The first year in anyone s life is very significant for various reasons. This is the time when the babies get acquainted with the outside world.

It generally begins between the 6 to 24 months of age.

As soon as the first teeth appear, your baby will suffer incontrollable pain. Some babies even suffer from fever. Discomfort and pain is the first sign that appears in the babies teething. The babies will always search for things to chew on and probably put anything they can hold in to their mouth to soothe their gums and teeth.
