Q: How can I tell if my baby is teething?

A: It's anyone's guess when your baby will get his first teeth - he could be born with them ;he could be still toothless at 1 - but more than likely he'll let you know they're on the way...

Classic signs are:
*Swollen and red gums
*Redness on the cheeks
*Dribbling
*A sudden desire to gnaw on everything (offer teethers)
*Sore skin around the chin and mouth ( caused by dribble)
*Disturbed sleep
*Ear pulling

Other signs parents pick up on - but could be symptoms of something else:
*Appetite loss
*Nappy rash and/or very dirty/runny nappies
*Slight fever
