Teething can be a challenging time for both babies and parents, especially when babies have a poor appetite. You can make some frozen foods, because frozen things will ease the discomfort caused by teething. Here are some gentle and soothing food options that can appropriately get a teething baby with a poor appetite to regain interest in food:
Frozen foods:
Yogurt: Plain or flavored yogurt, refrigerated in the refrigerator.
Frozen puree: Freeze applesauce or pear puree, any cold fruit or vegetable puree can be soothing.
Breast milk: Freeze breast milk or formula popsicles.
Frozen puree popsicles: Puree fruits such as bananas or mangoes, then freeze in small portions.
Frozen vegetables:
Frozen cucumber slices or carrot sticks for babies to chew can both relieve the discomfort caused by teething and make babies want to eat (it is worth noting that they must be large enough to prevent choking).
Homemade frozen fruit and vegetable drinks:
Blend fruits and vegetables into a cool, smooth drink.
Teething biscuits:
There are teething biscuits designed to be soothing and easy to chew.
Cool water:
Give your baby sips of cool water to keep him hydrated (be careful not to overdo it with babies, as it can upset their delicate stomachs).
Soft food:
Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes.
Oatmeal: Serve lightly chilled.
Finally, make sure the food you give is age-appropriate and avoid any choking hazards. If your baby continues to have a poor appetite or you have concerns about their nutrition, it’s best to consult your pediatrician.
