Mommy & Baby: Teething & Weaning
Overview
Teething and weaning are two experiences that can make many parents anxious. Questions often arise, like what happens when my baby starts teething? How will they handle weaning from breastfeeding? Let’s explore both topics to help ease these concerns.
Teething
Teething is a natural part of a child's development, not a reason for worry. Think of it as a milestone for a healthy, growing baby. While most infants start teething between 6-8 months, it can vary significantly. Some might begin as early as 2 months or as late as 14 months. Pediatric dentists note that delayed teething often results in stronger, healthier teeth. Additionally, later teething usually means the primary teeth will fall out later, allowing for stronger permanent teeth.
Teething shouldn't impact breastfeeding unless your baby starts biting. If they do, remain calm. Gently remove them and say, “No, no!” calmly for more effective responses and less biting in the future.
During teething, some babies might be fussy, irritable, drool more, and even experience a slight fever. Giving them a dose of infant Tylenol, especially before bedtime, can provide relief.
Weaning
Weaning involves transitioning your child from breast milk by introducing food supplements. This gradual process begins when you offer a bottle of formula or introduce cereal.
When weaning from breastfeeding, it’s often easiest to start by eliminating the late-afternoon feeding. Each feeding you drop can be replaced with 6 to 8 ounces of formula or milk, depending on your baby's age.
Weaning from the bottle typically starts around your baby's first birthday. Transitioning to a sippy cup can be successful for many moms. Replace bottles one by one with sippy cups filled with milk. Be patient as your child learns to use the cup, and avoid causing unnecessary frustration.
By understanding these processes, you can confidently navigate these stages in your child’s development, ensuring a smoother experience for both you and your baby.
