When your child’s first teeth begin making their debut, it’s an exciting milestone. It can also bring confusion. (Why is my infant suddenly chewing everything?) And it can bring misery. (Why is he so cranky?) And it can be upsetting for parents: No one likes to see his or child in pain, even if it is for a good cause. (Chewing!) Babble offers tips to help you spot the signs of teething; remedies, toys and recipes for relieving teething pain; facts about teeth; and a comprehensive Teething Guide to help you conquer all things dental.

Since I only nursed my older daughter for two weeks, I never found out what would have happened if I had breastfed longer and she grew teeth.
