A baby's first tooth is an exciting milestone for his or her parents, but a potentially painful right of passage for the little teether. The symptoms and severity of pain associated with teething can vary as greatly as the age at which it occurs. Some babies become very fussy and irritable while others have no problems at all.

Sometimes the baby can't sleep within the night or during the day. It is very tiring to carry him or her all day.

according to the article i read the process of teething often follows hereditary patterns, so if the mother and father teethed early or late, your baby may follow the same pattern. On average the first tooth comes in during the seventh month, although it can arrive as early as three months, as late as a year, or in rare cases even earlier or later.

My sister's eldest son was the craziest because when he had his first tooth, it only lasted for like a month then it was taken by the tooth fairy! lol
Benjamin didn't cry but he was back with bare gums. He was still the cutest among 3 of my nephew's!

Some of my friends told me if the baby will have its first teeth itll make my baby feel uncomfortable. why is it?

Poor darling! My baby got his first tooth about 4 months (from memory!!).

We were using Bonjela, and I was never told that he was too young to have it! :?

Another friend did end up suggesting SM33, and I found it heaps better than the Bonjela anyways. Havent tried anything else since I found it worked so well!

Good luck, I hope she isn't too upset while cutting her teeth!

i've once told when a baby begins teething, there is no set pattern on when it will begin, how long it will take and how painful it will be. For one baby cutting a tooth might happen overnight without pain, while another child might have to go through a long, drawn out and painful experience. You may sometimes visibly see a rise or lump in the gum for several weeks, while sometimes there may be no visible clue at all until the tooth actually appears.

The symptoms of teething vary from child to child. Because of these different experiences, parents and physicians often disagree as to the symptoms of teething and how painful it is. The list below shows symptoms that a teething baby may experience. While most parents usually agree that some or all of the symptoms below happened around the time of teething, it is still recommended that if your baby experiences any of these symptoms you check with your pediatrician to rule out other possible causes for the symptoms.
