#asktheexpert I think my baby upper gum teeth is errupting though I can’t see it yet. She has stopped taking any solid food. I want to know how many days it takes for the teeth to come out of gum and by when she will start accepting food like before . She is 9 month old.

A. Hi yes during teething phase kids suffer from loss of appetite and they tend to reject food intake. you can gently massage the gum pad area with clean finger tip or moist cold cotton cloth 3-4 times a day to increase blood circulation and this will hasten the eruption process
