Teething

Teething – When baby cuts his or her first tooth, the elation in both parents is somewhat an indescribable feeling. However even though a joyous “moment” and one to be remembered, there are moments you would like to forget. Prior to the breaking of the gum the amount of times mom and dad may have had to pace the floor trying to console there little one to soothe the pain of a teething   infant, are the ‘I want to forget’ times I refer too.

Got toothache why put up with it? when you can Rid the agony in 12 hours  and be pain free now.

We all know teething can be a difficult time for both parents and babies, most babies start the teething process between six to nine months of age, but it can vary with each child. A baby’s first teeth are known as milk teeth.

Sometimes few babies sail through the teething process with few symptoms or problems. However, sadly some not so fortunate, and suffer considerably from the usual teething problems. Expected discomforts normally derive from aching gums caused by swelling, and pains which can lead to further complications such as earache caused by the pain from teeth cutting through the gum.

Typical symptoms of teething include:

1. Some symptoms include redness of the cheeks and gums
2. Dribbling lots
3. Pain in the ear on the side the new tooth is coming through
4. Needing to chew away at anything and everything to help soothe the pain

A primary nibbling tool baby loves to slobber over is its fist. If baby is prone to scratching his or her skin and is, wearing gloves /scratch mittens due to the chewing of fists be careful there are no loose materials or cotton that could choke a child.

First time moms are not to panic because there are various things you can do, to help soothe the pain of teething and which I have used with my children that I would like to share with you, which are listed below

1. Soothing gel is a specially formulated medication created solely for this  purpose which temporarily helps ease the teething pains, however, only use after the age of four months and use as directed by your GP.

2. Teething rings chilled or frozen are fabulous for soothing and are great in helping with inflamed gums. What I found most helpful at this fretful time was if a teething ring is not available was to use a chilled carrot to help with teething pain. Baby should never be left alone at any time no matter what it is they suck, or chew on, so always ensure an adult is watching due to choking hazards.

3. Rusk’ s are ok but always make sure they are the sugar free kind as sugar or other types of sweet substances are not good for any kiddies’ teeth.

Teething is not a pleasant time for both mother and baby, and particularly more so for the little mite when his/her back teeth known as the molars start to come through. These are the biggest and maybe the most painful ones to cut, and the teeth used for chewing. Most of what you have read here will apply to most newborns and upwards, yes you heard right, it has been known for babies to be born with teeth.

All babies differ, which might include the time they walk and talk or whatever, so some suggested treatments and solutions above may not be ideal for child due to several factors. I cannot express enough…no matter how minor the problem linked to your baby’s health is, if it concerns you then see a doctor right away. Never leave anything to chance because after all you are the infant’s protector so do what protective humans do, and protect, since baby is helpless to this for him or herself.
