A member asked:

Can a 7 week old be teething this soon? when i clean her mouth she "bites" me and she's spitting saliva.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Drooling + teething: Drooling starts several weeks before actual teething. Her clamping down on your hand is normal. Teething can start as early as 3 months of age.

Dr Malerman and another doctor agreed
