Once your baby’s first teeth start surfacing, its time for baby to sample different textures. During teething, your baby may experience some discomfort and display symptoms like becoming more fussy, drooling, gum sensitivity, refusing to eat and sleep. If your baby is old enough to eat finger foods, it may help alleviate discomfort when they gnaw on a hard, teething rusk (biscuit).
Caution : Please keep an eye on your baby and be mindful of choking if baby is given teething rusks or finger food.
