Baby’s First Tooth - Put It in the Scrapbook!

If you thought baby could scream before, wait until they start teething. Some mothers use traditional teething rings with the liquid inside but I was always afraid that my son’s budding teeth would puncture the plastic. Frozen waffles work just as well and if baby bites down, there’s no harm done.

Baby can also spike a fever when teething. Children’s liquid pain reliever will bring it down fast and help with the teething pain. Baby will become fussier and crankier than usual at bedtime. The upside of the whole ordeal will be the sight of that pearly white tooth in baby’s mouth. Every cute little smile from that moment on will be dotted with a shiny tooth.

Baby Photo Ideas:

When you first feel an extra bump along baby’s gum line, start with the pictures. Entice baby to smile so that you can get a shot of baby’s entire gummy mouth.

Each week, take a new picture. This will be a slow process but you’ll have the benefit of catching every sparkly tooth coming in during baby’s first year of life.

Also, take pictures of baby chewing on a toothbrush.

Baby Scrapbooking Ideas:

Find stickers of giant teeth with smiling faces. Punch a half circle in the top of each tooth sticker. Affix them to the page around the edges of the page with the top of each tooth angled towards the center of the page.

Take a piece of string and paste it around the outside of the page to represent dental floss. Make sure that the string lies across each hole to resemble a necklace of teeth.

Use your silly quote stickers on the teeth to have the teeth congratulate baby on finally growing a tooth. Place baby’s pictures in the center of the floss necklace.

You’ll be able to find some adorable toothbrush stickers to put on this page, as well.
