Symptoms of teething can start as early as 3 months of age. But in these cases, your baby won't get any actual teeth for a month or more after that. Neonatal teeth appear so quickly after birth that your baby may not exhibit the normal telltale signs of teething like drooling, fussiness, and biting their fingers.

You can also set your toddler up with other activities to do while you're nursing. Drawing, coloring, puzzles, blocks or big legos, cars/trains, etc. Some moms keep a box of toys that is out only when baby is nursing.

Teething is the process by which a baby's teeth erupt, or break through, the gums. Teething generally occurs between 6 to 24 months of age. Symptoms of teething include irritability, tender and swollen gums, and the infant wanting to place objects or fingers into the mouth in an attempt to reduce discomfort.

At 18 months start using a pea sized amount of low-fluoride toothpaste to brush your child's teeth. Encourage your child to spit out toothpaste after brushing, but not rinse. Clean all surfaces of the teeth and gums twice a day (after breakfast and before bed).

Toddler teeth need cleaning twice a day – in the morning and before bed. Use a small, soft toothbrush designed for children under two years. Just use water on the toothbrush until your child is 18 months old, unless a dentist tells you otherwise.

At two months, babies can see objects -- and people -- from up to 18 inches away. That means you still need to get pretty close, but your baby will be able to see your face pretty well while feeding. She should also be able to follow movements when you walk close by.

You should not swaddle your baby after he or she is 2 months old. Doing so could cause your baby to get stuck facedown when rolling over. Sleep sacks are available without the swaddle piece for babies of this age, or the swaddle piece can be used under your baby's arms with the arms out.

It is also better to wait until the baby's digestive system has improved as corn is fairly difficult to digest. Make a soft corn puree and feed the mixture to your baby. When your baby turns 2 years old, you can start giving him/her creamed corn. When your baby can chew food, you can give him/her corn kernels to eat.

A calming bedtime routine may help with nighttime grinding. If your baby continues grinding their teeth throughout childhood, or develops pain or complications, check in with your dentist. There are special mouthguards that can be custom-fit to your child's teeth to prevent permanent tooth damage.
