Any parent knows that getting a toddler to fall asleep, and stay asleep, can be a daunting task. There seems to be a never ending list of things that keep toddlers awake, and parents have to find ways around each one of them.
All babies by the time they are between the ages of 4 months to 1 year old, will start to show teething signs. Teething in babies is not a comfortable and novel experience for them. Their moods would change, and the once gentle little angel in your arms will suddenly cry at various intervals during day and night. They would choose to stay with you wherever you go, and would refuse to step down from the comfort of your arms.
Babies may manifest different signs of teething. While there are other babies who passed through the teething stage without causing any problem to their parents, your baby might belong with the many that show great discomfort with its occurrence.
Many new parents become worried when their 8-month-old baby hasn’t shown any signs of teething yet. Seeing their neighbor’s 5-month-old child showing a couple of teeth with each smile worries them the more. This would often prompt them to consult with their pediatrician, hoping to get reassurance that there’s nothing wrong with their child.
