Teething, something to get your teeth into…….
Teething can be a challenge for babies while some babies can handle things quite well. If babies aren’t doing well, it is very likely that the parents aren’t doing too well either.
There are several signs that babies are teething. Note: It may be that your multiples will not all begin teething at the same time, and that is OK. Each child is different.
Crankiness/irritability/fussiness
Jamming hands or fists into the mouth and chewing
Pulling at ears/rubbing face
Swollen/puffy gums
Biting/chewing on things; everything goes into the mouth so make sure your home is baby-proofed
Excessive drooling
Excessive crying, trouble sleeping
Diarrhea and/or very red buttocks
There may or may not be a fever, even a slight one, associated with teething
If you are worried at any point that something is going on with the your baby, consult your physician as soon as possible.
