Question
My premature baby is four months old and has developed white gums. I’m worried if this is normal and if it could become a more serious issue?
Answer
White gums in a four-month-old baby may be a normal sign that they are about to teethe. Many babies start teething at this age. It’s important to ensure your baby receives adequate nutrition, especially calcium supplementation, to prevent calcium deficiency. If you’re concerned or have any questions, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for professional advice.
