Question

My baby always chews on my nipple after feeding. Is it because of teething, or could there be another reason?

Answer

Typically, children start teething between the ages of 4 to 10 months. During this process, they may experience discomfort and may chew on things to alleviate this unease. Therefore, your baby’s chewing on the nipple might be due to teething. Additionally, some children may exhibit symptoms like fever, irritability, and drooling during the teething period.
