Is your baby irritable when teething? What are the performances?

Common reactions to teething

1. Drooling: Around 3 or 4 months old, as the salivary glands develop, the baby’s drooling will increase significantly. The stimulation of teething will increase the secretion of saliva in babies. At the same time, the discomfort caused by teething makes the baby prefer to open his mouth and bite, and the saliva flow also increases significantly.

2. Biting: Babies who are teething may bite people (or things) whenever they see them. From their own hands to their mother’s nipples, as well as any toys they get, they will put them in their mouths and chew them. Take a bite. However, on the one hand, this kind of biting is used by babies to alleviate the discomfort of local gums when teething occurs. On the other hand, it is also a unique way for babies to understand the world. Mom doesn't have to stop her, just wash the toys.

3. Irritability: Teething babies often appear restless, biting their nipples fiercely when feeding, refusing to feed complementary foods with small spoons, and restless in their sleep at night. This may be because the baby's gums feel discomfort and pain when teething, and the nipple or feeding spoon touches the gums, making the baby feel even more uncomfortable. At the same time, due to these discomforts, the baby will appear more irritable, prone to losing temper, and even affect his sleep at night.

4. Mild fever: Some babies will have varying degrees of fever when their teeth erupt, especially when four teeth erupt together. However, as long as the body temperature does not exceed 38°C and the baby is in good spirits and has a good appetite, there is no need for special treatment. Just give the baby more water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C and is accompanied by irritability, crying, milk refusal, etc., the baby should be Seek medical attention promptly.

5. Rash on chin: Due to excessive drooling, the saliva soaks the baby's chin, which may cause local redness and rash. Mothers should often use a soft towel to gently wipe away the baby's saliva. Also, wash your baby's face with warm water twice a day and apply a mild moisturizer to moisturize the skin.

When a parent asks me why their child often wakes up at night and is irritable during this period, I not only find out whether the child has not supplemented with vitamin D, You will also find out if you are teething.

How do you know if your child has teeth? The following situations generally occur when children grow teeth

1. Drooling

Because children salivate more during teething, and we can even hear the sound of water coming from the child's mouth.

2. Drool rash

Many parents think that the drool rash is due to problems with milk powder and think that their children have eczema. In fact, it is because the child’s saliva is thicker when teeth are growing. There are many, and sensitive skin is more sensitive, so it will cause drool rash in children.

At this time, wash the child frequently with warm water. You can use some olive oil or tea seed oil to apply to the area where the child has drool rash.

3. Cough

If the baby has too much saliva and cannot flow it quickly, it may drip from the back door into the baby's throat, causing coughing or even vomiting

4. Diarrhea

Frequent drooling or chewing on things, many of which are not clean, will cause gastrointestinal discomfort in children. During teething, if the stool is relatively loose, the loose stool may also cause mild symptoms in the child. Diaper rash

If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can use ibuprofen or acetaminophen to reduce the fever.

6. Love to bite things

If the teeth are uncomfortable, the child will bite whatever he sees. Sometimes he bites his hand, sometimes he bites his mother, sometimes he bites the spoon, and sometimes he bites his hand. I bite the table sometimes, and I bite whatever I see.

It is recommended that parents put sterilized spoons, newly bought bread, and teething sticks in the refrigerator to freeze, and then give them to their children after freezing. These cold tastes are good Give your child's mouth some relief. You can even give your children some homemade popsicles, which can be of great help in alleviating the discomfort and irritability of their teeth.

In the above six situations, parents can put their clean fingers into the child's mouth and feel for the harder teeth that have just emerged.

Teething occurs at different times for every child. Usually, teeth erupt as early as about 4 months, and as late as 10 months to one year old. Generally, teeth erupt in children at six or seven months. If your child still hasn't ejaculated after one year of age, you should see a doctor to diagnose whether it is caused by other reasons.

The reason why babies who have just teethed are irritable is because they often feel itchy gums. Therefore, they like to chew on their fingers or toys, because the process of chewing can relieve the itching pain when teeth erupt. , of course, children's saliva will also increase, which is also caused by gum problems. Parents should pay attention to giving their children more water.

If you find that your child's gums are congested or even swollen, do not deal with it yourself. It is best to seek medical attention to avoid oral infection.

When a child is teething, parents can prepare some teething sticks or hard carrot sticks suitable for holding for the child to grind his teeth. This stage is also the time for him to add complementary foods, but the complementary foods should be introduced gradually and not too carefully. Give your child less sweets and cakes that contain high sugar content, because they will provide nutrients for bacterial growth and cause dental caries.

Parents need to pay attention to their children’s oral hygiene as soon as their children’s teeth begin to erupt. After each breastfeeding or feeding, you need to give a few mouthfuls of warm water to help your child flush food residue from his mouth. In addition, it is best to develop the habit of scrubbing the child's gums and small teeth. You can use sterilized gauze or a special toothbrush cover for babies. One is to help the child clean the teeth, and the other is to help the child massage the gums to relieve discomfort.

When we see our baby’s teeth growing, we should all be very happy. Babies who have just sprouted some teeth look particularly cute when they smile. However, for babies, teething is not so happy because teething can be very uncomfortable.

There is a kind of pain called "teething pain" in babies.

Most babies begin to erupt at the age of 6 months. When the deciduous teeth erupt, the gum tissue will be slightly swollen and irritated. If parents observe carefully, the gums will become red where the teeth come out. The baby teeth will burst through the gums and expose their heads, which will inevitably cause swelling and pain.

This kind of dull pain occurs from time to time. The baby cannot express it in words, and it will become irritable and restless, and its temperament will change drastically. The usually well-behaved baby suddenly becomes anxious. What symptoms will a baby experience when teething?

1. Drooling

Teething babies will drool, and there is a lot of saliva. When my baby is teething, he wears a saliva towel every two seconds. It needs to be replaced every hour, and I often drool all over my neck.

Babies who drool a lot need to pay attention to preventing drool rash. Parents should often use paper towels to help their babies dry their drool, and at the same time, they should often apply cream to their chins.

2. Biting the mother’s nipples, pacifiers, and hands

Since the baby’s gums are uncomfortable, they need to grind and bite things to relieve it. The most “unlucky” thing may be the mother’s nipples. Sometimes, the baby suddenly bites her, or she keeps sucking on her, causing her nipples to become red and swollen.

Some babies will eat from their hands more frequently and use their fingers to grind their teeth.

3. Frequent waking at night

Teething babies generally wake up frequently at night because they are more likely to feel pain at night. Some babies will wake up five or six times a night. Next time, I look for milk to eat, put my nipple in my mouth and suck for two mouthfuls before continuing to sleep.

4. Fever

Some babies may have gum inflammation and fever due to teething. In this case, it is best to consult a doctor, because there are many causes of fever, and you cannot Simply put it down to teething.

5. Irritability and bad temper

It is really hard for a baby to erupt 20 deciduous teeth, and the baby cannot express it in words, and adults cannot replace the child. Bearing the pain of teething, it is understandable that children will inevitably become irritable and lose their temper.

How to deal with baby teething

1. Prepare some saliva wipes and replace them in time. If you don’t use saliva wipes, your baby’s clothes and chest will soon become wet. If it's summer, you wear less and the clothes are easier to clean, but in winter it's not so convenient.

2. Gently dip the saliva around the baby's chin in time to prevent saliva rash. Do not wipe back and forth, as it may scratch the baby's skin.

3. To provide your baby with safe and clean teethers, be sure to choose a brand with acceptable quality. After all, it is what babies put in their mouths to chew on every day.

4. When the baby’s first tooth erupts, adults should start brushing the baby’s teeth. At the beginning, you can use tooth cleaning gloves or gauze, and use fluoride toothpaste to prevent dental caries and cultivate brushing skills. Good habits.

My second baby is now 7 months old, which is the time for teething. Now the two lower teeth have sprouted.

Let’s talk about my baby’s performance at this stage:

First of all, when the second baby was six or seven months old, he liked to chew things and wanted to pick up and eat whatever he saw. Many people say their gums are itchy. I bought him teether and let him chew on it. At the same time, I cleaned and disinfected everything he wanted to chew on in advance. I also wiped off the things that couldn't be cleaned with wet wipes.

Secondly, sometimes it bites when feeding, but not often. When this happened, I didn't scold him severely, because every time he bit someone, he looked into my eyes and observed my reaction. I felt that he was just testing his bite strength.

Third, drooling. My second child doesn't drool very much, but he drools a lot every time he chews something. When he sees something he is interested in and wants to chew, he will be very excited and go to get it, and at the same time he will smash it with his mouth.

Fourth, he will involuntarily bite his lower lip with his newly emerged lower teeth, while his upper lip wraps his lower lip, which looks particularly cute. I think he is curious about the new teeth and feels that there is something extra in his mouth. He is experiencing and feeling the teeth.

Fifth, he will use his newly emerged lower teeth to bite things, such as bottle caps or fruits given to him. He began to know how to use his teeth to gain strength.

The above are the symptoms of my second baby’s teething. Every child is different, and their performance may be different. As long as the mother observes carefully, she will still find different performance states of their teething and non-teething.

Teething is a slow process. When babies teeth, they are also slowly accepting and adapting to it. They are also learning how to use the extra teeth in their mouths. So there will be some emotional and behavioral manifestations. Mothers should observe carefully, guide patiently, and at the same time protect their baby teeth.

It is very normal for babies to be emotionally restless when teething. This is caused by the pain and discomfort caused by teething. Due to the lack of perfect expression ability, they will be expressed through emotions.

If you find that your baby screams and cries after being held for a while, and starts to laugh again as soon as you hold him, with large and intense mood swings, you can check to see if teeth have emerged in the mouth. tip.

In fact, in addition to being irritable, there are many other symptoms of teething in babies. Mothers who have such doubts can check it out. What are the symptoms of baby teething?

1) Sleeping poorly and waking up frequently at night

Even "angel babies" who were easy to coax before will start to give mothers headaches when teething begins.

Especially when you are about to go to bed at night, it will become particularly difficult to coax you. You will always be noisy and unwilling to sleep. You will finally be coaxed to sleep, but you will wake up again soon. This happens frequently, most of the time. Just teething.

2) Like to chew things

Due to discomfort, babies in the teething stage will like to bite things to relieve themselves. When they see toys, they will put them in their mouths. Rise may bite you unexpectedly.

In short, the baby's mouth is not idle at this stage. Parents should understand and help the baby spend this important teething period together.

3) Diarrhea and red buttocks

Prolonged diarrhea during the teething period is likely to lead to the phenomenon of red buttocks. Maybe after changing diapers one second, "red buttocks" will appear again the next second. "Puff" sound was heard.

It should be noted that the stool during the teething period smells slightly different from usual, has a sour smell, is relatively thin, and the speed often catches people off guard.

4) Inexplicable fever

This happens very suddenly, but usually it is just a low fever, not exceeding 38.5℃.

Moreover, the fever comes and goes quickly. It does not affect eating, drinking and having fun at all, and my mental state is still good.

In this situation, the mother does not need to panic, she just needs to give her baby more breast milk or water.

5) Excessive saliva secretion

Along with the long process of teething, the "little problem" of drooling in children will also last for a long time, and the whole It was wet all day, so the child himself was feeling quite uncomfortable.

Due to prolonged drooling, rashes may appear on the cheeks and corners of the mouth. Parents can apply some facial cream appropriately for care. How to properly care for your baby during teething?

1) Help massage the gums

After parents clean their hands, they can use their fingers to gently massage the baby's red and swollen gums due to teething, which can relieve pain to a certain extent.

2) The softness and hardness of food need to be changed.

Babies at this stage usually have little appetite. Parents can prepare some cooler and softer food, which may have better effects.

3) Prepare "gnawing utensils" for babies

Babies during the teething period like to chew on hard things. To prevent bacterial infections caused by babies biting things randomly, parents should prepare them in advance. A good "gnawing tool" for babies.

For example, tooth-fixing devices, edible carrots, apples or chewing sticks, teething gel, etc. Of course, babies are prone to swallowing accidents at this time, so parents should pay attention to storing coins, button batteries, peanuts and other small items at home.

4) The sense of security of careful care

Since the baby is emotionally uneasy at this time, parents should give the baby a sense of security and let the baby feel Emotional comfort and warmth will relieve a lot of psychological stress. What is suitable for babies to eat at different stages of teething?

?2 tooth stage: semi-solid foods such as mashed potatoes, egg yolk mashed and oatmeal, or slightly thick paste-like complementary foods.

?Four teeth stage: Due to the baby’s higher nutritional needs, you can provide food such as pureed meat, minced meat or tofu.

?6-8 teeth stage: You can give your baby soft rice, bread, meat slices and other solid foods.

?12-20 tooth stage: Since the teeth are almost straight and the baby has the ability to swallow food on its own, it can be fed ordinary soft food such as rice and noodles.

?Permanent tooth eruption period: Add celery, corn, apples and other foods.

All in all, although the development and growth of baby teeth brings a lot of trouble to babies and parents, it is also a testimony of growth. You can deal with it with a correct attitude. La~

Babies will indeed be more irritable during the teething period than before. In addition, they will also show other physiological reactions.

Generally, babies start teething between 4 and 6 months old. During the teething period, various discomforts may occur, such as itchy gums, drooling, scratching and biting, or incessant crying. During this period, parents should comfort them and take good oral care to keep their babies' teeth neat and tidy.

1. When does the baby’s teeth start to erupt? What is the teething cycle like?

According to the different physiques of different babies, there are great individual differences in the time of tooth eruption. Generally, it is normal for teeth to erupt within 1 year of age.

However, after reaching 1 year old, the first deciduous tooth has not yet grown, which is called late eruption of deciduous teeth. This is a pathological phenomenon, often caused by rickets or other reasons, and you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

If a 1-and-a-half-year-old baby still has no teeth, it is recommended that parents take the baby to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, especially a thyroid function examination, so as not to affect the baby's future growth and development.

There are roughly 5 stages of baby teething:

4~8 months - 2 teeth emerge< /p>

8~12 months – 2~4 teeth appear

9~13 months – 6~8 teeth appear

13 months~ 1 year and 7 months - 8 to 12 teeth

1 year and 4 months to 1 year and 8 months - 20 teeth

2. What are the unfavorable physiological reactions of babies when teething occur? How do parents take care of it?

1. Continuous drooling: Drooling is the most direct manifestation.

Reason: When the baby reaches the tooth eruption stage, the salivary glands are also developing at the same time. At this time, the trigeminal nerve will be stimulated reactively, thereby increasing saliva secretion. The baby's mouth is small, and he cannot swallow and regulate oral saliva. , so the "saliva" accumulated in the mouth will naturally overflow, and we say "slobber".

Care: Use a clean saliva wipe to wipe the baby, preferably with clean saliva, to prevent the baby's lips and mandible skin from being continuously stimulated by saliva and causing dermatitis. At the same time, wear a soft cotton scarf for your child to prevent drool from getting the clothes wet. In addition, apply an appropriate amount of moisturizer around the child's mouth to reduce the irritation caused by saliva to the skin.

2. Itchy gums accompanied by swelling: Itchy gums and even swelling are the main physiological reactions during teething.

Reason: As the baby’s tooth eruption arrives, it will bring certain stimulation to the baby’s dental pulp nerve, and the gums will inevitably feel uncomfortable. The main manifestations are gum itching, even swelling and discomfort. In order to relieve this, the baby Instinctively, they like to bite random things, such as biting their mother’s nipples and biting toys.

Care: Parents should carefully observe the baby's teething situation and find that the baby's gums are somewhat red and swollen. Dip an appropriate amount of ice water with gauze and gently wipe the swollen gums to relieve the baby's discomfort. Nowadays, you can also buy special molar sticks or teethers for infants and young children to stimulate the baby's dental pulp and help the teeth to erupt smoothly.

3. Restlessness and loss of appetite:

Reason: When the baby’s tooth tip is about to emerge and is getting closer to the top of the gums, the gums may be inflamed (not infected) inflammatory response) will also become more severe. Due to the continued pain and discomfort, the baby becomes irritable and restless, accompanied by symptoms of poor breastfeeding and restless sleep.

Nursing: At this time, parents should not get angry, but use distraction methods to comfort them. You can give your baby teething sticks, listen to music, tell stories, read picture books, play intellectual games, etc. to divert your baby's attention. In addition, when teething, you can try massaging around the baby's mouth with your fingers to relax muscles and relieve mental tension. If the baby continues to be irritable, refuses to eat, and has obvious local swelling, he should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.

4. Low fever: (an isolated phenomenon, don’t be nervous)

Reason: When the deciduous teeth “break out” , here the cusps of deciduous teeth pass through the gums, which will inevitably damage the local skin and mucous membranes. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. The baby may cause a teething "immune reaction" - fever.

Parents, please remember that not all babies are like this. It occurs based on individual constitution. This kind of fever is a kind of protection for the baby's body. Of course, in some cases, gum inflammation and fever are caused by poor oral care.

Care: On the basis of good oral care, let the baby drink more water, rinse the mouth after adding complementary food, so that the baby can develop it from an early age Oral hygiene habits. Fever caused by teething is mostly low-grade fever, usually within 37.5~38℃. Parents don’t need to worry too much. Just drink more water and cool down physically. Don't take fever-reducing medicine. If the fever persists or the body temperature continues to exceed 38.5°C, combined with local gum swelling and the baby being irritable, seek medical attention in time.

In short: the process of baby tooth eruption takes about from 6 months to 2 years old. During this process, the baby will have menstrual period reactions, which are normal. Parents should observe carefully and strengthen oral hygiene. Care and comfort to successfully get through the physiological response of the teething period.

What are the symptoms of teething babies?

1. Frequent drooling

Pay attention to whether the baby drools frequently or the corners of the baby's mouth are always particularly moist. This is a clear sign that your baby is about to teeth.

2. Swollen gums

Gently open the baby's lips and check his gums. If you see swelling in your gums, especially around the molars, there may also be fluid production. Don’t worry, this is normal teething.

When you feel that your baby's gums have hard spots, you can massage the gums to help your baby teeth and relieve the pain of teething.

3. Chewing toys or other things

Before the first teeth appear, many babies especially like to bite or suck toys, their own fingers or other things.

4. Low-grade fever

If the baby's cheek skin is pink or warm to the touch, it may be because the baby is teething. Teething is sometimes accompanied by low-grade fever, but you need to pay attention. Temperature that is too high may also indicate other diseases.

5. Irritability and excessive crying

In addition to the physical symptoms of teething, your baby may also show behavioral signs.

The most common ones are irritability and excessive crying, or a tendency to pull at the ears, which may be caused by the pain of teething. The irritability is especially serious at night because it is the most active time for tooth eruption.

6. Anorexia

Teething babies may often refuse to feed, because sucking the bottle will make his teeth more sensitive to pain.

If your baby has been eating solid food and suddenly starts to like milk again, it may be because using a spoon while eating food has irritated the baby's inflamed gums.

However, it is still necessary to add more complementary foods to the baby, because the collision of tableware with tableware will be very beneficial to his teething.

How to help babies relieve teething pain?

1. Massage your baby’s gums to relieve his discomfort. Gently rub your baby's gums with your fingers and press gently around the gums in a circular motion.

Wash and rinse your hands before massaging your baby's gums to prevent soap residue from being absorbed into your baby's mouth.

2. If you find that your baby has any signs of teething, especially drooling, avoid drool rash. Use a soft dry towel to dry the saliva, and then apply moisturizing cream to isolate the saliva irritation.

You can also use a towel to massage the gums, which not only relieves teething pain, but also helps your baby remove bacteria inside and outside the mouth.

3. Cool towel is one of the simplest and lowest-cost ways to relieve teething discomfort. Just soak it in water, then put it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, take it out, and let your baby chew it while holding the towel in his hand.

4. Teething rings, teething gums, teething biscuits... You can try different toys to comfort your teething baby.

Finally, I have to say that the first deciduous tooth of most babies will usually erupt around 4-6 months, and for babies who are later, it may be delayed to around 8 months.

This is all normal. If it doesn’t appear for a while, don’t worry too much!

Most babies’ first deciduous teeth will generally erupt around six months. For later babies, it may extend to around eight months. However, if the baby is over one year old or has not grown for a long time, , when the first deciduous tooth appears, the impact of systemic diseases should be considered.

So, what are the symptoms when a baby has its first deciduous tooth?

1. Sucking fingers and biting nipples. Babies in the teething period will like to bite things because of discomfort in their gums. Generally, they like to bite their mother’s nipples, pacifiers and their own fingers. This is due to the eruption of teeth. Stimulates gum congestion, edema, itchy gums and other discomforts in babies.

2. Increased saliva. During teething, the baby's saliva will increase significantly. At first, the baby's fluid glands are underdeveloped and the amount of saliva is small. By six or seven months, the amount of saliva increases, so he will often Drooling.

At this time, the mother should distract To keep your baby's attention, you can play with toys and do other happy things with him, and try to ignore uncomfortable feelings.

4. Pay attention to oral hygiene. You can use cotton cloth dipped in warm water to wipe the baby's gums and massage him gently. This not only cleans the mouth but also makes the baby feel comfortable. Brushing teeth should be done from a young age and improve awareness of cleanliness.

5. During the teething stage, the baby will salivate more. At this time, you can prepare some teething biscuits for the baby, which will not only change the phenomenon of the baby biting things randomly, but also help the baby Practice chewing skills.

6. Accompany the baby and help me open my teeth again. The body will feel very uncomfortable, and it is easy to become irritable and cry. At this time, parents should always stay with the baby and take care of it. Play games together, get close to nature together, and distract Bamboo's attention, which can effectively alleviate her physical discomfort.

Therefore, parents should reserve more parenting knowledge at this time to prevent The baby is in a hurry when he is unwell. How much do you know about the 8 uncomfortable symptoms of baby teething?

Babies’ “signs of teething” usually appear 1 to 2 months in advance. If not treated promptly and appropriately, these symptoms may be delayed. A little longer~

Sign 1: Drooling a lot

When the baby is teething, it will stimulate the gingival nerve, causing the secretion of salivary glands to increase, and the baby will drool. Some babies will secrete more, causing the skin around the mouth to become rough, chapped or even develop a rash under the constant stimulation of saliva.

From biting your own little hands, to biting your mother’s nipples, or even biting strangers’ fingers. He or she will bite anything that goes into her mouth to release the pressure inside her gums and make herself feel better.

If they are really unwilling to suck, they can drink from a cup or spoon instead. If your baby's refusal to eat is severe, take him to the doctor.

Sign 6: Diarrhea

Some babies will have diarrhea when teething. This is because when babies are teething, they will have too much saliva. Swallowing too much saliva can cause a slight loss of appetite or loose stools.

Sign 7: Fever

Teething in some babies is also accompanied by fever. In fact, fever is only a symptom, not a disease in itself. It represents the body's response to inflammation, which is a good sign. Infection, trauma, etc. can cause inflammatory reactions, and teething is a small trauma process.
