My little girl is drooling so much that the back of her head gets wet with saliva. She put her whole fists in her mouth and knaws on them. She isn't eating as much in one feeding so I'm feeding her more frequently. And she was just crying and crying tonight for reasons I couldn't figure out. I tried to feel for ridges and I thought I felt some bumps butI don't know if it was perfectly smooth before so- I don't know what to compare it to.
Could she be teething? I thought it was too soon but, I think she may be.

She could be. It is a little early, but each baby is so different. My son had teeth at 3 months.

She probably is teething. It might be months and months before you actually see any teeth erupt through the gums, but it definately sounds like she's working on it. Try keeping a bib on her all the time, to absorb the drool and if she's crying, you can try giving her something to chew on like a teething ring or a wet washcloth that has been in the fridge for awhile. At 3 months she should be old enough for orajel also.

yes she probably is! my son was doing the same thing and my doc told me it was because his saliva glands were developing but a couple of days later his two little bottom teeth were visable and about to break the surface. Then the doc told me the reason why he was drooling so much was b/c he still had a no choking reflex and doesnt swallow or something

It sounds to me like she is teething. My son started teething at 3 months and had 8 teeth by the time he was 8 months.

Absolutely - my oldest began teething at 1 month and my second at 2 months (my oldest had a full set of teeth at 9 months)!

My daughter will be 3 months old on Halloween, and she is doing the same thing. I think that they start the teething process pretty early.

It's earlier than average, but well in the normal range for teething. The symptoms sound like teething, that's for sure.

She could be and be aware that she could teeth for months before actually cutting a tooth.
Good luck

Not too early at all. My son got his first tooth at 3 months! I just froze some bananas and baby carrots, and let him suck on them to help the pain. Good luck!
