8 Ways to Soothe a Teething Baby  

Introduction:  

The first years of a baby’s life are filled with joyful milestones. The first word, the first step, the first time they say mama or dada – these are all moments you will remember for the rest of your life. Teething, on the other hand, can be both memorable and frightening. 

When your child’s first baby tooth appears, it creates an odd quandary. On the one hand, you’re relieved that they’ve finally developed their first tiny tooth. The pain your child feels during this process, on the other hand, is not only terrible for them but can be agonising for you as well. 

Even if they don’t experience much pain, it’s almost certain that they’ll have swollen and tender gums, some discomfort, and be irritable for a while. 

You cannot avoid this pain because it is a natural process that every child must go through. You can, however, help to alleviate their discomfort by feeding them the foods listed below:  

Watermelon:

One of the few fruits that (most) children enjoy, it is also excellent for relieving teething pain. It is cold and soft, making it easier to eat. Don’t remove the rind as an added bonus. It is completely edible and is ideal for gnawing on while teething. 

Cucumber:

Because cucumbers are so versatile, they make excellent snacks. Cucumber slices can be eaten on their own or dipped in a variety of condiments such as hummus, yoghurt, salsa, pesto, and so on. Simply chop a few up and feed them whenever they want to eat something. 

Frozen Blueberries:

Frozen blueberries are the ideal teething snack. So keep a few packs in your fridge and give one to your kids whenever they become too cranky or irritable from the teething pain. 

Signs that your baby is teething: 

The symptoms vary from baby to baby, but they may include:
