Teething

Teething can happen from the 4th month till your baby’s 3rd birthday.And trust me,teething can be stressful for mother and baby!
Daddys and mummys;here are some tips on Do’s and Dont’s during teething period:
- Wipe baby’s face often with a cloth to remove the drool and prevent rashes from developing.
- Give your baby something to chew on. Make sure it’s big enough so that he or she can’t swallow it and that it can’t break into small pieces. A wet washcloth placed in the freezer for 30 minutes makes a handy teething aid - just be sure to wash it after each use. *Rubber teething rings are also good, but avoid the ones with liquid inside because they may break. If you use a teething ring, be sure to take it out of the freezer before it becomes rock hard - you don’t want to bruise those already swollen gums!
- Rub your baby’s gums with a clean finger.
- Never tie a teething ring around a baby’s neck, as it could get caught on something and strangle the baby.
- If your baby seems irritable, acetaminophen may help - but always consult your child’s doctor first. Never place an aspirin against the tooth, and don’t rub whiskey on your baby’s gums.
Have patience..:)
