The good news is that there are a variety of comforting and nutritious foods that are easy for your baby to eat while teething. Chilled pureed or mashed baby food. If your baby's already enjoying solid foods, putting them in the fridge before serving can help soothe sore gums. Soft foods.One of the most common symptoms of teething is a loss of appetite. Your baby doesn't want to eat because of the discomfort and pain of teething. Their gums become inflamed and sore as teeth push on the gum. The pressure can make your baby's mouth hurt, ultimately leading to a lack of appetite and skipping meals.
