Teething is the procedure of a baby’s teeth growing by pushing through the gums. From four months to seven months is the age that most infants experience the symptoms of teething. A few babies have been know to cut their first teeth early, when they are just three months old. Although this is a very rare occurrence, it can happen. Most children will stroke their faces, act irritable and have uneven sleeping habits. Though, those that do not sense the pain may only have a small red rash on their faces and have a bent to bite down on toys and finger more than usual!
The duration is different depending on the body chemistry and development of a child since some children can begin teething as soon as fourth months old but other children don’t start teeth until they are nine months old. But this is a very difficult time for parents since many children have a bad temper during the first part of teething.
Babies are likely to be irritable and sad when they start teething. Baby will almost surely bite and chew a lot. The baby is keen and desperate to bite and chew anything. Infants that are teething may not sleep very well. Some other usual baby teething symptoms are drooling, ear pulling, crying, runny nose and perhaps a rash on the face/chin area and neck. Other symptoms which are not as common are fever and diarrhea.

Once you start, keep in mind that nursing shouldn’t be painful. When your baby latches on, pay attention to how your breasts feel. If the latching on hurts, break the suction then try again. You should nurse quite frequently, as the more you nurse the more quickly your mature milk will come in and the more milk you’ll produce
