A 3 month old can surely be starting to teethe, I had 2 teeth by 4 months old. A good trick we learned with our first son was to rinse off a pacifier, then stick it in the freezer for a few minutes; this works much better because no one has to try to hold it while the baby chews on it. Also, DRUGS! Tylenol and gas drops were a great combo for us. Our pediatrician did advise us that Motrin/Advil is not to be given to babies under 6 months old.

Babies this age can get teeth-my second son could his first tooth at 4 months-think he was teething from the get go-he would always be chewing on his soft toys!
My son was not really bothered by pain-he just loved to bite anything he could get in his mouth..I think you have all the answers here already-wet cloth,chilled teething ring(not straight out of the freezer-baby can get frozen burns from that!)but I preferred Calpol and bongela if he was upset for quick relief!
Good luck-my son had all his teeth by 12 months so it does not go on forever!

There is a really good medicine for this. They are tiny little pills that disolve instantly in the baby's mouth. I believe that they are just called Teething Pills. Go to Wal-Mart and they will know what you are talking about in the pharmacy. They are over the counter and I swear by them. They helped me through a lot of sleepless nights with my daughter. They are harmless. Give them a try.

Get earplugs! Its hard my guy is 5 months and already has his teeth it is sooooooooooo hard. First you can give him tylenol or motrin, be careful ask your doctor how much you can give, go by weight not age, let him chew on wet washclothes that have been frozen in the freezer, and during the day you can give some baby orajel, don't give it at night I heard that the numbing effect can make their gag reflex not work. Good Luck

my little one LOVED wet baby cloths frozen. not for 15 mins. just kept in the freezer for the times i would need them. Wet about a quarter of it, and put about 5-6 of them in the freezer.
When she was fussy and cheeks were flushed and she was drooling, i knew it was time for one! Best part of it was, b/c she was drooling so much, it gave her a little extra fluid too!
I agree as well with the soother thing. We were told by a friend that the (sorry for the names here) Winnie the pooh and tigger soothers actually HELD WATER in the part that goes in the mouth. We would squeeze it till it was full under water, then we would freeze it. Keep it in there until needed!! Works like a charm!!
:o) Hope this helps!

Have you got something the maybe can bite on, i.e. a teething ring, makes sure its steralised though, the baby needs to bite, it helps. Also i found rubbing a little bit of Bonjella on the gums helps, give the baby some Calpol if they are in pain

Wal-mart carries some homeopathic teething tablets. They dissolve instantly in your baby's mouth and are completely safe. I used them on all four of my boys and the really seem to help. They also make some for colic. Check with your doctor- that seems awful early for teeth but every child is different.

Bikki pegs, for baby to chew on. When my daughter was teething she had a hide dog chew (clean of cause, not wot the dog had had)!
If u have no bonjela or calgel rub on the gums a little brandy.
My son used to have a jam jar lid, kept it cool in the fridge.

Yeah my baby started teething at 2 months, It was insane cuz he couldn't hold anything in his mouth yet, if your baby cant yet soothe himself try sitting him on your lap and holding your hand right below his chin like you're holding his head up for a burp but hold your hand a little higher and give him a chance to munch on your hand. Ask your doc if it's ok to give him Tynol or Oreajel for babies... Good luck, it gets easier
