Is it difficult for babies to sleep well at night when they are teething?

Every baby's physical fitness is different, so the time when the baby grows teeth is also different. Some babies start growing teeth at 4 months old. However, some babies will not grow teeth until they are eight months old. It is said that teething will affect the baby's sleep quality. Let us now understand whether babies will have trouble sleeping at night due to teething.

Every baby develops at a different speed and has different symptoms. Some babies have no reaction to teething, some will have a fever, and some will make a fuss. My baby was spitting and drooling when he was more than four months old. I thought he was about to grow teeth, but they didn't come out until he was seven and a half months old. During that period, he was particularly delicate, crying and making a fuss at night. When your baby is teething, be careful not to feed him too many sour foods, such as oranges. During the conversation, someone from Wyeth actually told me that my baby's teeth weren't growing because he was calcium deficient, and asked me to feed him some milk powder, as I'm exclusively breastfeeding. When I told her that my baby's trace element check showed no deficiency, she had nothing to say. There is a saying in our hometown that if your teeth grow late, you will have more meat to eat, which means it is better to grow teeth late. Teething is normal as long as it occurs before the age of one year. It is said that babies who grow upper teeth first are calcium deficient, but I don’t know if there is any basis for this statement. If your baby has teeth, it is best not to use filled chewing gum for fear that the baby may bite it. My baby doesn’t like teething sticks, but he likes finger biscuits. I have been feeding him Fang Guang’s finger teething biscuits so that his teeth can grow faster.

In most cases, babies' teeth erupt naturally without them noticing, and may occasionally be accompanied by local redness, itching, drooling, etc. These are all natural physiological phenomena, and mothers do not need to be overly nervous.

When sleeping at night, the baby becomes restless or even cries because of teething. At this time, a pacifier is needed to help. Let your baby fall asleep with a pacifier in his mouth. The silicone material has a pleasant taste and makes the baby feel comfortable. Some pacifiers for night use can glow in the dark to better divert the baby's attention.

When babies are teething, their gums often become painful. Giving your baby some teething tools can effectively relieve this uncomfortable feeling. In addition to hard biscuits such as teething sticks, you can also choose some cute teething rings for your baby. Babies will love the cartoon animal shapes and bright colors.

Of course, mothers can be more careful and choose the appropriate teether style according to the baby's age. You should know that the growth of teeth of a 3-month-old and 6-month-old baby is different, and the pressure level required is also different.

For example, for babies who have begun to grow back teeth, the pain of teething will be greater. The teething rings they are given can be gel-type, which should be placed in the refrigerator to cool before the baby uses them, so that the cooling pressure can soothe the baby.

The above is an explanation of why babies cannot sleep well at night due to teething. In fact, this is the situation. It's also normal. Every baby has a different physique, so teething happens. The impact on the baby is also different. Some of them will affect the baby's sleep quality, but some of them will not affect the baby's sleep condition.
