Babies start teething at an age of three months and continue this unto an age of three years. While it has also been discovered that one in two thousand babies are born with one tooth at least. But how to get the information that baby is teething.
1. While teething the calcium mass of teeth pushes the gums to open wide and creates a way for its sprouting out. This causes the itchiness in gums, which makes baby to gnaw any object that is within reach. This biting and chewing puts the pressure and friction felt like scratching on the gums and usually is relieving for the irritable feel to baby.
TIP: To handle this itching teething rings, teething objects and teething biscuits are recommended. Freeze them hard and then give to the bay to chew that of course will loosen the pain and irritation.
2. Gums get swollen, red and bruised because the tooth puts pressure from inside. It is the process like a hard rock pressurizing against a lumpy mass. This creates pain and irritation in and around the gums. This activity gets more intense during the night, causing more pain in the gums. Due to this baby get irritated and starts weeping frequently and gets sleep disruption whole night. Sometimes the pain of teething gets so intense that it enters the Eustachian canal and due to this baby pulls ear more frequently to get a relief from pain.
TIP: Administer the medication as prescribed by the pediatrician and carefully and softly rub chilled wash cloth on the gums.
3. During teething the drooling is more intense and sudden, while reverse is not always true. This salivation is due to the excessive activities of mouth and gums by baby.
TIP: Excessive salivation can cause sores in the neck creases. So always keep a saliva napkin attached and also apply some baby powder in the crease area so that moisture gets soaked up.
4. Eating routines and functions of baby change drastically. Many babies only succumb to breast or bottle feeding, while others avoid this also because of excessive pains in gums. It could be that baby may start eating more solids than before to create a scratching effect for the itching gums.
TIP: Give baby the teething biscuits and cookies for non paining gums, while for painful gums medication is recommended, plus you can massage mildly with extreme chilled wash cloth.
Teething experience varies from kids to kids and some times effects like fever, loose motion or bleeding of gums are visible. Parents must consult doctor immediately and get proper medication prescribed for the baby.
