🦷 Why Do Babies Need Teething Essentials? | A Parent’s Guide

Teething is one of the most important milestones in a baby’s growth. It usually begins around 6 months of age and can continue until the child is about 2–3 years old. During this time, babies start getting their first tiny teeth, also known as milk teeth.

While it’s an exciting stage for parents, it can also be uncomfortable for babies. That’s why knowing why teething happens and what your baby needs is so important.

🤔 Why Does Teething Happen?

  • Natural Growth – Teeth are essential for chewing food, speaking clearly, and supporting jaw development.

  • Timeline – The first teeth usually appear between 6–12 months, starting with the lower front teeth.

  • Signs of Teething – Babies may show symptoms like:

    • Drooling more than usual

    • Irritability or crankiness

    • Desire to chew or bite things

    • Swollen gums

    • Trouble sleeping

🍼 What Do Babies Need During Teething?

To make teething easier and more comfortable, parents can use:

  1. Teething Toys & Rings

    • Safe, chewable teethers made of BPA-free silicone or natural rubber.

    • Helps massage sore gums and reduce discomfort.

  2. Cool Teethers

    • Refrigerated (not frozen) teethers can soothe gum pain.

  3. Soft Washcloth or Muslin

    • Slightly chilled and given to baby for chewing.

  4. Baby-Safe Teething Biscuits

  5. Extra Love & Comfort

    • Cuddling, singing, and comforting your baby helps calm irritability.

đź’ˇ Tips for Parents

  • Always supervise babies when they use teethers or chew items.

  • Avoid unsafe objects (plastic toys with small parts, frozen items that may hurt gums).

  • Maintain oral hygiene by gently cleaning baby’s gums with a soft, damp cloth daily.

  • If teething pain seems extreme or if there’s fever or rash, consult a pediatrician.
