This isn’t because your child isn’t hungry. Chewing or sucking soothes swollen, sore gums, so they’ll most likely be putting everything they can reach into their mouth. You may also notice your little one chewing on their fingers… Or toes. Those teeth are pushing their way through your baby’s gums, so they’re bound to be uncomfortable and inflamed. Teething also continues sporadically for up to two to three years. It’s also important to know that teething can begin as early as two to three months-although six months is the average.

Yes, your baby may have a mild fever or a decreased appetite-but is it standalone, or does it come with the rest of the teething symptoms?
