signs of teething

Signs of teething: photosDisturbed sleep

• Teething can be a painful process, and this can keep your baby awake at night. So if your baby is suddenly finding it hard to settle down and rest, teething could be the cause.

Drooling

• All babies drool a little, but a teething baby will often end up with a very wet chin! Extra drool can make your baby's chin sore, so dab it dry with a soft tissue as often as you can.

Flushed cheeks

• Rosy-red cheeks are a common sign of teething. Your baby's cheeks go red because the tooth that is coming through the gum can cause irritation. You may notice that your baby's cheeks also feel warm.

Chewing fingers

• Chewing helps to relieve the pain and pressure of teething, so you may notice your baby trying to soothe herself by chewing on her fingers

Chewing objects

• Babies love to put put things in their mouths, but if your baby has started to nibble on anything she can get her hands on, she may be teething.

Swollen gums

• Swollen, red gums are a sure sign of teething. Gently rubbing your clean finger over her gums may help to soothe them.

Being fractious

• The pain from teething can make your baby irritable, and she may cry more. If your baby is upset by teething, cuddles and kisses are the best cure.
