By now, you are enjoying
your baby’s smile. You can help your baby have a beautiful smile by taking care
of his mouth before he gets his baby teeth. Even though his baby teeth will
fall out, it is important to keep them healthy. Healthy baby teeth lead to
healthy permanent teeth.
Before you can even see
your baby’s teeth, they need care. Clean your baby’s mouth every day. Wipe it
out with a soft clean cloth. This will help remove germs and keep his mouth

strong attachment towards the mom. At this age, they are completely dependent
upon her for their needs, such as being fed or being put to bed. It is only

with their fathers.
Here are some of the factors responsible for the close bond that daughters
share with their fathers:
