A. Hello dear parent! Check if your baby is teething. Maintain a good personal and oral hygiene for your baby. Keep cleaning your baby’s mouth and hands frequently after feeding. Use Babyhug teethers and soothers. Continue to exclusively breastfeed your baby well on demand. Good luck and take care:
