When babies begin teething, they may experience symptoms such as gum swelling, drooling, irritability, and a strong urge to chew on objects. Frozen carrots can provide relief by numbing the gums and offering a satisfying chewing sensation. Additionally, carrots are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A and beta-carotene, which are essential for a growing baby's development. By offering frozen carrots as a teething aid, parents can feel confident that they are providing a natural, nutritious, and safe solution to help their little one through this challenging stage.
