Teething

Teething can bring dribbling, chewing and unsettled moments, although every difficult day is not necessarily caused by teeth.

Comfort without unnecessary fuss

  • Offer a clean, age-appropriate teether.
  • Use a cool, clean cloth for chewing.
  • Wipe dribble gently and protect irritated skin.
  • Ask your pediatrician before using gels, powders or medicines.

For everyday Indian family life

Avoid necklaces and remedies with unclear ingredients, even when warmly recommended by family. A simple teether that can be cleaned properly is often the most practical choice.

Frequently asked questions

Does teething cause high fever?

High fever should not simply be blamed on teething. Speak with your pediatrician.

Can I freeze a teether?

Follow the product instructions; very hard or frozen items may be uncomfortable.

When does teething begin?

Timing varies widely. Some babies chew and dribble well before a tooth appears.

When to speak to your pediatrician

Seek advice for fever, marked pain, poor feeding, dehydration, unusual sleepiness or symptoms that seem more than ordinary teething discomfort.
