Teething Process in Babies
Babies usually start teething when they are six months old, but in some babies this process may occur earlier or later.
Teething generally begins with a slight swelling and pain felt in the gums.
The first teeth are the lower front teeth (lower central incisors), but this order may differ for each baby.
Teething Symptoms
The teething process in babies comes with some symptoms.
Among these symptoms;
• swelling in the gums,
• redness,
• increased salivation,
• restlessness,
• loss of appetite,
• insomnia
• There is a mild fever.
This process may be a little painful for babies. If there is a lot of pain, you can use the pain reliever recommended by your doctor. You can give your baby teethers or cold objects to relax during this period.
To give an example for cold objects, you can first dip the teether or a clean piece of it in breast milk, tie a knot, and cool it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. Care should be taken to ensure that these objects are not excessively cold.
Some parents may also choose to use dental gel for teething babies, but it is important to consult your doctor before starting to use dental gel.
During this process, it is very important to pay special attention to the care of babies' gums and teeth. You can gently clean the gums with a cotton swab.
Since every baby is different, the teething process may differ for each baby. It is important to observe carefully to determine methods that will help your baby relax.
