Healthy Teeth For Children

When will my baby’s teeth appear?

From birth to 12 months

• Wipe your baby’s gums with a soft, clean, damp cloth twice a day.
• As soon as the first teeth appear, clean them at least once a day (usually at bedtime) with a soft bristle toothbrush designed for babies. Lay your baby on a flat surface or with his head cradled in your lap to brush teeth.
• Avoid leaving your baby in bed with a bottle.

Colic & Crying

Healthy babies cry. It’s the way they express their needs and communicate with the people around them. Most of the time, you respond with what your baby needs: by offering food, helping your baby sleep, changing a diaper, or just cuddling. Crying is important for babies because they depend on other people to meet all of their needs.

Attachment – A Connection For Life

Why is attachment important?

Attachment is the deep emotional bond between a baby and the person who provides most of his care. Just as most parents feel a strong connection with their newborn after birth, babies also become attached to their parents. Attachment takes place throughout a child’s development, but this document focuses on babies.
