The eruption of baby teeth follows a physiological rule: a certain time of eruption, a certain order of growth, and symmetrical development of the left and right teeth. Generally speaking, baby’s baby teeth start to erupt at 6~7 months of age. But some babies will grow baby teeth 4 months after birth, and some babies are missing until 10 months after birth, which is normal.
The average normal baby starts to grow teeth at six months old, and at the rate of one more every month, about one year old (12 months) has six teeth. At about two and a half years of age, all twenty baby teeth will be in full growth. However, if your baby is one week old and has not yet developed any milk teeth, there may be some kind of abnormality in your body.
A. Reasons for baby’s late teething
The early and late teething of your baby is related to your baby’s own factors. Some babies are late in teething and start teething only when they are one year old. The teething cycle of babies is different, although the first tooth should come out at about 6 months of age, but in the case of milk teeth, the time gap between teething is considered normal within six months, and the reasonable gap between the eruption time of permanent teeth can even be extended to one year. Therefore, there is generally no need to worry too much, usually only the speed of teething time is different, and does not affect the function of the teeth. The reasons for late teething in babies in general are:
1, congenital genetics
The main reason for slow teething in babies comes from genetics, including family history, race, etc., and even gender can be different. According to most research reports, female babies will be teething a little earlier than male babies.
2.Afterlife environment
In addition to congenital genetic factors, the acquired environment may also indirectly cause slow teething. Take a premature baby, his teething time must first deduct the time of premature birth, so that the conclusion is more accurate. In the case of a premature baby born at 30 weeks of gestational age, the time of first teeth must be delayed by 10 weeks (usually 6-8 months after birth). In addition, where the birth weight of the baby is too light, it is also likely that the problem of slow teething.
3.Systemic diseases
Down’s syndrome, pituitary secretion abnormalities, ectodermal dysplasia syndrome, etc., may cause differences in the baby’s teething speed, and blood tests must be taken to determine the true cause.
4.Trauma and infection
If the baby’s milk teeth appear to be of different heights, it is likely that the teeth have been impacted by external forces, resulting in the necrosis of the ligaments connected to the teeth and replaced by new bone (bone adhesions), which appears to be a slow growth of a certain tooth, but actually affects the eruption of permanent teeth. If a baby loses his or her baby teeth early, connective tissue will form on the surface of the gums, and once the permanent teeth have not grown sufficiently, they will be compressed, resulting in slower eruption of the permanent teeth. In addition, sometimes the baby’s medication will make the gums thicken, the teeth are not easy to emerge, but also let the mother produce a slow teething misunderstanding.
Second, baby teething fever how to do
1, drink more plain water
Get up in the morning and drink plain water (because this can replenish the water lost at night, clean up the intestines, eliminate waste, wake up the digestive system and the overall function of recovery, clean mouth, etc.! Baby mothers, do not forget Oh!) The baby should drink milk after half an hour, and drink a few sips of water after drinking milk (in order to dilute the milk and clean the mouth).
2.Drink milk and eat supplementary food
Time should be regular and interval, 3 to 4 hours once, at night can be 4 to 6 hours, because the baby’s gastrointestinal delicate, incomplete development, need to fully empty and rest, to ensure the normal operation of digestion, absorption function. The first small amount of complementary food, when the appetite is better, easy to accept complementary food, because the amount of complementary food is small, not full, so then eat milk. At night, it is difficult to operate, so you only drink milk.
3, the middle time to drink plain water, squeeze homemade fresh juice mainly
Do not eat anything else, replenish sufficient water and microbiotics, to promote digestion, absorption function of the perfect, eliminate body waste and toxins. (Note that homemade juice must be sanitary, fresh, that is to do that drink, do not store, the formula has: carrot, apple, cucumber, pear, tomatoes, etc., first from little to much, with boiling water across the cup warm and then drink, conditional morning, afternoon once each, must ensure that once a day).
4, after the birth of the baby, mainly eat milk food
But as the baby grows up, only rely on breast milk can not meet all their nutritional needs, therefore, must be timely to add supplementary foods to provide the baby with the necessary nutrients for growth and development.
5.Breast-feeding baby
The mother should eat light food, do not eat seafood, do not eat too cold and too hot food, fruit should also have a choice, mainly flat, but also to drink more plain water. Pay attention to nipple hygiene, once the mammary glands are inflamed, to stop feeding breast milk.
6, artificial feeding of the baby
Due to nutritional deficiencies (no breast milk is good), will cause weak digestive system function, to keep an eye on the baby, adjust the amount of diet.
7.Help baby massage
After the baby falls asleep every night, the mother through the clothes, in the baby’s belly gently massage clockwise, from 10 times to a maximum of 30 times, favorable to the baby’s digestion and absorption of the intestines, to promote the perfect function. It is a very effective health exercise.
