Whenever the first tooth peeks through, it can be cause to celebrate, but teething, the emergence of the first teeth through the baby's gums, can also be a very difficult time for both the parents and the baby. For some babies, teething is painless, while others may experience irritability and crankiness for weeks, including disrupted sleeping and eating patterns. This milestone is typically not something a baby reaches all at once, as teething can begin as early as 3 months and continue until a child's third birthday. Hide
