#AskTheExpert my 5 month old son is continuously chewing everything around him almost all the time, including his fingers. Does it mean he is teething and is there a way to soothe him?

A. Hi yes during teething phase kids feel itching in the gums caused by the erupting teeth and they tend to put everything in mouth to chew on and get relief from itching. you can gently massage the gum pad area with clean finger tip to calm down your baby.
