Baby Teeth Tips

January 7th, 2009

bebeteethMany people fail to see the problems with teeth in infants that develop when they keep on chewing the nipples of their baby bottles, often causing their front teeth to separate leaving a gap. This gap gets bigger and as they progress to sippy cups, it gets worse. Limit the use of these products to feeding being sure to take them away to avoid unnecessary teeth problems. Brush your baby’s teeth at least once a day to remove the white film on the tongue and to soothe the gums specially when they are teething.
Baby tooth brushes are available in baby supply stores and look like large nipples without the rim and with soft silicone bristles on one side(Best be careful with this task for a teething baby with some teeth will bite hard as you do this!!). Baby’s going nuts when teething, throw that teether in the fridge to cool it(not freeze!) and give it to the erring baby to soothe those itchy gums and lessen the pain. It also gives them something new to play with that is different form the rest due to the cold teething aid.
