👶🦷 Baby Fortnight – Is your baby teething?

Those first little teeth can sometimes make their arrival known!

Most babies start teething at around 6 months, although every baby is different. You might notice:

💧 More dribbling than usual
👄 Chewing or gnawing on things
🔴 A sore or red gum where a tooth is coming through
😣 Your baby being a little more unsettled

A chilled teething ring can help soothe sore gums – just remember not to put it in the freezer.

And once that first tooth makes an appearance, it’s time to start brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. 🪥✨

Every new tooth is another little smile to look after! 💛
