If your baby is fussy, drooling, and chewing on their hands, they may be teething. Offer safe, age-appropriate teethers or clean, cold fruit slices (like carrot sticks) for them to gnaw on to soothe their gums. Providing light, gentle massages around the mouth area can also offer comfort. While this can be a difficult phase, remember that symptoms often come and go, and the cold sensation is generally very effective at relieving gum pain.
