Teething at children: what should I do?

One of the reasons of crying of the small child – pain from the cutting-through teeth. Some kids easily endure this process, and others strongly suffer. If at your child the teeth grow very painfully, then it is worth finding a way to facilitate its state.

Massage of gums

During growth of teeth the gum of the kid strongly itches. The child pulls everything in a mouth and tries to gnaw. It is possible to perform massage of gums in different ways. First, it is possible to give to the baby crouton or drying. In this case it is necessary to watch closely that the child did not bite off a big piece and did not choke.

Secondly, on counters of children's shops the set of various teethers lies now. In most cases they are made of silicone of various density or similar materials and have a relief. Sometimes also soft toys which some parts are executed in the form of teethers meet (for example, handles at a hare can be specially intended for massage of gums of the kid). Some teethers are filled with liquid. Such it is possible to cool in the fridge or under a stream of cool water, and then to allow to gnaw to the kid. It is known that cold relieves pain. The teether has to be convenient for a small hand of the baby and it is easy to be located in his mouth (some models too thick or massive).

You should not allow the baby to gnaw a dummy or a pacifier from a bottle. They can easily be torn sharp children's teeth. In this case the pacifier or a dummy should be thrown out: in places of gaps, silicone and rubber begin to emit unsafe substances.
