Contrary to common belief,teething does NOT cause any problems like fever,pain or loose motions. Give 3 milk feeds including one top milk feed using a spoon and katori and 3 solid meals a day including curd and Banana in the diet in addition to whatever you prepare at home. The last meal before bedtime should be a solid one,that'll help him sleep longer.
