A. hi , teething, exploring, hunger, self soothing , sleep , tiredness are common reasons. babies at this age put everything in mouth. get a teether of good company, BPA free for baby. also get some plastic toys with smooth edges , check for good quality . also you can give some clean washed ccolorful cloths to baby to play with. they love different textures.

Q. Hi Doc My girl is 3-months new. She has been quite cranky for quite a few days; has been drooling, and has been taking her hand to her mouth too often. She even seems to moving her mouth as if chewing. Should we consider these as early symptoms of teething? Do infants start teething as early as 3 months? Is this normal? If yes, any tips on to soothe her pain? Please suggest. Thanks in advance. #asktheexpert
