The experience of teething is different for every baby and every family. A good way to get through teething together is to try to normalise the process as a part of day to day life until the last tooth appears, which is why it pays to be prepared.

Teething occurs when your baby’s teeth start to push through the gums. Babies are born with all 20 primary teeth hidden beneath their gums and have to go through the uncomfortable experience of teething as they transition to solids. Although it’s never nice for a parent to watch their baby in discomfort, teething is a necessary and natural stage in their development.When does teething start?
Your baby's first teeth usually start to break through around 6 months. Keep in mind that teeth can appear as late as 12 months, as early as 3 months and sometimes even at birth.
The symptoms of teething, however, can appear up to 3 months before the first teeth show.
