Ok well ds has been drooling like crazy latley and has been crabby too, but he hasnt been gassy or anything, well I have been putting light pressure on his gums and he is biting my finger in relief! Could it be possible, I mean I know anything is possible, dd had her first tooth at 12 week, but he is only 6 weeks

Like you said, anythings possible! It very well might be that he's starting to feel pressure on his gums from the teeth, even though the teeth might not pop through for a while yet. My DD didn't get her teeth until later, but with my DS, he got his first one around 5 months, but even around 3 months, he was acting as if he was teething. So your DS is probably starting to teethe. Poor things anyway...makes me kind of glad that we can't remember being a baby!

It sure is possible. DS started teething about then, and his first tooth came in at about three and a half months. My friends little girl had teeth at two and a half months. It doesn't happen alot, but it could be teething. Try a cold washcloth, or a piece of ice, only dont' leave the ice there very long.

Certainly possible. Some babies are actually born with teeth. My nephew, on the other hand, didn't get his first until after a year.
