As a parent you start seeing your baby girl refusing milk,

Is uncomfortable to the hilt,

Wants to put everything in her mouth, Crying inconsolably & with anger is seething,

You realise that she is probably teething.

Nothing to get worried about - but we need to be super careful.

Helping her through her discomfort has to be the thumb rule.

It's time to see the milky white teeth,

A few will pop up first but they'll be 20 indeed,

If she ain't drinking milk teeth are to blame,

Try offering her cold milk as opposed to milk from the flame,

Milk teeth toothpastes are available in plenty,

Pick up the most simple ones, nothing fancy,

WE need to clean their milk teeth newborns won't care,

Brushing using the rotations & motions will protect the milky pearls from wear & tear,

Take care of milk teeth, they help them in digestion,

Brushing milk teeth, make it an activity for em & a fun session.

Take your time when choosing a milk teeth toothpaste,

Remember that haste leads to a waste,

I was milk teeth toothpaste shopping the other day,

Saw brands with princesses brushing their drinking milk teeth to my dismay!

Do not fall for such gimmicks I pray,

READ everything on the toothpaste cover to take care of milk teeth - newborns DON'T have to have a say,

I picked one which said it had lots of olive oil & Vitamin A,

See what best suits your baby's drinking milk teeth, you have a million options to weigh.

Remember to use rice grain sized quantity of paste,

Use as much water as possible to rinse the face.

A soft bristled toothbrush IS the in thing for milk teeth in newborns,

That's what I bought my baby as I see nothing wrong,

It comes with an elastic grip,

Brings the drinking milk teeth well within reach.

Soft bristles also protect the gums from bleeding out,

All these add up to it actually taking care of milk teeth & newborn's mouth.

Drinking milk teeth can be protected by an almost 0 sugar intake,

Especially no sugar in the night or your baby will keep awake,

Give her only water in the night after she is 1 year old,

Continue giving her milk during the day, ya don't have to fold.

Sucking thumbs or pacifiers! You in the same dilema as me?

They sucking thumbs or using pacifiers, let them be.

I saw some ultrasounds with babies sucking their thumb in the womb,

This act calms them down, no need to fume,

After sometime they give up both habits,

They turn to their barbie dolls or bunny rabbits.

We need to shower them with all our love,

Patience is the key, they will be as peaceful as a dove.
