The natural process in which a baby develops teeth is 'baby teething'. The age of teeth appearance varies with all children. For some, the age can be as early as 3 months, while for others it can be more than a year- often following the genetic patterns. Generally, baby teething is a painful process, more so because the symptoms are so different and the parents have no idea how to deal with it.
Pointer given below will help you to identify teething issues.
- If baby teething begins early around 3-4 months, symptom of drooling is prominent. Level of drooling varies and excessive drooling brings about chin rashes. This is highly irritating for the baby. Solution is to carry or tie a piece of cloth around the baby to soak all the drooling. Otherwise, the extra saliva formed cause the baby to cough, even though the baby does not have cold, flu and fever. You know having cold at such a young age can be disastrous. Prevent such situation with precautions.
- Pain of baby teething makes the baby bite and gnaw upon anything handy. Rubbing the mouth and trying to bite helps to relieve pain and pressure on gums. This accompanies the symptom of pulling ear and frequent cheek rubbing caused by the emergence of molar teeth. A little further development of teeth pressurize the gums, therefore, baby behaves irritably and constantly fuss. Sleeping pattern becomes erratic too. No amount of cajoling seems to help though not all babies react in the same manner. Give them time to become accustomed with the changes.
- Loose bowel movement is the widely accepted and contradicted view of parents and doctors. Swallowing large amount of saliva loosens the bowel movement. Notify the doctor of such diarrhea symptom.
Solutions like cold foods, cold water, teething rings, teething toys, yoghurt and others are ascribed by parents and doctors to reduce baby teething problems.
