I will start off by saying sorry if this opinion is in the wrong catogary.My daughter is teething at the moment so I thought I would give you some information about teething.
Most babys cut their first tooth at about six months although some babys get teeth before my daughter had two at five months and some babys are born with teeth.Some babys breeze through teething where as others suffer a lot of pain.Your child will not have all of his/hers teeth till they are around two and a half years old.
You can help your baby but make sure your child is teething and not poorly.One of the first signs your baby is cutting a tooth will be a whiteish bump under the gum other signs are chewing her/his hands,red cheeks,dribbaling,crying,not eating and waking at night.Your baby may begin to pull her/his ears while teething although this could be a sign of an ear infection so its best to see a docter.
Your baby will chew on anything she/he is holding while teething give her/him rusks,teething biscuits,sticks of raw carrot/apples.Never put this food in to a freezer as your child could get frostbite.
Some babys take comfort from having there gums rubbed.Finally at this distressing time give your baby lots of cuddles and comforting.
WAYS TO HELP RELIEVE THE PAIN. 1)Buy two teething rings so that one can be used whilst other is sterilised. 2)Buy an extra bottle of infant paracetamol,so that you can keep one in your changing bag. 3)Offer chilled food at mealtimes instead of warm .This may offer some temporary relief.
PRODUCTS TO RELIEVE PAIN. 1)Bonjela. 2)Ashton and parson powders. 3)Calpol. 4)Bickie pegs.

Thanks for this. My baby is teething at the moment, so I was interested to read how you handled it. V
