Question

How should one handle the situation where a baby often cries during teething and shows resistance to breastfeeding?

Answer

Babies may cry during the teething process due to discomfort caused by the growth of their teeth, and they might refuse to take milk. In such cases, it is advisable to avoid giving the baby hard foods and consider using teething rings to alleviate the sensation of tooth pain. Additionally, to promote healthy dental growth, it is important to supplement with calcium, which not only aids in dental development but also helps alleviate the itching caused by teething. During this stage, parents can opt to use teething rings to help soothe their baby’s discomfort.
