The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

Babies usually start teething between 4-7 months. The first tooth to appear is usually a lower front tooth. But here's an important point: some babies cut teeth at 3 months, while others don't have a tooth until 12-14 months — both are usually normal.

Teething signs can include increased drooling, wanting to bite on fingers or objects, swollen or tender gums, and mild fussiness. Anything above 38°C fever, diarrhea, or rash shouldn't be blamed on teething — that might be an infection, so talk to your pediatrician.

If your baby hasn't cut any teeth by 18 months, ask your pediatric dentist to take a look.
