Worried about teething

I have a very happy 16 week old baby girl, who hardly ever fusses and is a great sleeper. I’m so worried that when she starts teething it’ll be awful for her, and us! Anyone’s little ones not suffer too much or for too long?

Varies so much with each child doesn't it.

Some babies breeze through it others suffer a bit.

I would recommend stocking up on things that will help soothe her gums, teethers in the fridge, teething powder, I found Anbesol liquid worked really well.

My DS started teething at 2 months and continued for many months, it wasn't too bad bar the couple of days when a new tooth was erupting.

Lots of comfort and cuddles too, it's not the nicest time and tough to see LO suffering with it but they're fine and don't remember. Just about keeping them comfortable.
