A. Teeth can errupt at any time from birth But most of the baby have their 1st teeth between 5-15 of age Teeth eruptions is a natural process No need to do anything for that Don't give any medication for that unless fever and exessive crying. Just do gum massage with ur little finger thrice a day Give teether if possible, Clean teether every time before use. It will help

A. Don't use gripe water to ur baby It's of no use It may cause infection to baby Always better to avoid. No need to give anything except vitamin D3 drops, if baby is on exclusive breast feed. Continue with exclusive breast feed ur baby till completing 6months of age. It will help.

A. Hello Avoid giving gripe water to babies, as it may contain components (alcohol, sodium carbonate,sucrose), which are not desirable. There is no medical proof of their benefits. In case your child is suffering from colic pain, please do take advice of your paediatrician to suggest suitable medications
