    When does a Baby Start Teething?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The first tooth to appear is usually one of the bottom incisors \u2013 the ones right next to the gums. These commonly start to break through around the time that your child is 12 months old. Teething can begin as early as 7-9 months, but it\u2019s not uncommon for it to start as late as 12-16 months. One sign that your child\u2019s first teeth are on their way is that their gums will be swollen, red and puffy.<\/p>\n\n\n

    They will probably drool more than usual and may be fussy and cranky. Your baby may also experience some mild abdominal pain, which can be more noticeable when lying down. Teething can cause a loss of appetite and some slight diarrhoea, so keep an eye on your baby\u2019s diaper output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Signs Baby Teething Guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The best way to know for sure if your baby is teething is to look for the signs. They include red and swollen gums, increased drooling, irritability, and an affinity for chewing on anything and everything. If your baby has a fever, diarrhoea, or is uncharacteristically fussy, teething is most likely not the cause. Because your child\u2019s teeth are forming well before they break through the gums, you can\u2019t actually see them growing. But you can see the signs of impending teething pain: swollen gums, a tender mouth, and teeth marks on everything in sight<\/p>\n\n\n\n
