Can you give a baby dentures?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) June 18th, 2015

Before they have their first teeth? So that they can eat solid foods earlier?

What would be the advantage of that?
I am not a parent but don’t most kids have their baby teeth by their first birthday?
If not their first I do know they have them by their second, first the cost wouldn’t be worth it feed the kid baby food till the chompers get in.
They would outgrow a set of baby dentures so fast, plus it would make a lot more work for Mom, and dad, not worth it in my opinion, but would love to see what parents have to say on this.

Plus momma wouldn’t like nursing if she forgot to take them out first.

@talljasperman: If they ate more solid food, their digestive systems probably couldn’t handle it.

How about some grillz for the babies? :)

Hahaha…this question and some of the answers are great.

But, not really. They basically get teeth when their bodies are ready to process solid foods.

No babies aren’t meant to have teeth. Teeth don’t start coming in until about 4 months old, and that is the two at the bottom front. Hahaha funny question love it.

The reason babies don’t eat solid food isn’t because they lack teeth, it’s because their digestive systems aren’t developed enough.

And like many things in life, just because you can doesn’t necessarily mean you should :)

And believe it or not, there’s even a company that makes wigs and toupees for babies :)

That’s just really creepy.. a newborn with a full grill.

Yikes no! The kid would end up with digestion problems anyway.
