Tooth Fairy, where are you?

Hi naem,

As with most developmental milestones, there is no standard for when teething will begin, how long it will last, or how painful it will be. A baby's first tooth usually comes in around the seventh month, although it can arrive as early as three months or as late as a year. Some common signs and symptoms of teething include:

Gigi Aiman dah tumbuh okey? Gigi bawah dah kuar sket, gigi atas tu malu2 lagi tapi dah nampak dah. Memang seminggu gak dia cranky. Demam sket n manje banyak!


Swelling - Swelling of the gum tissue is usually the first sign of impending tooth eruption.

Flushing or rash - Your child's cheek may appear flushed or develop a slight rash near where the tooth is erupting.

Swelling mcm takde, rash kat leher ada tapi sebab saya makan ayam kot hari tu hehe.


Drooling - Teething babies usually produce more saliva and drool excessively.

Memang air liur meleleh je setiap masa huhu.


Crankiness- Teething babies are often unusually cranky and irritable and may not sleep well.

Ye sangat cranky!

Try the following tips to help soothe teething pain:

Biting hard objects - Give your child hard objects such as teething rings, as these can ease some of the pain.

Cold - Frozen food such as a popsicle or frozen banana may also soothe your baby's gums during teething.

Numbing - There are several baby-safe teething gels available, such as Baby Orajel or Baby Ambesol, that you can apply directly to your baby's sore gums. However, some of these gels contain sugar so use them sparingly.

Baby ibuprofen - If your baby is going through a particularly painful phase, baby ibuprofen may help. As always, check with your pediatrician before giving any medication to your baby.

Bagi gak dia makan mainan dia tapi yang rasa selamat untuk masuk mulut la. Kalau ubat2 nih takyah kot. Lagipun macam dia nak bukak mulut untuk kita kan?
