#asktheexpert my son chews his fingers a lot and puts lot of pressure in mouth. I feel this is due to starting of milk teeth appearance. He is almost 6 months old now. Is there something we can do to help him ease this uncomfortability

A. hi give your kid chilled silicon based teething rings to chew on. gently massage the gum pad area with clean finger tip or moist cold cotton cloth to facilitate the teething process
