Ha!...Teething has nothing to do with fever, diarrhoea, diaper rash, ill appearance or lowered resistance to infection.

There are 2 reasons for the onset of infections between 6 and 12 months of age: The loss of transplacental antibodies (protect against infections) and the developmental milestone of chewing on everything.

These factors predispose the infants to having infections around this time which also coincide with onset of bring out new teeth. However it has nothing to do with teething. This is often the most common Wrong assumption about teething by Mums.

CAUTION!!! Blaming teething for fevers can lead to a delayed diagnosis of ear infections, urinary tract infections, meningitis and other infections.

I take quite tricky.... Teething doesn't cause diarrhoea and at the same time it does...this is because when a child is teething he or she would put everything in sight into the mouth in a bid to soothe itching gum and by so doing baby gets tiny diarrhoea causing organisms into his system.the diarrhoea in return causes diaper rash..

Yes I think so. Even a very hygienic mum notices those symptoms in her baby's teething process
