Ava has been teething since she was 6 months and although I’m still learning there’s a few things I think have helped! Keep reading to see what I do and also what many of you mama’s suggested to me on IG.

WHAT IS TEETHING?

Teething is where the babies teeth go through the gums and this causes pain. I cannot even imagine how much that would hurt! It can start at 6 months and continue all the way till 2 years ( But I’ve heard it can last longer, gah!) Babies are normally irritable and their gums are swollen. There are a few things that can help soothe the pain naturally and help baby.

Here are the things Ava has liked so far.

Chewing on a cold carrot
Chewing on a piece of celery
Cold applesauce when she eats, loves it
Washcloth wet on the corner then frozen ( it works even better if you soak the washcloth in chamomile at first, twist it, then place in freezer. Camomile is soothing)
Amber teething necklace ( This maybe works, ha! I have put one on her and think it helps with her drooling, but the verdict is still out on this)
Camilla teething liquid.
