Babies usually grow their first few teeth between 4- 7 months.
Their teeth will continue to grow out until about 3 years of age or when they have completed the set of 20 milk teeth.
Babies usually experience discomfort during teething especially during the growth of the first few teeth at the bottom gums.
During this period, babies may loose their appetite, drool excessively and chew on their hands, toys and practically everything they get their hands on.
Parents should not fret when their babies start chewing on their toys because this helps the teeth break out to the surface.
During this period, you must make sure that the baby's hands are clean and the toys surrounding him/ her have passed the highest safety standards.
To help ease your baby's discomfort, make sure to get him/her a teething toy that is easy to chew on but won't break even when your baby chews or pulls excessively on it.
Some babies find comfort in using pacifiers.
If you decide to let your daughter use a pacifier, make sure it comes in a single-piece to prevent choking.
Pacifiers with separate parts may cause choking because of detachable parts.
Still there are many babies that need varying textures to satisfy the need to chew.
You can get them specially designed teething toys that come in different sizes.
You can also buy a good teething toy that has different shapes, texture and sizes incorporated into the toy so that the baby will find which part of the toy it is most fun and comfortable to chomp on.
There are plenty of babies who can be fussy when they are teething and many of them easily gets bored with simple rubber teethes.
