Comforting Your Baby During Teething
Teething can cause temporary discomfort during nursing, leading to biting or fussiness. Offering cold teething toys or chilled breastmilk pops can soothe your baby before feeds.
Your milk continues to provide anti-inflammatory properties, which may ease teething pain. Remember, this is a passing phase, and your breastfeeding journey will adapt.
