A baby’s first front four teeth began to appear through the gums when they
are around 6 months, sometimes it takes up to 12-14 months. During the teething
stage of your baby’s life, your baby may become fussy and sleepless and
irritable, lose their appetite or drool more than usual and have sore or tender
gums. If your baby has a fever or diarrhea while teething or continues to be
cranky or uncomfortable call your dentist or physician. Some useful tips for
helping during this period of time include gently rubbing the gums with a clean
finger or a wet gauze pad. Teething rings for them to chew on can also help. There
is the idea that you should stop breastfeeding your baby when their teeth come
in. This is not true, you should stop breastfeeding when you think it is best
for you and your baby.
