Like all new machines, it had a few teething troubles but it is working well now.

This sentence means that the machines had some troubles at the

beginning,but later it worked well.right?:-)

The section on idioms seems to be having some teething problems.

That sounds quite odd if we were to take it literally and that person is a full-grown adult. :lol:

Actually, it wouldn't normally be used that way. It is used to refer to a project of some sort. Example:

A: How is the project going?

B: It is having teething problems. (It is having trouble getting started.)

Beats meeeeee !

e.g. Many marriages go through teething problems in the first few months.
