The Top Ten Signs 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.

It is interesting to know that babies are born with a full set of teeth, they are hiding beneath the gums waiting for right time to pop out.

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

Gently open your baby's mouth to see if you can find any swollen areas on the gums. If your baby refuses to cooperate run your clean fingers to feel if there are any swollen areas.

Teething is almost always accompanied by excessive drooling. While babies start to produce lots of saliva around this age to increase digestive power, it can also indicate teething.

2.LOTS AND LOTS OF DROOL:

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 can also apply breast milk to the rashes or coconut oil. Encouraging diaper free time is the most natural way to heal mild rashes.
