When does a baby start to grow teeth? What are the symptoms of a baby's teething?

In the blink of an eye, the baby has been born for several months. Is it time for the baby to start teething? When does the baby start to grow teeth? What are the symptoms before the baby starts to grow teeth?

The baby's deciduous teeth begin to erupt 4 to 10 months after birth, and all teeth are erupted at the latest by 2.5 years old. The eruption of children's teeth varies greatly from person to person, some are earlier, some are later. But for a particular child, it is normal. Children with early teeth may begin to erupt their lower incisors at more than four months. Most children begin to erupt at 6 to 8 months, and a small number of children begin to erupt after one year old. But for these children, if there is no systemic developmental abnormality, it is normal.

During the teething period, babies often show some abnormal symptoms, including irritability, drooling, swollen gums, restless sleep, chewing, crying or fever, etc. During the teething period, babies have gum discomfort. In this case, parents must take good care of their babies' oral cavity, gently massage their gums, and provide children with some soft and chewy food, so that the baby can relieve the discomfort of the gums during the chewing process.

1. Teething is generally painless, but some babies may feel uncomfortable and irritated. You can put a clean finger or moistened gauze in your child's mouth and rub the gums, which will help him; a cool teething ring can also be used to relieve gum discomfort during teething.

2. Be careful when using teethers. Excessive use of teethers is not good for children.

3. Teething does not cause fever. If your child has a fever, you should take him to see a doctor, as there may be other reasons.

4. Breastfeeding is beneficial to the baby's tooth development.

5. When your baby is 6 months old, he can use a cup. When he is 1 year old, he should stop using a bottle. This is good for his tooth development.

6. Just add some water or regular pure milk between meals. Don't let your child drink juice or other drinks because they contain a lot of sugar. If you want to give your baby some juice or milk with sweeteners, you can let your child drink it directly during meals.

7. When your baby's first tooth comes out, you should brush his teeth twice a day. The most important time is before going to bed at night. Use a soft baby toothbrush, squeeze a small amount of toothpaste on it, and brush his teeth gently. Be careful not to let your child swallow the toothpaste.
