They often grab toys, fingers, or even shoulders to put pressure on their gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Changes_in_eating_and_sleeping_habits\"><strong>Changes in eating and sleeping habits:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teething problems can affect your baby&#8217;s appetite and sleep. Some babies have a reduced appetite, while others find comfort in breastfeeding or bottle feeding. This condition can also cause sleep disturbances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can try the following remedies to help your baby teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Cold_items\"><strong>Cold items:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your baby a clean, chilled pacifier or cold washcloth to nibble on. The feeling of coolness relieves gum pain. Extreme cold can be uncomfortable, so make sure your items are clean and not frozen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Gentle_pressure\"><strong>Gentle pressure:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently massaging your baby&#8217;s gums with clean fingers can provide temporary relief from teething discomfort. Make sure your hands are clean before doing this.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Teething_toys\"><strong>Teething toys:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose teething toys made from safe, non-toxic materials that are specially designed for babies. These toys often come in a variety of textures and finishes to help soothe gums.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Pain_relief_options\"><strong>Pain relief options:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen can also be given to infants <\/span><b>if recommended by a pediatrician<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Always follow directions and consult your doctor for the proper dosage before giving any medicine to your baby.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Comfort_and_Distraction\"><strong>Comfort and Distraction:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-806 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Crystalseasg baby teething - additional cuddling\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/crystalsea.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Additional-Cuddling.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offer extra cuddling, attention, and soothing activities to keep your baby distracted and comforted while she is teething.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that teething is a temporary stage and each baby&#8217;s experience can be different.
