Gently massage your baby's sore gums using a clean, washed finger or a damp, chilled washcloth to help reduce pain.You can also offer solid, chilled rubber teething rings or toys, but avoid anything frozen solid as it can bruise the gums.If the baby continues to refuse nipple feeds due to pain, try offering milk via a small cup, spoon, or clean syringe.Never use over-the-counter numbing gels or drops containing benzocaine or lidocaine, as health agencies warn they carry life-threatening risks for infants.Avoid homeopathic teething tablets or amber necklaces because they pose severe poisoning, choking, and strangulation hazards.Consult for advice on pain relief,
