Teething has been assumed to be the cause of many infantile problems (including fever, diarrhoea, fits) because of its chance association with those conditions. Irritability and salivation with dribbling are due to the pain associated with eruption of the teeth.
4.00: Feeding, eating and drinking

Try this if your baby is teething. Fill an ice cube mould with fruit purees, then freeze it. Pop out individual cubes and use them as teething soothers for your baby! Put treats in a mesh bag before giving them to very little ones to suck on.

There is no clear physiological reason why babies should develop a fever during teething, but there is no doubt this happens in some babies, in spite of traditional medical teaching to the contrary. A fever is never high if due to teething alone. The fever of teething is usually very short-lived – less than 24 hours – while a fever caused by a viral infection can go on for several days.

Most participants were accepting of robots in general. This meant that participants deemed them “fun” and useful to society, both on an industrial level and for household use. Their use as tools and equipment was often highlighted, and most participants perceived robots as ongoing prototypes. They were, therefore, accepting that they would have some “teething” problems until they were developed on a mass scale. I think they’re fun- I do! (P5)I can imagine that all robots are going to have a lot of teething trouble until somebody really gets down to manufacturing them on scale and sorting everything out about them. (P4)
Opportunities for enteral drug delivery for neonates, infants, and toddlers: a critical exploration

The Infant and Toddler Forum proposes 5 key stages categories [Birth-1 month, 1–3 months, 3–6 months, 6–12 months, and 12 months-2 years] encompassing developmental transformations including cognitive understanding, recognition, (oral)motor functions, language, feeding changes from liquids to semi-solids, teething, and declination of gag reflex. Behavioral changes such as sleeping times, nappy habits, attitudes, taste/texture preferences, and teething discomfort could also have effects on medicine administration [10]. Plausibly, children <2 years cannot proactively partake in their treatment to any extent, unlike older children, with complete dependence on their caregivers. Therefore, consideration weighs even more heavily toward ease of administration of the dosage form by the caregiver [11].

A body of research supports the facilitatory role of co-occurring mouthing and vocalization in the development of both language perception and production.22,69–74 For example, Fagan and Iverson71 identified changes in articulatory postures arising from the co-occurrence of vocalizations with mouthing, as based on 40 TD infants, aged 6–9 months. They reported that the babbling of infants that occurred concurrently with mouthing contained a greater variety of supraglottal consonants (e.g.,/b/,/d/,/g/) than non-mouthing vocalizations. The longitudinal research paradigm of Majorano et al.,72 additionally, identified not only an attentional bias to sounds sampled in the infant’s own vocalizations but also a positive relationship between the preverbal articulatory practice and the number of first words produced. Finally, Choi et al.22,70 illustrated the capacity to influence an infant’s articulatory configurations and speech perception by temporarily impairing the speech movements of infants using different types of teething toys.
