If you are very concerned about your baby’s teething, consult your doctor. The following are some tips to help ease teething:
Dental health begins before the baby starts developing teeth. Before the teeth come in, make sure to wipe the gums with a wet cloth or gauze. And once the teeth start coming in, use a baby toothbrush and a tiny amount of fluoridated toothpaste. Once all the teeth have come in, try brushing them at least twice a day or after meals. If their teeth are touching, you can begin flossing, so that they develop the habit from a young age.
As you introduce solid foods, introduce them one at a time for a couple of days to a week. This
will allow you to notice any negative reactions to foods. As you feed your baby an assortment of foods, you will begin to learn which foods the baby likes and dislikes and your feeding relationship will grow.
