frequently asked questions

Commonly between 4 to 7 months, but every baby is different!

Look for drooling, fussy mood, gnawing, and maybe red gums.

Gentle gum rubs, cool washcloths, and lots of extra cuddles!

Maybe a mild temp increase or runny nose. High fever usually means something else – check with your pediatrician.

Yes, completely normal! Teething is uncomfortable. Extra patience helps!

Absolutely! Safe teething toys, like our nubo ones, give little ones something safe to chew on. This helps soothe their gums and provides a welcome distraction from the discomfort. Happy chewing!

Babies march to their own drum! Teething timelines vary a lot. Delays are usually just a normal part of their unique development. Those teeth will show up when they're ready!

It really varies for each baby. Often, the first teeth (usually the bottom front) and the molars (back teeth) can cause more discomfort as they're bigger.

All that extra drool needs somewhere to go! Teething rash often shows up on the chin, neck, and chest due to irritation from constant wetness. Keep that area clean and dry!

Look for toys made from safe materials like 100% food-grade silicone or natural rubber. Make sure they are free from nasty chemicals like BPA, PVC, and phthalates, and don't have small parts that could be a choking hazard. (Hint: nubo teethers tick all these boxes!).

Usually, the two bottom front teeth (central incisors) are the first to make an appearance. But sometimes a different tooth might pop through first – babies love to keep us on our toes!

This is a tricky one! Many experts and health organizations don't recommend teething gels, especially those with benzocaine, due to safety concerns. It's best to stick to safe teething toys, gum massage, and other non-medicinal remedies. Always check with your pediatrician for advice.
