Every baby teethes differently, but there are a few tried and true methods of soothing sore gums. There are thousands of teething toys out there on the market, but the truth is; a cold wash cloth works really great for soothing those sore gums. You can ask your pediatrician about using Tylenol or Orajel for the really acute pain, but I also find that cold, pureed baby food is great for an infant that's already transitioned to solids. The most important thing to remember, is that the acute pain only lasts for a few days. This too, will pass.
