A. no not at this age. what you have described is totally normal and there is no need to worry regarding this. but if you feel that it it seems to be something different you can meet your doctor regarding this and the doctor will guide you.

A. Hello dear parent! Check if your baby is teething. Gently press your child’s gums with a soft cotton cloth dipped in cold water to reduce teething symptoms. Use Babyhug teethers for your baby. Consult your doctor for further assistance
