Babies' first baby teeth usually erupt around 6 months, and subsequent babies may be delayed until around 8 months.
Teething brings more or less trouble to the baby, because the baby cannot speak, cannot communicate verbally, and can only vent his discomfort by crying.
If it is emotional irritability + loss of appetite + poor sleep + fever and diarrhea... These symptoms appear together, presumably mothers are like the end of the world, about to collapse!

So, how should babies with these symptoms be cared for? Don't worry, read the article below slowly!

1. Drooling
Causes and symptoms:
Teething stimulates the nerve endings on the gums, causing increased salivary gland secretion.
At this time, the baby cannot swallow independently, and the normally clean and refreshing baby may drool or spit frequently.
Notes:
Too much saliva can cause your baby's mouth and cheeks to turn red, a saliva rash and, in severe cases, cracking and peeling.
Care Methods:
Pay attention to the cleaning of the skin around the baby's mouth, wipe the saliva in time, and dry it directly with a soft cotton cloth/baby tissue or dipped in warm water.
When there is a lot of saliva, you can bring a bib or a slobber towel for your baby.
If the drooling area festers, it is best to take your baby to see a doctor. Clothes, pillows, bedding, etc. that are often soaked in saliva should be washed and dried frequently to prevent the growth of bacteria.
2. Gum pain
Causes and symptoms:
As baby teeth erupt, the gums may become red, swollen, or swollen from inflammation of the gums. When it touches the gums, there is a sharp, hard object, so the baby is most uncomfortable with the first teeth and molars.
Care Methods:
Mothers can use medical gauze dipped in ice water to wipe the swollen gums, and at the same time, they can achieve the dual effect of massaging and ice compressing the swollen gums.
3. Biting
Causes and symptoms:
Teething can cause itchy or sore gums. To relieve pressure in the gums, whatever your baby eats, put it in his mouth and bite hard.
For breastfed babies, mothers must know that if the baby frequently bites the mother's nipple, the mother will feel a tingling sensation, which is a sign of the baby's teething.
Notes:
Prevent the baby from biting his lips, avoid letting the baby bite hard objects and cause bleeding gums, pay attention to the cleaning of the entrance, disinfect the ones that can be disinfected, and wash the ones that cannot be disinfected.
Care:

Moms can prepare clean, cold gum or teething sticks to not only relieve gum discomfort, but also exercise their chewing skills.

4. Easy to cry
Causes and symptoms:
Baby is uncomfortable when teething. In addition to biting, they may become grumpy and cry, especially during the first two days of teething.
Notes:
It can also happen when you are sick, so keep an eye out for other symptoms.
Care Methods:
We can use gutta-percha or teething sticks to distract your baby and relieve gum discomfort when teething. You can also do a facial massage to relax your facial muscles.
Spend more time with your baby, hold your baby more, play games with your baby, take a walk, etc., to help your baby shift his attention.
5. Frequent night awakenings
Causes and symptoms:
Teething often interferes with sleep during the eruption of the first teeth and molars, and the pain may cause your baby to wake up suddenly during the night.
Care Methods:
If the baby wakes up in the middle of the night, sisters don't rush to coax or feed him to see if he can settle down on his own.
As long as he doesn't cry, you can let him sleep on his own. If crying is severe, massage your face to relax your baby's facial muscles, and you can put your baby back to sleep with hugs and pats.

Of course, we breastfeed in the same way if the baby wakes up at night because he needs a night's supply of breast milk.

6. Loss of appetite
Causes and symptoms:
Sucking can make gum pain worse, which can make your baby refuse food.
Care Methods:
If your baby's gums are swollen, give your baby some cool food.
Bottle-fed babies can be replaced with larger nipples
