The article describes the basic tools that facilitate the process of eruption of the first teeth, including a review of medicines, and provides a list of some popular methods of helping infants.

The first year of a baby is the most difficult period in the life of his parents. We did not have time to rest from sleepless nights because of colic, and we are already given the first teeth to know about ourselves. In most cases, this event occurs between 4 and 8 months.

Each child is individual, respectively, the age of the appearance of milk teeth, the order and soreness with which they are cut will also differ for different children. But it is believed that these processes are laid down at the genetic level. Therefore, to find out, when and what to expect from the baby's first teeth, ask your parents how your dentition teeth have climbed.

INTERESTING: The baby is born with a full set of baby teeth, they just wait their time to cut through.

It is possible that happy parents will learn about the first tooth of their child when he smiles at them in the morning, or they accidentally hear a characteristic sound from a metal spoon that is in the mouth of the baby. In this case, the child will not show significant changes in behavior.

But more often the parents know about the intention of the tooth to erupt through the gums beforehand. The pain experienced by a baby with a chisel eruption can be unbearable and it does not cause him minor discomfort. Loss of appetite, bad sleep, moods and hysteria, indigestion and temperature are only part of the list of potential troubles associated with the appearance of teeth.

The natural desire of parents is to help the baby in all possible ways to survive this painful period.

How to anesthetize teething?

There are different pain relief options that can be grouped into 3 groups:

• special and "home" teasers
• medicines
• folk remedies

You can find in the shops a huge number of teethers from latex, silicone, rubber, plastic and even wood. In addition, teethers differ in shape, color and additional functions.

For example, some of them contain holes for ointments and gels, which allows the drug to go unnoticed to the baby's gums, some contain water or a special liquid for cooling in the refrigerator. A universal type of teethers that fits all babies does not exist. It all depends on the baby's preferences. There are children who do not recognize such devices at all.

Alternatively, for children who do not have a single tooth, it is possible to offer so-called "home" teethers: carrots, apples, dried bread, drying, etc.

Important: If the child is allergic, do not give it carrots, because it belongs to the group of allergen products.

You can also use your finger to massage the erupting gums.

The most common way to calm the pain in the gums is helping the kids cold. It can be a cold spoon, a cold apple sauce, a frozen drying or a banana, a cooling teaser, a cold cloth.
