u can get water teethers from market. make them cold in fridge and give to baby.

You could give them teethers, but avoid feeding anything else to the baby until he is 6 months old...

BabyChakra User

let it be it's a normal process. don't apply anything and don't feed her anything except milk before 6 months of age

according to WHO, world health organization, baby should be exclusively fed mother',s milk or formula and nothing else. that is 180 days only on feed or formula. not even water.

Yes for 4.5 months. Doc even told for water. But I have not given that
