When does teething start?
Teething usually starts between 4 and 7 months of age. The first teeth to come in are the central incisors (upper or lower front teeth), followed by the first molars and then the canines.

Try a sippy cup filled with cold water. Drinking cold water, the cool temperature and sucking motion help ease gum discomfort
Teething toys and sippy cups should always be cleaned thoroughly after each use. It's okay if your baby wants to chew all day long. This is a natural behavior to relieve teething pain.
Teething is a phase every baby goes through.
In each tough moment, whisper, "It's okay, you're growing up so well" :)
