Some babies become irritable, dribbling and putting everything in their mouths are common signs of baby teething.

As baby's teeth begin to push through the gums, the baby may feel some soreness and can become cranky and irritable.

Your babies gums may appear red, slightly swollen and may feel hard. Being feverish maybe a sign of teething, but not always so.

 Fever may also be a symptom of something else for which you may visit your doctor.

Sucking a thumb is okay before the age of three bit it should be gradually discouraged after that since it can push the upper front teeth forward.
