Teething is a natural but challenging phase in a baby’s development, marked by the eruption of their first teeth through the gums. This process can cause discomfort and distress for both the baby and their parents. As your baby begins teething, finding effective ways to soothe their discomfort becomes a priority. Teething gels are among the common remedies used to alleviate teething pain, but understanding how they work and how to use them safely is crucial for ensuring your baby's well-being. Understanding Teething Teething generally begins around six months, but often can start earlier or later. As the teeth push through the gums, babies may experience symptoms such as Swollen and Tender Gums - The area where the teeth are emerging can become red and swollen. Increased Drooling - Teething often stimulates saliva production, leading to more drool. Irritability and Fussiness - The discomfort from teething can make babies more irritable and difficult to soothe. Difficulty Sleeping - Pain from teething can disrupt a baby’s sleep patterns, leading to restless nights. Understanding these symptoms helps in recognising when teething gels or other remedies might be needed to provide relief.
