American tennis star Serena Williams has asked her Twitter followers for advice on how to help her baby deal with teething problems.
The former world number one tennis player gave birth to her first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian, in September.
Williams, who has more than 10 million followers, wrote on Monday, that she was "so stressed" and that "it’s breaking my heart."
Nothing is working. It's breaking my heart. I almost need my mom to come and hold me to sleep cause I'm so stressed. Help? Anyone??

Williams complained in the post that nothing she had tried, including amber beads and cold towels, helped to soothe her baby.
Teething- aka the devil — is so hard. Poor Alexis Olympia has been so uncomfortable. She cried so much (she never cries) I had to hold her until she fell asleep. I've tried amber beads… cold towels…. chew on mommies fingers…. homeopathic water (lol on that one) but…… pic.twitter.com/hCRMJ0RhUQ

Her social media followers were quick to react with advice and encouragement.
Freeze her teething ring and let her bite on that

Let her bite on cold (almost frozen) fruit or a fresh fruit popsicle. Also, Infant Tylenol is your friend.

Sounds like you need some me time. Always remember it's ok to take a break. Seeking help from other's can complicate thing's more. Take a break regroup and it will come right to you! You got this! 💖💖💖

How long did you breastfeed? Is it weird that I get emotional when I even just think about when it's time to stop? pic.twitter.com/YOz4oeIajH
