Teething in Babies: Signs, Timeline, Safe Relief and What to Avoid
Quick answer: Teething in babies usually starts around 6 months, though anywhere from about 3 to 12 months can be normal. Expect drooling, chewing, sore gums and fussiness. Safe relief includes a firm rubber teether, a chilled (not frozen) washcloth, and gentle gum rubbing. Skip benzocaine and lidocaine gels, homeopathic teething tablets, and amber teething necklaces.
