Baby Teething – Know the Hassle That A Baby Goes Through Seeing your baby’s first tooth is likely an exciting time for you. You might even consider it an important milestone in their growth and development. However, it’s a different experience for them, as baby teething can be uncomfortable. You might find your baby being fussier and crying more than usual because of the discomfort and pain they are experiencing. So, it’s always in your best interests as a parent or a guardian to know and understand what baby is going through and do your best to make teething more bearable for them. Know the signs and symptoms Teething typically starts when the baby is between four and seven months old, but it can also occur much later. It all depends on the speed of your baby’s development. The symptoms will also differ from one baby to another, but they usually include tender and swollen gums, excessive drooling, changes in sleeping or eating patterns, and crying and fussiness. Baby teething could make your baby want to chew or gnaw on hard things, and it could also cause a slightly raised temperature, but it should be less than 38 degrees Celsius. Although painful, teething shouldn’t make your baby sick. So, if you notice any other symptoms like a higher fever, congestion, cough, rashes, diarrhoea, or vomiting, seek medical advice. Soothing the pain and discomfort Your baby will want to gnaw on hard surfaces, like their rattle or their crib in an attempt to soothe the discomfort in the gums. If you want to help, keep in mind that what works for another baby may not work for yours. You might need to experiment and try different baby teething solutions until you find one or more that works for your baby.
It often helps to put something cold in the baby’s mouth, like a cold spoon, a cold pacifier, or a refrigerated solid baby teething ring or toy. Teething babies will want to chew something, so it’s okay to let them do that as much as they can. Just make sure that the things they’re chewing on are clean and safe. Don’t forget to clean teething toys and other items after use.
