A. While teething, babies do resist food due to irritation in gums. To ease it, you can massage the gums with clean finger or cotton cloth or give a chilled teether to chew on. If she is not having solid food, avoid it and give milk or pureed foods like mixed vegetable soup, pureed apple and pear, mashed banana, ragi and sooji porridge, etc.
