Patient's question:
Is it normal for babies to get teeth at four or five months?Doctor's answer:
Hello, babies usually start teething around 4 to 6 months of age. It's normal for your baby to be teething now, as every baby is different. Some babies teeth faster, while others take longer. You can use teething sticks or teething biscuits to massage your baby's gums and promote teething. During teething, babies produce more saliva, so it's important for mothers to pay attention to their baby's oral hygiene. Babies need a lot of calcium during teething. If you are breastfeeding your baby, it's recommended that you eat more calcium-rich foods, such as shrimp skin, black sesame seeds, and soy products. If the weather is nice, you can take your baby out to get some sun to help with calcium absorption.
