I think my baby is teething. He seems to be more cranky lately. Is there anything I can do to help him?

If your baby has started on solid foods, you could let her gnaw on a peeled, chilled vegetable, such as a carrot, or a hard crust of bread. One of my friends used a chilled bagel as it is soft enough for baby to teeth on but at the same time, because of the spongey texture, helps absorb possible drooling. When you give baby chilled or frozen food products, be sure to keep a close eye on him to ensure no choking happens. You can also try teething toys, or simply a well-chilled, damp flannel cloth to bite on.
