Teething in newborn babies usually starts at an age of three
months and continues till they are of age of around three years.
For few babies the teething process may begin early
or little later, in about one in two
thousand babies are born with one or more teeth and
few babies do not even get their first teeth until
they are six months older.
During teething process the edge of the
teeth grows out and pushes the gums to open a widening
in gum and
creates a way for its sprouting out. This process causes
lot of itchiness in gums and makes baby to cut or
chew
any object that they get around. It is also noted
that babies sometime begins biting mother while
feeding. In reality biting and
chewing produced scratches or friction and pressure
on gums that helps the teeth to grow out of gums
faster.
TIP: During the
teething period, provide a clean teether or teething
ring to kids, this are generally soft and are
scientifically designed to easy the itching and help
the baby to grow out the teeth faster. Alternatively teething
biscuits are recommended. This biscuits are usually
hard and can be
given to the baby to chew that will loosen
the gums and will ease the sprouting of teeth.
During teething as the teeth grows out it puts lots
of pressure from inside the gums and in many kids
the gums get swollen, becomes red or becomes to much
irritable. Teething process can be visualized like a hard rock pressurizing against a
marshy mass, this sometime creates pain and
irritation in and around the gums that usually gets more
intense during the night, causing more pain in
the gums. While teething the baby gets more irritated and
usually cries frequently at night..
TIP: Provide child with
soft teether or teething rings, apply pure cow ghee
around the swollen gums. If the situation does not
improves and the child continues to cry seek the medication
as prescribed by the pediatrician.
During teething salivation is more intense
due to the excessive activities of mouth and
gums.
TIP: Keep saliva napkin around babies neck and make
sure that this napkin is soft and clean and is
changed frequently. The
napkin should be soft and should be kept
sufficiently loose away from the neck of the newborn
so that the neck of newborn doesn't gets compressed.
Buff the kids with baby powder around neck and make
sure no rashes or compression in skin is produced
either by saliva or by saliva napkin.
Eating habits and
pattern of newborn babies changes a lot during
teething, many babies totally avoid feeding because of
excessive pains in gums. It is also noted that some
babies starts eating more solids foods.
TIP: Provide child with
soft teether or teething rings, Provide teething
biscuit or cookies to kids. Provide gentle massage
to gums with clean hands and pure cow ghee. Consult
pediatrician (child doctor) if the condition is too
painful or else if the kids grows weaker because of
change in eating pattern
Teething experience is faced by every kid
and this experiences varies from kids to kids,
sometime kids gets fever, loose motion, bleeding or
swelling in gums. Parents are advised to consult
doctor if needed
