Patient's question:
I met my wife through an introduction. At first, things were going well, and we eventually had a son. But later, we started arguing frequently, and eventually my wife went back to her parents' house. Her parents live far away, so I didn't go to pick her up. I took care of the child myself. Now he has teeth, and I don't want him to drink formula anymore. What kind of help do I need: Is it true that after getting teeth, he can start eating adult food?Doctor's answer:
After having a son, I often argued with my wife. In the end, I didn't go back to my parents' house and took care of the child myself. When the baby got teeth, I didn't want him to drink formula anymore. It's normal for babies to feel a bit uncomfortable when they are teething, so their appetite might increase a bit. During those days, you can feed the baby mainly on milk without adding any complementary foods. Once the baby's teeth have grown in, everything will return to normal. You can give the baby a teething ring or a teething toy to bite and press on the gums. Don't give him dinner or vegetables right away. Take it slow.
