Growing my Teeth
If your baby has the tendency of chewing everything and puts his finger in his mouth it is possible to have arrived in the period of life when the teeth start developing and growing. Known for many as teething this stage can be really painful for many babies. Dribbling and irritability without any obvious reason might be the simple symptoms of a new tooth. It is quite a difficult process if your baby is really sensitive to pain.
Luckily not all teeth hurt, but in the beginning of the process it is likely to experience a lack of comfort. The pain is normal to some extent as the new tooth causes movement in a jaw bone that is not already fully developed. This pain is soothed when the baby chews something. This is why you should provide a teething ring shaped toy. You have to follow the instructions for using it and to be of great care so that the ring is all the time clean. You would not want to have other infections in his body.
Using a soothing gel is good for the baby. This gel, like the one from CalGel, is useful as it numbs the area and for a couple of hours everything will be ok. It is recommended to apply the gel only after twenty minutes after the previous application. You do not want to intoxicate the baby, just to keep him feeling all right.
