Can The Child Have Teething At 3 Months As The Tongue Darting In And Out?

Can a baby start teething at 3 months? Clamps down on fingers tongue darting in & out. Fussy doesn't want the bottle

Is there something else I should be concern about? Thrush? Tongue slightly coded but no white spots on mucus menbrain or gums. Any sujestions?

Thank you

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Teething typically begins between fiur and seven months of age. However, any child could start earlier or later. So it is entirely possible that your child is teething. Thrush would manifest as a white coaying on the tongue or gums or inside cheeks. As opposed to the coating if milk or formula, the coating of thrush cannot be removed with, say, a washcloth or to tongue depressor. If you suspect thrush, you should consult with your doctor
