Teething, the emergence of the first baby teeth through a baby’s gums, can be a frustrating time for many babies – and their parents. It helps to know what to expect when your child is teething, and what you can do to make the process a little less painful for you and your child.

Teething can begin as early as 3 months and continue until a child’s third birthday.

Kids toys are an important part of a toddler’s life. They teach a little boy or girl about colors, sounds, letters, motion, and friction. They can also inspire a child’s creativity. Yet, it’s also important that toys be safe so that children do not get hurt while playing.

The figure includes some 70,000 toy-related injuries to pre-schoolers. As a result, fire and safety experts have put together some tips for keeping children safe at play.
