Possibly teething?

My 2 month old is all of a sudden super fussy and super hard to calm down. He’s been drooling a lot lately too. He’s been on the same formula since he was 2 weeks old and has had no issues with that. He passes gas easily so the dr said that isn’t the issue. Checked his gums today and there are two little bumps on his bottom gum.. I’m wondering if that could be the issue?? This has been going on for almost a week and I feel so bad idk what to do.

You can try Tylenol?

mmmm it could also be excess keratin on their gums & not teeth. i would try the Tylenol if you feel like that could really help. otherwise, maybe a nice bath and extra snuggles?

Make sure to talk to your doctor before giving any medication to be safe because it’s not recommended for babies under 24lbs or under 2 even the infant one also I would try a teething toy to see if that helps first just to see because it could be teeth it could also be growing pains

My daughter was doing the same thing about a week ago and I was rubbing her legs and they were cramping up once I rubbed them out she went right to sleep for hours and I asked her doctor who said it was completely normal and sometimes just happens

@Destiny how did you know they were cramping??? could you feel the knots? :(

It wouldn’t necessarily look like bumps it would like little white dashes under the gum. I would guess it’s just a phase or growth spurt or maybe needs a little more milk. It’s not unheard of to get teeth this young but it’s petty unusual I think.

@Destiny the doctor gives Tylenol for shots or fever or any type of pain really starting from birth. If it actually is teething then Tylenol is a good idea but we wanna be sure baby is actually in need of pain relief. it’s 2.5ml they would get.
