| Little bookworm mom
In the process of parenting, it is inevitable to encounter various problems. A few days ago, there was a message from a treasure mother to me, she said, little bookworm mother, my baby is almost seven months old, recently found that he does not love to drink milk, nor do he love to eat complementary foods, sleep, temper is still particularly large, do not know what problems this child has?
I told her not to worry, open the baby's mouth, and see if it's time to teeth? After a while, the mother was very happy to tell me that the baby should be teething, the gums were a little red and swollen, and they looked swollen.
When the baby is 6 to 7 months old, the deciduous teeth will slowly grow out. When the baby teeth, there will be all kinds of discomfort, and his discomfort is really painful. Especially mothers, they are eager to bear it instead of their babies. In order to avoid teething, mothers do not know how to take care of the baby, and it is best for new mothers to understand the performance of the baby's teething in advance.
When my baby teethed, I read a lot of related parenting books, and I also checked a lot of related information on the Internet, such as when does the baby teeth? What is the order of your baby's teething? What do you do when you grow teeth? What is good to eat when your baby teeth?
Through learning, I have a deeper understanding of the nursing knowledge of baby deciduous teeth. Here's how baby baby baby teeth behave and how I cope.
So, what are the manifestations of baby deciduous teeth?
Combined with the knowledge learned, I carefully observed the performance of my baby when growing deciduous teeth, mainly the following 5 points, I used 5 methods to deal with it, to see if your baby's situation is the same?
(1) Drooling is particularly high
When your baby teeth, it will especially stimulate the secretion of saliva. I found that in the process of teething, the baby's saliva is particularly heavy, and all of a sudden, it will wet the clothes on the chest.
In order not to let the saliva often wet the clothes, I had to put on a saliva towel for the baby every day and wipe the saliva with clean gauze or a soft cotton handkerchief in time. At the same time, the baby's saliva towel is also often replaced for him, keeping it dry to avoid the baby's eczema.
(2) Have a big temper and are prone to crying
When the tip of the tooth is getting closer and closer to the top of the gumbed, the inflammation will be aggravated, the pain will continue, the baby will feel very uncomfortable, and often cry.
During my baby's teething, I found that his temper was bigger than usual, and when he didn't like it, he was very irritable and cried. This situation is more obvious before going to bed, it is difficult to fall asleep, and in the middle of the night, often wake up crying.
Sometimes, I cried a few times a night, and there was no way, so I had to get up, carry him around the room, and coax him to continue sleeping. This condition continues until the baby's teeth grow out, and then slowly improve.
During this time, in order to alleviate the baby's gum discomfort, during the day, I usually give the baby some teether or teething cake to bite and divert his attention. I've found that with the help of teethers and grinding cookies, babies are less irritable and can play quietly.
(3) Likes to bite people and bite hard things
There is a saying that a baby with tusks is like a tiger that bites when caught. Indeed, in the process of teething, my baby really "bites when he sees things", biting his own hands and feet; biting all parts of his mother's body; biting the children who play together; and biting various toys.
At first, I didn't understand the child's behavior and threw a tantrum at criticizing him. After learning, I learned that this is because the tooth germ is pushed upwards when it germinates, which will make the baby feel itchy and uncomfortable. In order to eliminate this discomfort, he can only relieve the pressure of teething under the gums through this behavior, relieving the discomfort.
At this time, the correct practice for parents: prepare some teethers, teething biscuits, finger food for the baby, let the baby bite, help the teeth to erupt, and at the same time, alleviate the baby's discomfort.
(4) Refusal to eat
As the mother just described, during the baby's teething, there will be problems of reluctance to drink milk and eat complementary foods. My baby is the same, and when he is breastfeeding, he is often seen to become irritable.
Your baby may want to stuff something into his mouth and appear anxious to pump, but once he starts pumping, he will make the gums sore because of the sucking action, and he will appear to be not interested in pumping. When feeding complementary food, the baby will increase the gum pain during the chewing process, and the baby will become reluctant to eat.
At this time, the correct way for the mother is to give the baby enough patience, eat less and eat more meals, and supplement nutrition by feeding the baby breast milk or formula.
(5) The number of times the baby has more stools
During the process of teething, I found that the baby's stools were more frequent than usual, and sometimes they were thinner. I checked the relevant information and said that the baby's diarrhea may not have anything to do with teething. However, when my two babies were teething, this situation did exist.
The right thing for parents: In order to avoid diarrhea, I still suspended adding other complementary foods to him, and no longer fed the baby too many indigestible foods and cold and irritating foods. During this time, it is mainly based on easily digestible foods such as porridge, noodles, and milk. In addition, during this time, I often take my baby out to exercise and improve my immunity.
The above 5 points are the performance of my baby when he teething and my coping method. When your baby teeth, what are the manifestations and how do you cope with it? Please leave a comment in the comment area, thanks!
