10 Top Signs that Your Baby is Teething

Teething is one such milestone which brings discomfort to both babies and parents alike.

While some babies cut their tooth with no signs discomfort, most babies experience some pain when they are cutting their tooth.

Some babies cut more than two teeth at the same time. Here is a rough schedule of when you might expect your baby to teeth.

Upward pressure from the tooth that is trying to force its way up can make the gums look reddish and slightly bruised.

1.SWOLLEN GUMS

Teething is almost always accompanied by excessive drooling. While babies start to produce lots of saliva around this age to increase digestive power.

2.LOTS AND LOTS OF DROOL

Keep a clean washcloth and gently pat dry the area. Make sure not to rub the washcloth as this might irritate. Applying breast milk or nipple cream can also help reduce irritation.

Some babies get rashes all over their mouth, cheeks, and even diaper area. Keeping the mouth and cheeks dry from drool can help prevent rashes.

3.RASHES AROUND THE MOUTH AND BUM AREA

You might hear both sides of the argument about diarrhea. Some say teething is no way linked to diarrhea. Some say otherwise.

4. DIARRHEA

My mom says that babies pass loose stools while teething and there are a lot of moms on the internet that attest to this.

Teething is hard on babies. Seriously, they are in so much pain, and they cant tell you what's bothering them, so they end up being extremely sensitive and cranky.
