What can I give my baby for teething pain?
The FDA warns parents against teething necklaces, bracelets and other teething jewelry, and says that numbing gels and some teething products carry risks for babies. The FDA's page and your pediatrician can tell you what is safe to try, such as a clean, cold, firm teething ring made for babies. Call your pediatrician if your baby seems very unwell.
