), this might not be directly related to teething. However, if you notice:

Rashes: It could be a diaper rash, especially if the baby is drooling a lot and has wetness around the diaper area.

Discomfort: If your baby seems uncomfortable in any way or you notice swelling, it’s best to consult a pediatrician.

What to Do for Teething Discomfort:

Teething Rings: Provide a safe, clean teething ring or a cold washcloth for your baby to chew on.

Gentle Massage: Gently massaging your baby's gums with a clean finger can help soothe the pain.

Cold Foods: If your baby is eating solids, cold foods like yogurt or chilled purees can provide relief.

When to Consult a Doctor:

If your baby has a high fever (over 100.4°F or 38°C), persistent irritability, or any unusual symptoms that concern you.

If you see signs of diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues that seem unusual for teething.

If the teething symptoms seem to cause severe distress or discomfort.

In summary, teething at three months can be normal for some babies, but keep an eye on any other symptoms. If you have concerns about your baby's health or development, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician for tailored advice and reassurance.
