Pregnancy Calendar A daily record based on your due date. The teeth most likely to cause discomfort are the first molars, which are likely to come through between 12 and 15 months, and the second molars which are likely to appear around the end of the second year. The sharp-pointed canines are usually cut in between and with relatively little trouble.
Molars are big and blunt and therefore slow to push through.
While teething will not make your child ill, the teething in the second year probably will sometimes hurt enough to make her miserable and irritable. If your toddler relies on sucking her thumb or a dummy, she may have a particularly difficult time settling to sleep because the sucking does not only hurt while she does it, but sets up a hurting that goes on after she has stopped. Sucking milk from the breast or a bottle may also make her gums hurt, of course, and that's liable to hurt her feelings. Let her suck for as long as she feels it is worthwhile, but offer drinks from a cup as well so that if sucking stops after a couple of painful minutes, she will still get enough to drink. However, this level of trouble will only last a few days with any one tooth.
