how can you tell if baby is teething or not?

my little one is 14 weeks and somtimes tries to put his fingers in his mouth. he is drooling a lot and bites my little finger when i try soothing him. He has came out in little red spots all over his body and his dirty nappies have changed in colour and consistency. sometimes he cries for no reason and then settles after giving him 2.5ml of calpol. could he be teething? xxx

in a bit way.YES get some bonjelo gell for his gums to numb the pain and keep up with the calpol. also give him a teething toy, they help in a big way.teething is not a great time for them and they go through all sorts of things from temperatures, runny tummys, drooling loads , going off food, and the list goes on. poor thing, also if you put the teething ring into the fridge to get cold it helps with the pain and the swolen gums. not much else you can do besides that, good luck
Thanks honey, i had a feeling he was, i couldnt understand why he had came out in a rash and why his nappies have been a bit different. Thanks for the advice xxx
