Step 2:
Offer a teething ring, toy or washcloth
A teething baby pretty much wants to gnaw on whatever's available. He or she is basically seeking the relief that comes from counterpressure against the gums. Having a variety of items to offer will help you determine what the baby will like best.
One of the most popular teething remedies is the refrigerated or frozen teething ring or toy. Many babies take to these rubber, gel-filled or plastic items quite easily. Another well-known remedy is a homemade version of the same. Just take a clean washcloth, wet it, twist it and place it in the refrigerator or freezer. Some people like to moisten the cloth with chamomile tea, which is an herbal tea known for its calming effects, prior to refrigeration.
When that gnawing urge surfaces, just hand over one of the refrigerated items and let your baby go to town.
