teething pain
Baby's emerging discomfort
Teething pain is the discomfort infants experience when their first teeth push through the gums, typically between six months and two years of age.
The phrase extends figuratively to the early difficulties of any new venture: The startup experienced some teething pain with its payment system.
British English favors *teething troubles* for this sense.
