Teething time in babies usually starts from the 6th month. Teething may occur after this period. Sometimes babies are born with teeth in their mouths, and sometimes they may not be teething until they are one year old. Teething can be very troublesome in some babies, while in others, the troubles can be seen less.
While some babies experience only mild symptoms, other babies can suffer a lot. It hurts us too to see our babies suffer. There are many ways to reduce the suffering of our babies.
How Long Does Teething Take?
Babies usually start erupting their milk teeth at 6 months of age (except in exceptional circumstances). By the age of 2-2.5, they usually have all their milk teeth. When they reach the age of 6, they lose their first teeth and replace them with permanent teeth. However, teething can also develop in different periods. Teething period can vary from baby to baby. Babies who start teething at the age of 3-4 months or who have not yet removed their milk teeth at the age of one can also be seen. This is a trait inherited from parents through genetics. In other words, if your teeth came out late, your baby's teeth will most likely come out later.
