What to do if your baby is uncomfortable with teething

When babies are teething, they will drool and their gums will be inflamed. Some babies may even become irritable and angry. At this time, parents must be aware of their children's pain, because the bacteria in the saliva of some babies will increase and cause diarrhea. So what should you do if your baby is uncomfortable with teething? Try these tips to help reduce your baby's teething discomfort.

1. Massage your gums

Gently rubbing your baby's gums with a clean finger can help relieve teething pain.

2. Cold compress gums

Giving your baby something cool to chew not only helps soothe inflamed gums, but also distracts your baby. A cool washcloth or chilled pacifier will work, but something yummy and tasty, like a chilled banana or cold carrots, may keep your baby occupied longer.

3. Use the bottle wisely

Fill the bottle with water or juice, then invert the bottle so that the liquid flows into the nipple, and place the bottle upside down in the refrigerator until the liquid freezes. Your baby will happily chew on the frozen nipple of the bottle. Remember to check the nipple from time to time to make sure it is intact.

4. Divert your baby’s attention

The best approach may be to take your baby's attention away from his or her emerging gums. Try playing with your baby's favorite toys or rocking or dancing with him in your arms. Sometimes, just a little game of peek-a-boo can get your baby's attention and make him or her forget about the discomfort.

What should I do if my baby feels uncomfortable due to teething? This is a question every parent asks as their baby grows. Some of the suggestions above are relatively simple methods in life. Babies are constantly exploring the world. As parents, we should also learn to explore what to do when babies feel uncomfortable due to teething, and continue to grow with our babies. I believe it is not difficult.
