Does this look like teeth?

My first bubba, I've no idea 😭. She's drooling a lot and wanting to bite her hands all the time. She's woken up screaming 3 days in a row now, with no temperature or other symptoms. I've had to give her a dose of Calpol as nothing would settle her. Took her to the pharmacist yesterday as she started screaming again only 2 hours after her Calpol dose. She told me to try Nurofen instead but didn't even look in her mouth.

What age is she?

All of my babies started to teeth around 6-8months, unfortunately there’s nothing you can do about it. They also have a lot of growth spurts during the first 1-6 months of their life so the screaming fits are probably because of that and the hand chewing is her way of dealing with the pain. If she starts to try and chew on any and everything especially firm things (your nip/bottle, your hands, a wooden bed frame or spoon toy etc, any furnish toys) then she could be starting to teeth.

@Rhonda 3 months

I can feel 2 sharp bits on her top jaw

They teethe for quite a while before teeth actually come. Their gums go hard and swollen. But this looks like it’s around her canine and that would be an odd first tooth to get 🤔 just keep an eye. You usually spot the silvery line in their gum when one first erupts. Both mine had their first ones through at 4 months so it’s not too early..:
