How Do You Relieve Babys Sore Gums?
To see that first pearly white tooth in your little one’s mouth is a major milestone. Some babies take teething in stride, with hardly any noticeable side effects. Others tend to show a decreased appetite, an increase in crying and a need for extra TLC. To help relieve baby’s sore, tender gums, follow these steps Massage her gums gently with a clean finger. Offer him a cold teething ring or a damp washcloth to chew on, or give her a cool drink in her bottle. Water, formula or breast milk will help to cool down the entire mouth. Spoon-feed chilled, baby foods such as applesauce, yogurt or pureed baby food to him. The cold will help to numb the pain. Find a pacifier made especially for teething. These are almost exactly like a run-of-the-mill pacifier, except they have more texturing where they meet the gum-line, which allows baby to self-massage her gums. You’ll find these pacifiers at stores carrying infant products. Apply a topical pain reliever designed specifically for infants. Thes
