Genes behind tooth development discovered


Genes that influence tooth development in the first year of life have been identified by British and Finnish researchers. They noted that teeth and other organs have common growth and development pathways during early development. As soon as your child's willing and able, encourage him to brush his own teeth.

THRUSH

Thrush is the term to describe an overgrowth of yeast in a baby's mouth. This yeast, called candida, normally lives within our mouth, intestines, and genital area.

Thrush is not passed from baby to baby. It is an overgrowth of your baby's own yeast. Wash toys that baby frequently chews on in hot, soapy water every day. Gentian violet has been used for many years to treat thrush. Apply Vaseline to baby's lips before using the gentian violet to avoid purple stains.

Symptoms of nipple yeast infection:

1. sore nipples

2. red nipples

3. itchy nipples, even when not feeding baby

4. puffy, dry, nipples

Because of the possible severity of chronic yeast infections in the breasts, we suggest mom's nipples be treated along with baby's treatment.
