My 4.5 months old baby is teething, I can see his lower front tooth erupting, due to this breastfeeding is becoming very difficult, just after 3-4 mins of sucking he bites on my nipples, it is so painful...I am so scared now to take him on my breast, happening since 3-4 days...what to do??

A. Hello my dear parent! Gently press your child’s gums with a soft cotton cloth dipped in cold water to reduce teething symptoms. Use Babyhug teethers for your baby. Consult your doctor for further assistance in this regard.
