How To Give Your Baby Relief From Early teething Pain
There are many times when babies begin to have early teething problems for which you may need to find remedies and also learn how to prevent him from biting, as this is a condition that can prove to be very unsettling to the mother, especially one that is breastfeeding her child. Such a problem can often lead to the baby biting on the nipples which causes pain and can even make the nipples bleed and generally feel very sore.
Protect You From Biting Babies
When the baby is having early teething problems, you should spot when he is likely to bite, which normally takes place when he has finished with his feed. You may need to identify when the baby has almost finished with his feed and at that time insert your finger (the last one) into the mouth of the baby and gently pry it open to detach your nipples and make sure that the nipple itself is not pulled out which will only make it even more sore.
Having protected yourself from the biting of nipples that early teething can result in, it is also necessary to protect the baby and to give it some relief from sore gums for which you could provide him teething rings or toys on which to sink his teeth in. Make sure that such teething rings or toys do not contain liquids in them which could get into the baby’s mouth if he manages to puncture them with his small and developing teeth. To provide relief to the baby from early teething pain, you may also want to freeze the teething ring or toy before letting him suck on it, as the coldness of the ring/toy will also help provide relief from the pain.
There is another method you can apply to ease the baby’s early teething pain and that is through application of teething gels onto the sore gums. You may want to try out Dentinox as also Bonjela that are good teething gels suitable for numbing the gums, and it also makes the baby less prone to biting. There are also teething tablets that you can give to ease the pain, and once the child sucks on them, they will dissolve and ease early teething pain. Such tablets and gels can easily be procured from a pharmacy, or local drug store.
You may also want to help ease the early teething pain by giving your baby ice cream or some other cold treat so that he does not feel the urge to bite, and it will also relieve the soreness albeit only temporarily. In these simple ways, you can help your baby get over his early teething problems and also protect you from having sore and even bleeding nipples.
