The emergence of a baby's first tooth will make parents happy for a long time, which means that the baby's development has entered another stage and can help them chew food. It is also a signal to add complementary foods. Long teeth are a manifestation of a baby's growth. Since the birth of a baby, parents have been eagerly anticipating it. So, how long does it take for a baby to have their first tooth?
A baby's first tooth usually appears around four to seven months old, with some timing depending on genetics and developmental speed. Some babies grow teeth slowly and don't actually need any special assistance. As long as they strengthen their nutrition, supplement calcium, and expose their babies to more sunlight, they can naturally wait for their baby teeth to emerge. How should babies take care of their teething?
1. When babies grow baby teeth, they naturally do not feel pain, but it can also cause discomfort in the mouth and make them feel a bit irritable. At this point, the mother can try rubbing gauze in the baby's mouth, which may make the baby feel comfortable and alleviate some discomfort symptoms. If you have a fever after teething, it may be caused by other reasons and you need to go to the hospital for a check-up.
2. Give your baby some milk between meals, but do not drink beverages as they contain too much sugar, otherwise it will harm the baby. After the baby's teeth come out, it's time to help them brush their teeth, especially at night. You can buy a baby specific toothbrush and gently brush them, but don't swallow the toothpaste.
