Patient's question:
It only has 2 teeth. At six and a half months, we started introducing solid foods, and at nine months, we stopped breastfeeding and switched to formula + solid foods. The types of solid foods are quite varied: like vegetables, fruits, noodles, poultry and meat, eggs, and everything else. The appetite is also very large, and the nutrition should be sufficient. Now, it should not be lacking...Doctor's answer:
The emergence of teeth from non-existence to presence, the timing of teething, and the sequence of tooth eruption are all matters that parents are very concerned about, as they are indicators of a child's growth and development. In healthy infants, teething usually begins around six to seven months after birth. However, some children may start teething later, even delayed by 3–4 months, which is not considered abnormal. Some children may not get their first tooth until they are around 1 year old, but this is still within the normal range. Some parents become very anxious when they see their child has not teethered by eight or nine months, suspecting the child may be calcium-deficient and unable to grow teeth. As a result, some parents give their children fish liver oil and calcium powder, often in excessive amounts. This behavior is inappropriate and can harm the child's health. Teething timing alone cannot determine calcium deficiency. Even if delayed teething is caused by calcium deficiency, it is not advisable to supplement calcium blindly. It should be done under the guidance of a doctor.
