How can I help soothe a teething baby?

Babies often begin teething anywhere from 3 months onwards with most babies displaying their first tooth around 5 months of age.  Teething can be very painful and cause great discomfort for your baby.  Some things you can do to help soothe a teething baby include letting baby chew on a pacifier, teething ring (cold or room temperature), putting a wet washcloth in the freezer and letting baby suck on that, Tylenol for infants (be sure to check with your pediatrician first before giving baby any medication under 6 months of age).
