It sounds like your 8-month-old is experiencing classic teething symptoms. Fussiness, irritation, increased desire to be carried, and decreased napping are all very common during this time. To comfort your baby, you can try: * Teething toys: Chilled (not frozen) teething rings or wet washcloths can provide relief. * Gentle gum massage: Rubbing your baby's gums gently with a clean finger. * Comfort and cuddles: Extra snuggles can go a long way. Generally, medicine isn't needed for teething unless discomfort is severe. If your baby has a fever or you're concerned, it's always best to consult with your pediatrician.
