Cross Baby

Cross Baby
The baby is cross and fretful.
Well, all right. So what? The baby
is also teething. SO the crossness
and fretfulness must be due to the
teething. Well. suppose the baby
is cross and fretful and it isn't
teething? What are these perfect
" natural reactions due to then?
/ would like to see the baby that
wasn't cross and fretful some Of
the time.
The baby drools all the time.
Isn't that terrible? It's because
the teeth are coming in. 1t is not
because of any such thing. 1t Is
because the salivary glands come
to full development just as the
teeth are coming in. That is when
they are needed-nature planned
it that way. The baby hasn't yet
learned to control its saliva, so it
drools. Some people never learn to
control it, even after they get a
full set of teeth, including the
back ones.
Then give It teething ring. So
It can chew on the hard ring. Isn't
that a swell idea! II your gums
were sore it would help a lot to
have a hard rubber ring to chew
on, wouldn't it?
These very sensible ideas were
suggested to me by a doctor far
more experienced in baby ham
ding than | am - DR.. Caldwell
Summers-and they strike me as
very sound.
Doctor Should Diagnose
The bugaboos Of teething may
stand in the way Of really finding
out what is the matter with a sick
baby. The baby is sick, and the
doctor is in a hurry. and somebody
says the baby is teething, so the
examination is over and every
thing is blamed on the teething.
The real trouble may be q urinary
infection, or ear infection, or
something in the throat, or need
of sunshine and a Encouragement
Of Diet; it may be ricketts, or tet-
any. But the "teething" legend is
accepted and more thorough ex-
animation is put of.
The dentition rash of the skin
often mentioned is, in the expert
ence of good children's specialists,
a myth. 1t may be due to too much
clothing, or improperly Numbered
clothing, or an irritating soap, or
just plain uncleanliness.
Rubbing the gums where the
tooth is erupting doesn't hasten
the eruption Of the tooth any more
than rubbing an egg will hasten
the Matching Of a chicken.
