Aoife Hearne: How can I help my teething baby who is refusing to eat?

Teething is a painful stage for babies and parents

Teething is a painful stage for babies and parents. I remember it all too well and, at times, it seemed that nothing I did could give relief to my little ones. It will pass in time, although I know hearing this is little comfort when you’re struggling.
