POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Teething can be uncomfortable for babies, but there are several ways to help provide relief:
1. Gentle massage: Rub your baby's gums gently with a clean finger to help soothe the discomfort.
2. Cold objects: Offer your baby a clean, chilled teething ring or a cold washcloth to gnaw on. The cold can help numb the gums and provide relief.
3. Teething toys: Provide your baby with safe teething toys designed to be chewed on. Look for toys made of soft, BPA-free materials that are easy for your baby to hold and manipulate.
4. Breastfeeding or bottle feeding: If your baby is breastfed or bottle-fed, nursing or feeding may provide comfort and distraction during teething.
5. Over-the-counter remedies: Consider using over-the-counter teething gels or pain relievers specifically formulated for infants, but be sure to follow the dosage instructions carefully and consult with your pediatrician before using any medication.
6. Distraction: Engage your baby in gentle play or activities to help distract them from the discomfort of teething.
Remember to monitor your baby closely for any signs of discomfort or distress, and consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns or if your baby's symptoms persist or worsen.
