This episode, I will be touching the basics of what you need to know when it comes to baby teeth bottles, binkies and breastfeeding.  Even though baby teeth are temporary, they're still important as they are susceptible to cavities and other dental issues. They also influence how the adult teeth will form, how your babies and your child's mouth and jaw will form as well, depending on how you use bottles and biggies and if you decide to nurse.

Your baby’s oral health is directly related to yours, that’s why making sure that you have regular dental checkups to check your mouth and the bacteria is an important step to avoid oral health related issues. In this podcast, we will be talking about very important things related to teething, bottle feeding and binkies.

Key Takeaways:

-Even before your newborn has teeth, it's important to take care of their mouth and establish good habits and routines.

-Teething can be painful for some kids.

-Biological factors affect how a baby latches when breastfeeding.

-Factors to consider when choosing to bottle feed.

 

Teething Tips:

-Keep your child hydrated

-Use a plant based product like Thera gel. An all natural,  non toxic, FDA approved, and drug free product to soothe teething issues

-Be careful with how much benzocaine you give your kid

-Never leave your child with the teething objects

-You can use the little finger gum massage to massage their gums

-Babies love throwing things in the ground. So just be careful when you give them that stuff where they are and where they're throwing it in the ground.
