1. Irritability: When the fist tooth gets closer to breaking through, the baby's gums might get more and more sore, often leading to fussiness and crying.
2. Drooling: When the baby starts her teething process you might see a ton of drool... lots more that normal. Teething makes the babies lots, some more that others.
3. Coughing: Because of all the extra drool, your baby might cough of gag occasionally. As long as there are no other signs of a cold, and no fever, some coughing is normal.
4. Chin rash: If the baby drools lots and lots, the constant contact of drool on the face might cause a rash on the chin and mouth. Just make sure to wipe the baby's face often to help the baby from getting a chapped chin and mouth.
5. Biting & gnawing: A teething baby will gnaw and gum down on anything. The pressure from biting helps relieve and numbs the pain. There are tons of good teething aid that will really help the baby feel better.
But, he's only 3 months old...I wonder if he will get teeth soon! I can kinda see them under the gums, but they don't look that close. Who knows. I swear he grows really fast. Everyone thinks he looks like a four month old and he can hold his head up and push up on his arms and roll and all sorts of things for a young baby. Maybe he will skip kindergarten like mama :)

its not surprising....some babies develope faster than others. in some cases babies are born with a tooth or two
Pray for them to come out later than sooner b/c when they have teeth while breastfeeding.......ouch to momma!
actually its not too bad when ur breastfeeding and baby has teeth. i did it with keira until she was 14 months...remember? u jus have to unlatch them and tell them no after a couple times and then no more! it really works. i didnt believe others when i was told that. don't worry biting is minimal.
