Teething Symptoms are a hard time for parents and baby, we want to help you through it.
Teething symptoms are one of the most dreaded times of an infants development. When teeth begin to break through your child’s gums, nasty teething symptoms set
in and a whole new baby takes over your sweet little angel. Teething symptoms cause your once sweet baby to haveThe sweetness in your child takes a turn for the worse as your baby experiences the teething symptoms of trouble sleeping, crankiness, pain in their gums, drools and chews on everything in site.
The most painful thing of it all is seeing your child go through it! Teething symptoms usually start around your child’s 6 month of life. However, it is normal for your child to show teething symptoms anytime between 3 months and 12 months of age. You will find that teeth usually break through in a certain order. The lower front teeth usually erupt first, then the upper front teeth a couple of months later. After that, expect 4 new teeth every 4 months until complete (usually 2 ½ years).
You will find that your child will develop several teething symptoms. One teething symptom is crankiness. Children become cranky because their gums are sore, swollen and tender. You will see that this teething symptom will occur anywhere from 3 to 5 days after the tooth appears.
Another common teething symptom is drooling. You will think you left the “drool faucet” on inside your baby’s mouth. This teething symptom can causes rashes since drool and sensitive skin do not mix well. You can expect a red, raised, irritating rash around your baby’s lip and chin.
Other common teething symptoms include chewing on just about everything in site, fever,
diarrhea, night waking, and refusing to eat. If your child has a fever, it should be low-grade (100.4° to 102°). All of these teething symptoms are sure to break your heart, but there are a few things that can help ease their pain.
To help your child get through these heart wrenching symptoms, acetaminophen can be given in accordance to your child’s age. Also, teething gels are a great way to numb the area. However, be careful when using them; they taste horrible and excessive use can cause your baby to swallow too much. One of the best, safe and fast acting remedies available is teething tablets. You can also try anything cold to help ease teething symptoms. From frozen teething rings to frozen washcloths, cold items give them relief. If your child has a rash, keep it clean and use a cream (lanolin works great) on the affected area.
