Baby teething is a very difficult time for parent and baby alike and finding a remedy to appease your child’s pain quickly becomes a priority. As with many things the successful solution is personal to you and your baby and may include one or a combination of remedies.

Being food based, Bickiepegs complement baby led weaning and are in our opinion better than plastic or other non-food based teethers because our product is designed to access all teeth at the front and back of the jaw. You may also like to try the Bickiepegs Finger Toothbrush and Gum Massager for soothing painful gums and introducing brushing for first teeth.

BIRTH – Teeth start forming in the baby’s gum from 2 months of pregnancy so at birth all “milk” teeth are formed in the gums. In rare instances some babies are born with one or more teeth.

3 MONTHS – Teething may start as early as 3 months of age. Symptoms vary and include flushed cheeks, excessive saliva (dribbling), chewing on a finger (or anything else they can get their hands on!) and irritability.

6 -7 MONTHS – First teeth appear, usually the top and bottom incisors

12 MONTHS – First molars emerge. On average infants may have about 6 teeth.

18 MONTHS – Canines (cuspid) teeth start to appear.

2 – 3 YEARS – Second molars appear. Children tend to have the first set of 20 milk teeth.

Although the age at which teeth appear can vary greatly, the rules of looking after them are still important. See Caring for first teeth.
