First stage of baby teething

First, you will see redness and swelling of the gums, then their loosening. The gums become painful, sometimes bleed, the baby saliva flows.

Problems when the first tooth appears

When the tooth passes through the gum, it irritates and a lot of saliva is released. Saliva flows into the nasopharynx, the nasal mucosa responds by secretion. A runny nose appears in the form of mucus that flows from the nose, nasal congestion is not observed. And they can respond to bronchial irritation - and then a cough appears, intensifying when the baby is placed on his back.

It would appear that what is common between diarrhea (loose) and teething? So much saliva is concealed that, getting into the digestive tract, it makes the stool more fluid.

Therefore, they often require breasts. For others, the pain of sucking is so intense that they may refuse to eat at all.
