The process differs too, some babies face difficulty while some don’t even realize.  Here, we are mentioning some of the teething blues that mostly indicate that your tiny tot is getting ready for his first bite:

• Want to chew anything: An emerging tooth pushes beneath the gums to come out and may feel itchy or funny to the baby & he tries to find out things to chew to get over this worrying sensation. Thus, children often chew and bite on anything that they can lay their hands on including mom's breasts while breastfeeding and that really hurts.
• Swollen gums:  Many times it is seen that when tooth is about to come it swallows the gums. This is because eruption of a new tooth’s pushes the gum from beneath incessantly in a struggle to gum, makes the gums look red, swollen, and puffy and bruised before it actually emerges. As soon as the tooth appears, the gums will be back to normal.
• Increased irritability and fussiness, especially at night: The baby becomes more irritated & fussiness, especially in night because the tooth moves through the bone and gum that occurs in stages and is more active at night.

Still others may like to eat solids (sometimes more than usual) because chewing on food items creates the counter-pressure that feels good and helps relieve pain in gums.
