Travel Baby

There is no fixed time for your baby to start teething, however on average the process tarts usually between the ages of week 20 and 6 months. The time at which you start to teeth is thought to be hereditary – so if dad and mum started to teeth early there is every change that you baby will. (Time to ask granny or granddad if they remember).

Teething symptoms?

Drooling or dribbling is usually the first sigh that the teeth are starting to grow. This process can start as early as ten weeks. Try to keep the skin around the month as dry as possible because the drooling can cause skin rash or chapping of the skin around the mouth area. If a rash or chipping does occur then apply a mild skin cream should help.

Biting is another symptom of teething. The child may start biting on anything they can get there months near – which can include there fingers. Chewing on hard objects can help relive the pressure. Child teething rings can help or maybe you could use a piece of carrot or use one of the many teething gels that are available.

Ear pulling or cheek rubbing are also systems of teething. This is because the pain can travel along the never paths that lead to the check area. This is especial common when the molars start to come through.

Keeping baby’s teeth clean

Cleaning you babies teeth at such an early stage may seem unnecessary – however starting them at this early age sets a good precedent for oral hygiene. Cleaning the baby’s teeth with your finger (wrapped in soft cloth). The baby will then progress to a soft baby tooth brush. Always use toothpaste especially for babies.
