The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends various methods to alleviate baby teething discomfort. These include giving your baby something safe to chew on, such as a chilled teething ring or a damp washcloth, and gently massaging their gums with a clean finger. The AAP also suggests avoiding teething gels or medications containing benzocaine, which can harm babies. If you have concerns about your baby’s teething discomfort, consult your pediatrician for further advice and guidance.
