POOJA KOTHARIExpecting Mom due this month3 months agoA. When your 1-year-old baby is teething, it’s important to offer foods that are gentle on their sore gums but still nutritious and easy to chew. Here are some good options:
Soft fruits like mashed bananas, ripe peaches, or cooked and pureed apples and pears. Steamed vegetables such as carrots, sweet potatoes, or peas, mashed or cut into soft small pieces. Soft cereals and porridges like rice cereal or oatmeal, which are easy to swallow. Yogurt (plain and unsweetened) is soothing and rich in calcium. Soft finger foods like small pieces of soft cheese, well-cooked pasta, or soft bread. Teething biscuits or rusks designed for babies can help massage the gums (ensure they dissolve easily and watch for choking hazards). Cold foods like chilled fruit purees or yogurt can also provide relief to sore gums.
Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that could irritate gums or cause choking. Also, stay away from sugary snacks to protect teeth.
