Question
What are the signs of teething in newborns?
Answer
During the teething process, infants may experience discomforts such as restlessness, sleep disturbances, drooling, biting, finger-sucking, brushing teeth, Shake your head, and Shake your head. Sometimes the gums may be painful, leading to low-grade fever and causing the child to cry endlessly. At this time, mothers should pay more attention to their tender loving care. Hold the baby more often, breastfeed more frequently, comfort them more, and say ‘good’ to them more often to provide some comfort. Avoid allowing the child to bite on hard objects to prevent gum bleeding. Then gently massage the gums with clean fingers to alleviate pain. When drooling occurs, provide a ’neck wrap’ for the child to protect the neck. Use soft, absorbent towels to gently wipe the corners of the mouth, cheeks, and chin to prevent redness and wrinkles.
