A. Hi yes this could be a sign of teething phase.. you can give your kid chilled silicone based teething rings or toys to chew on.. gently massage the gum pad area with clean finger tip or moist cold cotton cloth to facilitate the eruption process of teeth..

A. Hey now is the perfect time to start. The constant hand on mouth is a sign of that :)

A. Hello dear parent! Can indicate teething or just exploring things around by keeping everything inside mouth. You can definitely start giving teether to divert your baby. Maintain a good personal and oral hygiene for your baby. Gently press your child’s gums with a soft cotton cloth dipped in cold water to reduce teething discomfort.
