Yes: Sometime a baby is born with some teeth erupting already. It makes it really tough on mom if she wants to breast feed.

? Teething ?: I'm not convinced kids have real teething related symptoms although it is an easy sell if a kid is fussy and i find no illness. By 2 months they do have some increased drooling and will suck or chew on anything (it is pleasurable).Teeth can also emerge at this point or earlier.

It is possible: For your two months old to be teething. The earliest that I have seen having teeth is at 3 months old. Increase saliva production does not mean teething. Easier for infants to let saliva drool than being choked with their own saliva!

Yes: Even though the teeth may not be ready to erupt through the gumline, they are possibly already on the move. It takes time for them to work their way up through the virgin gums. Unlike when your adult teeth erupt, there is no path cut already, so it takes a while to wiggle up through that gum tissue and finally poke their way out. Massage the gums, and use the chilled teether rings.

Yes: If you see teeth, she's teething. While most infants start between 4-8 months old, it is perfectly normal to start younger.

Yes: Although it is a bit early, teething can begin at any age. Ensure that your child is comfortable and getting adequate nutrition.
