Even though teething a milestone for your little one- it is several months of irritation for mother and baby. This fun begins around 3 or 4 months of age and continues up to 3 years. Below is approximate times of when new teeth may start to come in.

6 to 7 months; Incisors; Two central bottom & Two central top teeth
7 to 9 months; Two more incisors; Top & bottom
10 to 14 months; First molars; Double teeth for chewing
15 to 18 months; Canines; The pointed teeth or “fangs”
2 to 3 years; Second molars; Second set of double teeth at the back
By their third birthday- most children should have all twenty of their primary teeth.

Teething is relatively painless for babies- but it is uncomfortable. Many parents think their baby has teething symptoms- when in fact it may be something else. Here are the most common symptoms:

* * Irritability * * Restlessness/difficulty sleeping
* * Increased saliva
* * Drooling
* * Desire to chew on everything within grasping distance

Other signs that can be seen in the baby’s mouth include swollen- tender gums where a new tooth is coming through.
If your baby is teething and it is really bothering them- there are things you can do to ease the irritation. One thing I used with my son was a teether. There are many different types of teethers. I used one that resembled a set of keys; it was his favorite. Another type that he enjoyed was a chilled- not frozen- teething ring.

When you see that first tooth- all the irritation will be well worth it.
