Teething occurs when the gum line starts to expose the baby’s teeth. This is due to the baby’s teeth growing. Some symptoms to find out if your baby is teething include irritability, not being able to sleep, loss of appetite, swelling or inflammation of the gum, and teeth rubbing. The best way to comfort your baby during their teething phase includes massaging the baby’s gums, using a cold washcloth to soothe the inflammation of the baby’s gums, pacifiers, milk popsicles for refusal to eat, and over-the-counter medications. Also, always seek a dentist for assistance after the baby’s first tooth eruption.
