Ok, Anya has been a little off the past couple of days and we think she may be teething already (she is 8 weeks old today.) What we thought may be an increased appetite seems to be more the need to chew. Whether it be a finger, her pacifier, or even Katy's shoulder (yup you read that right) !!
We've looked and she does appear to have some light spots on her gums where teeth might be but honestly its hard to tell at this point. She has been lightly fussy today. We kinda desribe it as her hazy period. She hasn't been upset but every now and then will cry a few times and stop. During her nap this afternoon she was in and out a lot doing that but would drift right back out.
Anyone have some suggestions on how to sooth teething for a two month old? She's still too young for baby tylenol, baby orajel, and most any teething toy.

Cold things are usually soothing. Even though she can't really use a teething toy, try to get a "necklace" type teething ring and put it in the freezer. The coldness for her to kind of gnaw on may help. Also try getting one of those things that can hold food.. hmm... has a little net like deal on it so babies can smoosh food in their mouth. Put a wee ice cube in that and see if it helps ^_^
