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.

  1. Chewing on a cold carrot

  2. Chewing on a piece of celery

  3. Cold applesauce when she eats, loves it

  4. 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)

  5. 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)

  6. Camilla teething liquid.



Other things mom’s suggested for teething

  1. Hylands teething tablets ( I have used these before. They are natural and i do think help soothe)

  2. Frozen Wash cloth

  3. Frozen Peas

  4. Frozen Fruit in silicone teething sucker

  5. Dr. Talbots Soothing tabs

  6. Gel filled teething ring

  7. Frozen spoon

  9. Orajel to gums

  10. Molar Magician

  11. Cold Cucumber Slices

  12. Copaiba essential oil rubbed to gums

  13. A large pickle rinsed ( multiple people said this)

  14. Wet a toothbrush, freeze it, let baby chew on it.

  15. Wet pacifier, freeze, and let baby suck on it.

  16. Frozen Breast milk popsicles

  17. Ice cubes

  18. Prayer ( you’d be surprised at how may people said this! I totally get it! )
