How to help a teething baby

Tricia Wanjala

Teething is a very normal process, but it can cause tremendous discomfort and consternation for baby. Many parents get very flustered because teething can sometimes be very upsetting for the baby, resulting in constant crying, irritability, and sometimes even diarrhea and fever. However some babies experience no discomfort at all, which is very fortunate for them and their parents. Once teething begins, it continues almost uninterrupted for two years, and children continue to have milk teeth until they are ten or eleven years old.
