Teething?!

Question

My 5 and a half month old has been chewing on everthinggg lately. The top pic is from 6 weeks ago, the bottom pic is now. Does this look like her teeth settling in (and hopefully getting ready to come out)?

Answer

It is usually the bottoms two teeth that come through first but obviously there will be babies whose top teeth may some first but it’s more common for bottom two first. 
Check by feeling the gum with your finger rather than the way you have pictured.  All mine start teething early but get their teeth late.  My baby no3 didn’t get her first tooth till nearly 2yr old. Xx

Answer

Are you lifting the lip higher in the second picutre than the first picture? When you run out finger along the gum do you feel any bumps? That's how I would personally check for teeth. Babies can teeth for many months before a tooth pops through. And I ask about the lip because it looks like baby has a lip tie and depending on severity/tightness flipping the lip up can cause the guns to turn white inidictating it's tight and not a sign of teeth
