yea agree.. some will some will not.  but do expect some bbs to feel cranky.. can also try applying teething gel to soothe the pain on their gums..

It's a myth.
However, it makes sense to me that if a baby is teething, he will put more objects in his mouth and therefore be exposed to more germs. This exposure could lead to an infection such as a cold, which could cause a fever 'from teething'.
