There are no people who are exactly similar to each other - even the most similar twins on closer examination differ, and especially all the others. This difference manifests itself from a very tender age: all people develop differently, according to their internal schedule, and the strict correspondence of the baby's development to any graphs and tables is more likely a coincidence than a pattern. Of course, there are certain medical standards that go beyond the scope of pathology, but this rarely happens. Do not worry if your baby does not know how to do something at a certain age - firstly, it is easy to fix with training and massage, and secondly, maybe he has such a program of his own, and after a while he can easily overtake their peers in development. Nevertheless, do not be shy to talk about it to the pediatrician - maybe he will advise an effective technique or prescribe developmental procedures, for example, massage or swimming pool.
One of the frequent subjects of concern and pride of many mothers is the first teeth in infants. Sometimes they appear very early - some even manage to be born with them, and thus give their mother a reason to brag about this fact to her friends for many years, and for some people sometimes are in no hurry to appear even after their first birthday. In some cases, this is due to a general developmental delay or lack of calcium, but most often it is just an innocent feature, and nothing more. Often, after the long-awaited appearance of the first tooth, the rest rush to catch up with the schedule and appear almost simultaneously. this can be very painful: it is known that the earlier the teeth erupt in children, the easier they tolerate it. If the teeth in children under one year old not only erupt that late, but also several pieces at a time - this is a serious test for both the baby and his parents.
Teeth in children under one year old often erupt with fever and very unpleasant sensations. Often, in order to reduce the suffering of the child, mothers use special cooling ointments - this is completely justified. Also, if teething is accompanied by fever and pain, it is justified to use antipyretic drugs, moreover, the temperature may not reach the recommended 38 degrees. Such a recommendation is given for infectious diseases so that the body has the opportunity to fight the causative agent of the disease, but there is no need for this, and the child suffers.
There are generally accepted norms for when and in what sequence teeth should appear in children up to a year old. It is believed that the first first incisors should be cut first in six months, then, after a month - the upper ones, the lower “deuces” will erupt until eleven months old, and the upper two will appear by the year. As a result, by the year the child should have eight teeth. But often nature decides differently and violates not only the timing of their appearance, but also the sequence, and sometimes the fangs suddenly erupt first, whose turn should come only in a year and a half. It all depends on heredity, and sometimes the features of very old ancestors come up.
What teeth in children under one year old have erupted, and in what quantity, often does not mean anything, however, it is worth paying the attention of a pediatrician: sometimes this can be due to neurological disorders or a lack of minerals. usually. such conditions manifest themselves in some other way: for example, in the case of a lag in development by the year it is already obvious not only in the teeth, but if the body lacks calcium, then the signs of rickets are also quite obvious. So, if the child does not have pronounced behavioral and physical abnormalities, but also has no teeth - most likely, this is just a variant of the norm, but still it does not interfere with reinsurance and conducting the necessary studies.
