Something is troubling me about grace.

The last couple of weeks i have noticed she has been druling alot and blowing heaps of bubbles. She sucks her dummy so hard that you would think that she hasnt just had a feed. She will also burst into tears for no apparent reason and its not gas pain.

if i didnt know any better i would say she was teething but she is only 2 months old!! Confused is it possible for babies to start teething so early?

She could still be hungry. Sometimes they are just not getting enough out of their formula or if you are breast feeding, it could very well be the same. Talk to your doctor, they will help by suggesting what may help. Oh, and she could be teething, my nephew had a tooth at 2 wks and another at 3. Nuts, but some babies teeth early!

Good luck. Talk to your doctor!

i gave her last bottle half hour earlier than normal and she didnt drink it all. i also noticed her sucking on her hand as well.

It takes over a month to get an appointment with my doctor so i might try community health or something. They'll be able to help wont they?

Yes they can help. They generally know as must as your doctor, not always, but they are pretty well trained. I am guessing that she is going to be an early teether. My little guy started teething early, tho the first tooth never finally came through till he was just over 5 months. He was chewing EVERYTHING!! It sounds like she is not hungry, just teething or even self soothing. Good luck, I am sure everything will be fine.

What it sounds like to me is she isn't getting enough to eat.

Most babies' drool glands begin to kick in around 2 months and they discover their tongue and the noises it can make!

Are you sure it isn't gas? Nya will sometime be calm as day and then BAM she screams...then farts...then pass back out! LOL!

It could very well be teeth, but I'm leaning more towards what I mentioned above!

every 4 hours and 180 ml (i think thats about 6 1/2 oz) I'm giving her a little more that what the formula suggests as well.
