Question
Can a four-month-old child use teething biscuits?
Answer
According to your description, your child may not have reached the age for tooth eruption yet. Typically, infants start to grow milk teeth around six months old, and this process continues until the child is about two and a half years old. Current scientific research suggests that a baby’s habit of sucking their fingers may be a normal manifestation of jawbone development and not necessarily a bad thing; it should be guided appropriately. At the same time, providing the child with many rough and tough foods can promote jawbone development.
