Baby Teething and Its Effects
In Astrology, the timing of a baby's first tooth is considered a 'sign' (Nimitta) of the child's future and their impact on the family.
मासे चेत् प्रथमे भवेत्सदशनो बालो विनश्येत् स्वयं
हन्यात् सङ्क्रमतोऽनुजातभगिनीं मात्रग्रजान् द्व्याधिके ।
षष्ठादौ लभते हि भोगमतुलं तातात् सुखं पुष्टतां
लक्ष्मीं सौख्यमथो जनौ सदशनो बोध्यं स्वपित्रादिहा ॥

Cultural Context
This originates from ancient text the Muhurta Chintamani. In these traditions, 'precocious' developments—like being born with teeth or teething very early—were seen as interruptions to the natural order.
Harmful Beliefs (Months 1–5): These were often called Doshas. The idea was that the baby was 'consuming' or 'biting' into the family’s energy too soon.
Prosperous Beliefs (Months 6–10): Since this is the most common time for teething, it was associated with stability, health, and wealth. It signaled that the baby was 'aligned' with nature.
