How old can babies eat teething sticks?

Nowadays, many families have only one child, so they love their babies very much. The baby's every move is a matter of concern to the parents. Many parents only know how to care for the baby blindly, but do not know how to do some daily care for the baby. When the baby is about to grow teeth, he will drool frequently, which is relatively normal. So, at what age is it better for the baby to eat teething sticks?

Babies sometimes want to bite things. This is actually normal and parents don’t need to worry, but they can also use teething sticks to improve the situation.

When you find that your baby drools a lot and always likes to bite things and gnaw his fingers, usually when the baby is about six months old, you can give the baby teething biscuits regardless of whether the baby has teeth or not. Teething biscuits are not just for babies who have already grown teeth. It is also beneficial for babies who are about to grow teeth to chew them, as it can strengthen the toughness of their gums. Although the baby has not yet grown teeth, the baby's gums are becoming harder and harder, so the baby should be fed some hard food to exercise the baby's chewing ability, which is more conducive to the eruption of teeth. Some babies start to grow teeth at 4 months old. Therefore, you can let your baby bite the teether appropriately. However, not every baby likes teething sticks. Some babies may not be interested in teething sticks and continue to chew their fingers. If this is the case, the mother does not need to let the baby eat teething sticks. Just make sure to keep the baby's hands clean.

Most baby teeth erupt between 4 and 10 months, and sometimes as late as 12 months. Generally, a one-year-old child will have 6-8 teeth. During the eruption of deciduous teeth, the baby's saliva volume increases, he drools, and he likes to bite hard objects. He will put his fingers in his mouth or bite his mother's nipples. These phenomena are manifestations of abnormal sensations caused by the compression of the gingival nerves by the deciduous teeth before they erupt, indicating that the young deciduous teeth are trying to overcome the coverage of the gums. Therefore, during this time, the baby can be provided with some teething biscuits to help the deciduous teeth erupt and correct the phenomenon of biting the nipple, while also timely training the baby's oral chewing function.
