For new and expecting parents, here’s a few tips on how to manage your baby’s teething while they are an infant.

First, you will know your baby is teething when his or her first set of teeth, called primary teeth, break through the gums. This usually starts around 6 months can be between 3 and 12 months. Babies often bite on their fingers or toys to help relieve the pressure in their gums. They may also refuse to eat and drink because their mouths hurt. Many babies drool during teething. If the pain seems unbearable, then give your baby a mild pain reliever that is labeled for his or her specific age such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen. You can also consider buying a cold teething ring. Just make sure you provide safe objects for your baby to chew on.
