My
Little man is getting his first tooth at 11 weeks. He isn't feeding properly and fusses and cries ... What can I do to help him? He is breast fed. Is it too early to give him some puréed apple?

Try some wash cloths soaked in water and put in the freezer. He will get relief when he chews it, from the cold a little bit of frozen orange would be ok for him too as long as you hold it for him, as they can still chew chunks off with their gums.
Hi there, it is EXTREMELY rare for a bub to teethe that early. Besides that, the symptoms you mention sound more like a wonder week or growth spurt to me.
Unless there is a painful red raised bump in his mouth I would be investigating other possible causes.
My baby is teething and has been for awhile but no tooth through yet and his 4 months old...he has also been having solids since he was 10 weeks old I've just been buying the 4+ month puréed food there is different fruits and veges that you can get
Banana is good first food... But give it to him in the morning that way if he gets a tummy ache he wont be screaming all night... You can put teething gel on his gums, my little girl got her first two teeth at 3mths exactly and now she is 6mths and just got her third... And there were no raised red bumps in her mouth she just gets really grumpy up to a week before hand... Ps all babies teethe differently... And i started her on banana at around 12wks because she was still hungry after a feed...
My girl started teething early, my friends boy had 2 teeth by 8 weeks.
you can give Hylands natural teething gel at the age. Great stuff, get from chemist.
I started feeding my very hungry girl at 11/12 weeks because her feeding was 2 hourly since birth n was becoming nearly hourly. Formula fed too. So I understand what your going through. If u choose to start food I'd start with something less sweet like pumpkin... My girl smashed her first food which was pumpkin soup.
you may find amber necklaces to help... They helped my girl.
My daughter started teething at 10 weeks and had 2 teeth by 12 weeks , bonjela soothed her a lot also I held teething rings for her,frozen grapes, frozen cloths
Good luck it's not that rare I know a few bubbas who got them early
