If your little one is one the verge of cutting his/her first tooth...it’s time for you to get prepared for an irritating and crying baby. Teething is a tough phase for both the baby as well as the parent. So I think parents should be prepared well in advance for this trying time.
I just came across this interesting piece of information on teething, so thought to share it with all of you. Moroline Whittington, a Family Therapist with Family Support Network has given some good tips on this very critical issue.

Excellent article. With our 14 month old daughter (she is our first), the teething has been one of the most trying things about parenting so far. She got her first set (top and bottom 4 teeth) when she was 3-4 months old... and is recently cutting her eye teeth. Many sleepless nights... one thing that works well to soothe her pain is to take a ziplock bag, put a little water in it, and freeze it. Rub it on her gums, and let her bite on it a little, but be very watchful for tears in the plastic - don’t want her to swallow any pieces of it! - A frozen clean washcloth works well too.
