  ankle to numb pain and reduce swelling, cold

  chill it in the refrigerator. (For an extra
  soothing touch, first soak it in chamomile tea,
  which has been shown to calm fussy babies and
  help them sleep.) When you remove the washcloth
  from the bag, your child will enjoy munching on
  it because the fabric massages the ridges in her
  gums while the cold numbs the pain.
