How can I make my baby feed while he is teething?

This is the most variable of all teething concerns. Some teethers never miss a meal, some avid breastfeeders accelerate their nursing for comfort, but a few may pass up even their most trusted human pacifier. Offer cool, mushy foods - for example, applesauce and frozen fruit-juice slush. Put these on a cool spoon to make a real hit.
