As with anything else with people (or their babies) teething occurs differently in different children. Babies begin teething at different times, and they feel pain and discomfort in different ways and by different amounts. The first challenge for a parent, of course, is to recognize when it actually happens. How do you know when you can put a baby’s fussiness down to teething and when you are to put it down to a actual problem? This little guide to how to spot teething babies should help.
Let's start with how you can spot teething babies. Your first clue of course would be to actually see the white tip of a tooth just below the gums somewhere. You can also tell if there seems to be a bump along the gums somewhere that could indicate to you that a tooth is in the process of erupting. A baby that keeps drooling, keeps trying to do something with her hands and face that would indicate to you that she's trying to comfort herself, a baby that keeps worrying her ears – all of these are pretty good signs that your baby's going to have some brand-new choppers.
