My experience as a mother  

When I research this topic and I read about different things some people say baby teething start at the age of four months some say at the age of five months but my experience is different I will describe the things in bullet form 

• My baby starts teething at the age of nine months  
• He completes all 2o teeth in four months 
• At the age of 13 months, he completes his teething journey  
• He faces a lot of disturbance as well 
• Appearance two or three teeth at a time  
• He faces a lot of crankiness and high fever mostly at nights 
• Not eat well because of pain 
• Vomiting some time but he does not face diarrhea 
• I gave liquid forms of food like soup and porridge  
• First, I do not give any type of medicine but when a fever starts, I gave medicine with the advice of the doctor. 

I just show my experience because new moms become concerned when their baby starts teething and all the type of things but don’t worry everybody has a different journey.  

In last, your concerns as a mother are valuable, stay strong and positive and connect with your child’s doctor. Motherhood is beautiful but it is not an easy job. Enjoy all the movements with your baby and family.  If your baby facing teething, and you read this believe me you are a good mother or father.
