But many parents don't realize that it is a part of the children of learning process to know the world and overcome the gum irritation because the growth of teeth.
Put the objects in the mouth can certainly increase the risk of infection, but do you know that this natural habit of children is very important because it can indirectly help their bodies to body shape resistance.
Research has shown that children raised in a too clean environment are easier to experience of asthma, allergies and fever (caused by an infection).
It causes the children to be weak or too sensitive when exposed to the environment - which "too clean step" that place, where they were raised.
Used to put an object in the mouth can extend until the children over the age of two years of age. This age is regarded as the most important, because the resistance of the body of the child is still low and they enter the most risky group if the infection occurs. For this reason they need help to increase the strength of their bodies.
There are several ways to contribute to the resistance of body shape of a child, which are:
Give birth normally - during the passage through the birth canal, a baby is exposed with various types of bacteria and the baby's body to form antibodies to the bacteria. Research on the faeces of baby born by surgery revealed that it contains less compared to baby born normally bacteria. It is a sign that babies born by surgery have lower antibody.
Give breast milk exclusively at least six months. -Breast milk contains good bacteria called Lactobacillus which is important for the digestion of the small system.
This bacterium lives in the intestine and becomes among children of infection of diarrhea and middle ear. Children who did not have milk are five times more risky for the infection of the middle ear.
Much research found that incidents of diarrhoea in infants and children feeding at breast milk are lower compared to children who drink milk formulated.
In around the world, diarrhea is the main cause of children were admitted to hospital who can bring to death because the water of deprivation. This is why today more formulated milk are enriched with Lactobacillus to give better protection to small children.

Women are recommended practical food habits during pregnancy and after childbirth for the milk quality.
Research on the content of the alpha hydroxy (AHA) acid and Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA on three different races, different schemes of practice) has concluded that the level of DHA is higher in the milk of women who eat healthy foods.
Vaccinations - as parents, make your responsibility for your child by providing a small for vaccinations which are given free of charge in public hospitals or clinics.
