What are the symptoms of baby teething?

After a baby is born and grows up, there will be corresponding things to do at certain stages, which is an experience for both the baby and the mother. For example, during the teething period, babies cannot speak yet, so the pain caused by teething depends on the mother's judgment. Every baby is different, and the performance during the teething period is also different. The following is an introduction to the performance of babies during the teething period:

1. Drooling a lot

When a baby's teeth erupt, it stimulates the gingival nerves, causing increased secretion of the salivary glands, and the baby will drool. Some babies secrete more, which causes the skin around the mouth to become rough, cracked, and even develop rashes due to the constant stimulation of saliva.

2: Red, swollen and painful gums

Sometimes you will see some bruises or redness on your baby's gums, and occasionally blood spots. In severe cases, the swollen and painful gums will also spread to the ears and areas around the face, and the baby will then show small movements such as pulling his ears or rubbing his cheeks.

3. Chewing anything that comes into the mouth

From biting their own hands, to biting their mother's nipples, and even biting strangers' fingers. He or she will chew on anything that comes into their mouth to relieve pressure inside their gums and make themselves feel more comfortable.

4. Irritability

When the deciduous teeth slowly push out of the gums, the pain may intensify. The baby cannot express the pain with words, so he will become irritable, angry, and cry. Mothers will also feel that their children are not as well-behaved as before.

5. Loss of appetite

Teething babies often become fussy when feeding. He may appear eager to suck milk because he wants to put something in his mouth, but once he starts sucking milk, the sucking action will cause pain in his gums, which will make the baby refuse food.

6. Diarrhea

Some babies experience diarrhea when they are teething. This is because when the baby is teething, there will be too much saliva, and swallowing too much saliva may cause a slightly lower appetite or loose stools.

7. Fever

Some babies may also have a fever when teething. In fact, fever is only a symptom, not a disease itself. It represents the body's response to inflammation, which is a good phenomenon. Infection, trauma, etc. can cause inflammatory responses, and teething is a minor traumatic process.

8. Sleep may be affected

The most common situation where teething affects sleep is when the first tooth and molars come out. The pain will cause the baby to wake up suddenly at night. At this time, do not rush to coax him or feed him. See if he can settle down by himself.
