What are the symptoms of teething in babies?

Recently, my sister's nephew has been teething. When I saw his condition, I was very worried at first, and I didn't know what was wrong with him. Later, I told my nephew's situation to a friend who has children. My friend told me that my nephew was teething. Alas, ignorance is really a mistake. I didn't even know that these symptoms were caused by my nephew growing teeth. Now I will tell you about the possible symptoms of babies growing teeth, so that you don't have to suffer the same consequences as me in the future.

1. Love to drool and suck fingers;

2. Feeling irritable and emotionally disturbed;

3. Likes to bite the nipple or pacifier when feeding;

4. Some babies also show loss of appetite, are sensitive to hot or cold food and are unwilling to eat;

5. The gums are swollen or uneven, and the color becomes darker or lighter. During the teething period, you can add some foods such as teething biscuits to your baby. If there are other signs of abnormal growth and development, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Chewing can reduce gum pain, especially chewing cold things. Mom and dad can give the baby cooler bananas, carrots, apples, as well as sterilized, uneven rubber teething rings or rubber toys, for the baby to chew as much as he wants. But no matter what you let your baby bite, the baby must be sitting or standing and an adult must be watching over him or her to avoid any danger.

Massage: When the baby is restless and chews things, parents may wash their fingers and help the baby massage the gums. At first, the baby may resist a little because of the friction pain, but when the baby finds that this relieves the pain, he will soon calm down and be willing to let parents use their fingers to massage their gums. During the period of baby's tooth eruption, parents may sometimes find eruption hematoma (congestion and swelling of the tooth growing area) in the baby's gums. At this time, do not pick it open easily. If ulceration has occurred, please consult a dentist in time to prevent secondary infection.

Oral hygiene during the baby's teething period: During the baby's teething period, the mouth is very susceptible to infection by bacteria. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the baby's oral hygiene so that the baby can go through the teething period smoothly. It takes about two years for a baby to grow the first deciduous tooth and all the deciduous teeth to come out. Basically, a few teeth grow every few months. To maintain the baby's oral hygiene during the period of tooth eruption, the mother should wrap gauze around her fingers to help the baby wipe the gums and the newly exposed teeth after each breastfeeding or feeding the baby. After the teeth erupt, you can continue to use this method to gently scrub and rub the erupted deciduous teeth from the labial surface (the outside of the teeth) to the lingual surface (the inside of the teeth), and gently massage the gums. At the same time, you should pay attention to giving your baby some warm water after each meal to rinse the mouth.

Everything about the baby is the most important to mom and dad. When the baby is teething, mom and dad need to take more careful care and protection. Now we also know what symptoms your baby may experience during teething. Therefore, if you encounter such symptoms in the future, you must first consider whether your baby is about to grow teeth. You must remain calm so that you can better solve the problems happening to your baby.
