A. Teething can be uncomfortable for toddlers, and it's common for them to become cranky during this period. Here are some tips to help soothe a teething toddler: 1. **Cold Teething Toys:** Chilled teething toys can provide relief. Make sure they are safe for your toddler to chew on. 2. **Cold Washcloth:** Dampen a clean washcloth, place it in the refrigerator for a short while, and let your toddler chew on it. 3. **Gentle Massage:** Rub your toddler's gums with a clean finger. Ensure your hands are clean, and apply gentle pressure. 4. **Pain Relief Gel:** Use a teething gel or ointment recommended by your pediatrician to numb the gums temporarily. 5. **Offer Cold Foods:** If your toddler has started on solid foods, offer cold and soft foods like yogurt or pureed fruits. 6. **Distraction:** Engage your toddler in activities or play to divert their attention from the discomfort. 7. **Comfort Items:** Provide comfort items such as a favorite blanket or stuffed toy. Always monitor your toddler for signs of discomfort and, if necessary, consult with your pediatrician for advice on appropriate teething relief measures or over-the-counter options.
