What does early teething mean for babies?

Babies will grow teeth in the fourth month after birth. It is normal to grow teeth at this time. By the time the baby is one year old, the number of teeth will reach about 8, and by the time the baby is 2 to 2 and a half years old, there will be about 20. What does it mean if your baby's teeth come out early? This is a very normal phenomenon. When the baby's teeth are growing, we can add some foods that have a developmental effect on the teeth to allow the teeth to grow healthily.

If your baby has an increased amount of saliva, drools, prefers to bite hard objects, may bite the mother's nipples while breastfeeding, and has restless sleep, then you should pay attention, because your baby is telling you: I am about to grow teeth! During this period, parents should pay most attention to the baby's nutrition. The correct addition of complementary foods can provide the necessary nutrition for the baby's tooth eruption. At the same time, it can exercise the child's chewing ability, promote blood circulation in the mouth, and thus accelerate the development of the newly erupted white teeth.

From 4 to 6 months old, the baby's complementary food should be mainly mushy food to train the child's ability to spit and swallow, and move the tongue back and forth. The texture of food changes from thin paste to thick paste. For example, rice paste, egg yolk paste, mashed potato paste, etc.

From 7 to 9 months, you can add some softer food to your baby to exercise his tongue's ability to move up and down and to crush food with his tongue and upper jaw. For example, chopped vegetable noodle soup, soft noodles, applesauce, shrimp oatmeal porridge, etc.

For babies aged 10 to 12 months, choose foods that can be ground by the gums. Let him practice moving his tongue left and right and chewing food with his gums. For example, steamed bread slices, bread slices, cheese tofu, wontons, fruit salad, apple slices, etc.

What does it mean if your baby's teeth come out early? This is a very normal phenomenon. We should let children eat soft food slowly, and then gradually eat hard food when their teeth grow more. This will give children's teeth more chewing power, and their teeth will get better and better. The food you eat can be good for your teeth, helping your child's teeth grow better and better.
