Treating teething pain and discomfort

Quite a few methods will soothe the painful gums of your teething baby, before you turn to pain relief products and teething gels, those are:

  • If your baby is old enough, try giving them chilled water in a bottle or cup. Older babies eating solid foods can also be offered cold fruit purees or plain yoghurt, which all assist in numbing the pain somewhat.
  • If your baby has a facial rash, use a soft cotton cloth to gently wipe the drool away from their face as often as possible. Take care not to rub the inflamed area and use a barrier cream to provide protection from further irritation.

Symptoms & Signs of teething

Symptoms of teething

For most toddlers, symptoms of teething are quite minor and infrequent. The pain of teething tends to last for a few days, but if multiple teeth come through simultaneously, the pain can continue for longer.

The range of symptoms and their severity varies between babies; your baby may cut teeth with no complaints at all or teething may bring lots of pain and tears for your bub.

If symptoms of teething last for longer than a few days with no sign of a tooth, it’s possible that your baby’s pain and distress may be due to other causes.

 

Signs of teething

If your baby is teething, you may notice:

  • Swollen red gums
  • Cheeks that are flushed red
  • A rash on the face

Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we are asked when it comes to teething:
- Bellamy's Organic

Teething FAQs

  • My baby has swollen gums. When will the teeth start to show?

    If your baby’s gums are swollen and you can feel a tooth beginning to erupt underneath, it is most likely normal swelling and it should go down after the tooth cuts through (this usually takes 1-7 days per tooth). If you notice abnormal swelling (red or blue coloured gums or no appearance of a tooth erupting underneath) or sores on your baby’s gums, contact your paediatrician.

  • How long does it take for the first tooth to come out?

    There is no exact answer as to how long it takes for the first tooth to cut through, however estimates are anytime between 1-7 days per tooth. Sometimes babies can grow multiple teeth at once, so it may seem like teething is taking a lot longer.

  • My baby is drooling and chewing on things, does this mean he / she is teething?

    Drooling and chewing on hands and objects is normal as your baby grows, but this doesn’t necessarily mean that your baby is teething. Often, parents confuse the increase of salivary production (at around 3 months old) with teething, however, the only sure indication of teething is when you can actually see or feel the emerging teeth.

  • Does teething cause a fever?

    In short, no. Research has found that there is no significant association between teething and an increase in a baby’s temperature. Rather, the reason that fever is so commonly attributed to teething is due to the fact that the start of the teething period (generally 6 months old) coincides with the time that babies start to get more infections, as there is a decrease in antibodies that they receive from their mother.

  • Is teething causing my baby to wake up during the night?

    Teething may cause your baby discomfort and irritation which could lead to periods of wakefulness during the night. However, if your baby doesn’t appear affected by teething discomfort during the day, the wakefulness at night may not be the result of teething.

    Other reasons for disturbed sleep could be the new skills that your baby is learning such as rolling over and sitting up, which he or she may be practicing at night without being able to settle down again.

  • Can teething cause a loss in appetite?

    Yes, however, the change in your baby’s appetite occurs due to the discomfort of teething. Your child’s gums will become sore and inflamed as a tooth pushes through, which can make your baby’s mouth start to hurt. This discomfort is ultimately what may turn your baby off eating.

  • Does teething pain last for extended periods of time before a tooth appears?

    Teething only causes irritation around the time your baby’s tooth is about to break through the gum. Teething pain generally lasts for only a couple of days, so longer periods of discomfort (commonly associated with teething) may be caused by something else.

    It should also be remembered that your baby has 20 milk teeth that will emerge over 2 years, and these will all cut through at different times, which may make it seem like the pain and irritability can last for months.

  • Can teething cause diarrhea?

    Current medical opinion is that there is no evidence of a link between teething and problems with the alimentary tract. The most likely reason is that teething children are prone to pick up and chew on bacteria ridden objects that ultimately cause diarrhea. Remember, the teething phase coincides with the time period that babies are most susceptible to infections.
