Most parents that have been through the experience of a teething baby will usually agree that some or all of the symptoms below happened at or near the time of teething. As the sharp little tooth rises closer to the surface your baby s gums may become increasingly more sore and painful, leading to your baby being very fussy. The pain and discomfort is most often worse during the first teeth coming in and later when the molars come in because of their bigger size. This is most often the case since babies become accustomed to the sensations of teething and learn to live with them. But you may find your baby may be fussy during the whole time that every tooth comes in.
Every child reacts differently.
Teething stimulates drooling, which is often worse with some babies than others. This is usually nothing to worry about as long as your baby seems fine and shows no signs of a cold or flu and does not run a high fever. To help prevent this, gently wipe your baby s mouth and chin periodically throughout the day. The counter pressure from biting on something helps relieve the pressure from under the gums. This is why you may see your baby rubbing their cheeks or pulling at their ears.
