Looking back at the days when my daughter was teething, it was really too much pain! Not only do children suffer, but the hearts of adults are often suspended in mid-air.
The reason is that one is the discomfort of teething, which makes the daughter particularly noisy, how to coax it is not good; the second is that almost every tooth grows, it will have a fever once, which is really mentioning the short time of the daughter's teething, and the eyebrows can't help but frown.
01. Inventory: Symptoms of baby teething
Some time ago, a friend's son is in the teething period, it seems that he has grown three teeth at present, the child is particularly noisy, every day saliva DC, saliva towel has been constantly replaced... Ask me several times what should I do?
In general, most children will have symptoms similar to drooling, making noise, sleeping restlessly, or having a low-grade fever when they are teething. When your child has these symptoms, how can parents help their children relieve them?
Here, Wen Wen Dad combined with the pediatrician consulted at the time and the relevant information consulted, to the family who are growing teeth of the father and mother to support a few tricks, so that the baby smoothly through the teething period.
Babies salivate a lot and don't stop
Mothers can carefully observe the baby who is teething, they often simulate the behavior of adults chewing, in the process, it will stimulate the salivary glands, resulting in a lot of saliva, non-stop phenomenon.
When the baby's saliva does not stop, parents should dry the saliva in time, and careful care, a little attention may damage the baby's delicate skin, resulting in rough skin around the mouth, redness, dander, severe cases will also cause saliva rash.
For babies who are teething, drooling is a normal phenomenon, at this time, the mothers should help the baby dry the saliva in time, and apply moisturizing cream to keep the skin around the mouth moist, so as to avoid saliva rash.
"Nibbling" everywhere, often eating hands
Babies in the teething period not only love to salivate non-stop, but also especially like to chew things everywhere, especially some hard things, a pair of small hands are often put in the mouth.
During the time when my daughter was teething, the thumb of her right hand was often in her mouth, and sometimes she would put the whole fist into her mouth and nibble, as if to tell her parents: Mom and Dad, I have teething!
The reason is that at this stage, the baby's gums become sensitive and swollen, which need to be relieved by "nibbling on hard objects". For babies who love to eat hands, parents should wash their children's hands frequently and keep their small hands clean.
Secondly, in order to alleviate the discomfort of the baby's teething, you can wash your hands or use a clean cotton swab to gently wipe your child's gums to help relieve the discomfort of soreness.
Finally, for babies who have added complementary foods, mothers can prepare some harder "finger foods" for their children, such as strips of carrots, apple strips, cucumber strips or teething biscuits.
Babies are noisy and cry
For most babies who have just teethed, they cannot express their emotions in words, but only through "crying".
During the time when the daughter was teething, she "cried" at every turn, and even Wen Wenpa, who was "spoiled for the female demon" and had a good temper, couldn't help but lose his temper.
In fact, for the teething baby, they are not deliberately crying, at this time, parents can pick up the child's favorite toys or food to divert the baby's attention, perhaps their mood will become better.
Baby has a fever and low-grade fever
Every time the daughter grows a tooth, there will be a low-grade fever, but each time the body temperature will not exceed 38 ° C, through physical cooling, drink more warm water, can quickly reduce the body temperature.
At that time, Wen Wen's father consulted the pediatrician about this, why did boao tusks have a fever, and what would happen after the fever? The answer given by the doctor is that when the baby teeth, the gums are easy to itch, and the baby likes to eat hands, so it is easy to bring germs in, thus causing infection.
However, if the baby's body temperature is only elevated, and does not exceed 38 ° C, and there are no other symptoms, it may be a slight "tusk fever" that can be physically cooled at home.
However, if the body temperature exceeds 38 ° C, there are symptoms such as loss of appetite, diarrhea, drowsiness, etc., you need to go to the hospital immediately.
02. When does the baby grow teeth? The order of teething is like this
Generally speaking, babies will gradually begin to teeth after 6 months of birth, but different children's physical development is different, and the teething time is also sooner or later.
For example, a baby who teeth early may have his first tooth at 4 months old; a baby with late teeth may not grow his first tooth until he is 10 months old or even 1 year old.
The daughter belongs to the baby with late teething, and when she first grew teeth, she did not know how many hospitals she ran, and finally gave the result: the child's body is not abnormal, go home to give the child more hard food, stimulate the eruption of deciduous teeth.
But the doctor also reminds that if the baby has not grown the first tooth after 1 year old, or even seen the traces of deciduous teeth eruption, it is necessary to see a doctor to determine whether it is nutritional deficiency or congenital deciduous tooth loss.
Generally speaking, mothers can calculate the number of teething in their children according to this formula:
Number of tusks = (age -6) ~ (age -4);
For example, if the child is 8 months old, the number of long deciduous teeth should be 2-4; for 1-year-old babies, the number of teeth should be 6-8...
All in all, if the baby has not grown the first deciduous teeth after the age of 1, parents will have to take the child to the doctor.
In addition, the order of the child's teething, parents should also have some understanding. Wen Wen's father had observed the order of his daughter's teething, first the two front teeth below, then the two front teeth that grew above, and then the other teeth.
Later, when I took my daughter to see her teeth, I asked questions about the order of teething, and the answer was that the order of the child's teeth eruption followed two principles: one was "first down and then up"; the other was "front teeth first".
The specific order of eruption of deciduous teeth, mothers can refer to the following schedule.
Write to the end:
Babies teeth early and late, in general, the baby will have all the deciduous teeth before the age of 2 and a half.
Wen Wen Dad would like to remind everyone here that when the child germinates the first deciduous teeth, it is necessary to start brushing the teeth; before the deciduous teeth have grown, parents can also use sterile gauze or wash their fingers to gently wipe the baby's gums, which can not only play a role in cleaning, but also alleviate the discomfort of the baby's gums.
