OMG TEETHING BABIES!! Yes my daughter is still teething at 18 months of age!! She will go through good and bad stages though. Some teeth grow without causing any discomfort at all, you may notice these symptoms of teething:
- Sore, red gum around where the tooth is coming through
- Flushed cheeks
- Baby dribbling more, gnawing and chewing or fretful.
- Poor appetite
- Disturbed sleep
A rough guide to the different stages of teething:
- bottom front teeth (incisors) – these are the first to come through, at around five to seven months
- top front teeth (incisors) – these come through at around six to eight months
- top lateral incisors (either side of the top front teeth) – these come through at around nine to 11 months
- bottom lateral incisors (either side of the bottom front teeth) – these come through at around 10-12 months
- molars (back teeth) – these come through at around 12-16 months
- canines (towards the back of the mouth) – these come through at around 16-20 months
- second molars – these come through at around 20-30 months
Most children will have all of their milk teeth by the time they are two and a half years old.
So what is Vasambu?
Vasambu has got anti bacterial, anti flatulent properties that keeps the babies free from diseases. Each time the baby sucks on the vasambu pieces, a very small amount of the vasambu extract enters their stomach and this keeps them from getting stomach disorders and prevents colic. This teething bracelet also wards of insects! Vasambu bracelets can be easily made at home, if we follow the correct procedure.
Notes from Ramya Venkateshwaran :
- Usually the bracelet is worn after 10 days from the babies birth.
- The soaking part is very important, else you will not be able to pierce the sweet flag pieces.
- Choose bigger vasambu pieces for making this teething bracelet.
