How To Survive Teething With Your Toddler

Teething is a big milestone in your toddler’s development. But with the victories of progression, there are trials that come with it. Here are some tips to help you tacking your child’s teething phase and put everyone at ease.

Understanding Teething

Children are born with a full set of teeth, but they hide underneath the gums. As they get older, they start to grow upwards and out, which is called teething.
Teething happens anywhere between 4 and 10 months, but there are no rules to when your toddlers teeth will start growing in. It could be sooner than that, or later, it just depends on your child. Just Simply Mom explains the process thoroughly in this post.

Symptoms of Teething

  • Excessive drooling
  • Need to bit or chew on objects
  • Change in food or drink preference
  • Irritability
  • Swollen or red gums
  • Abnormal sleeping patterns
  • White spots (tooth) visible under gums
  • Chewing their hands or playing with their face
  • Runny nose or cough

Some children react more to teething. If you notice any extreme symptoms, consult with your pediatrician and monitor them. More extreme symptoms include:

  • Fever (over 101F)
  • Diarrhea
  • Rash

Other symptoms that may come with teething include excessive biting. While it isn’t ideal behavior we’d like to see in our children, do understand that they are doing it because of teething pains.

Duration of Teething

Teething will affect your child for the first 2 years of their lives, but only when a tooth is close to breaking the gums. Typically, it can take 1-7 days for a tooth to erupt, so if you are noticing symptoms for longer than this time frame, there may be something else bothering your child.

Pain Relievers

No parent wants to see their child in pain. Here are a few home remedies that will help soothe your child as they go through the teething process:

  • Put pressure on the gums
  • Use a cold toy or washcloth (not freezing)
  • Teething necklaces
  • Cold foods
  • Facial Massage
  • Tylenol or Motrin

Share your tips in the comments! If your child is teething and you would like to send a specific toy to help soothe their pain, let us know and we will accommodate them at Claire‘s.

We are a family owned & operated Parent’s Day Out (PDO) & Preschool, conveniently located in a fabulous north Dallas facility at Northaven Road & the Dallas North Tollway.

Though not a full-time child care center, our hours of operation are longer than typical Parent’s Day Out or Pre-K programs, with the option to attend up to a 7hr (8:30 – 3:30) day & up to five days per week.

Our calendar for the current school year is available here, and the calendar for the upcoming summer and following school year programs may be viewed here if available.

If you are interested in enrolling your child for a summer or school year program, we encourage you to schedule a tour to see our facilities and meet the caregivers or teacher.  To do so, please close this pop-up, click on REGISTER on the top right of our website, and follow the link to registration inquiry.  Tours are offered daily by appointment at 10:00 or 10:30.

If you have already toured and would like to proceed with registration, first make sure to familiarize yourself with our parent handbook, as well as tuition policies & holiday calendar for the term your child is enrolling:

If registering* your child for the CURRENT school year (September – May), please review our current school year tuition policies & current school holiday calendar.

If registering* your child for NEXT school year (September – May), our upcoming school year tuition policies & upcoming school year holiday calendar will be available when registration for these future terms opens (usually by late January / early February).

If registering* your child for our SUMMER session, carefully review our summer tuition policies & program dates, which will be available when enrollment for summer term programs begins (coincides with enrollment period for the next school year –typically in late January / early February).

These documents are always available on the DOCS/FORMS section of our website.

*Be certain of your child’s registration, as non-refundable & non-transferable tuition fees will be charged once registration is submitted, as a space in a classroom with limited availability is then reserved for your child. 

 

Late admissions accepted if space is available! To inquire about immediate openings, please call (214) 368-4047
