6 ways to help soothe a teething baby

• Its safe to say Ive soothed many a teething
  baby. The flushed cheeks, the frustrated whimper,
  the characteristic drool, the zeal in which they
  shove whatever is in their grasp straight into
  the mouth, where theyd proceed to gnaw it to
  deathteething babies can be grumpy little
  things. Like any mother, I disliked seeing my
  baby in discomfort and it made me really want to
  help them and soothe their tiny gums.

Frozen fruit or veggies

• Add whatever fruit your baby likes (peaches,
  bananas, apple, sliced cucumber etc.) in a mesh
  feeder and put it in the freezer. The cold fruit
  will help numb their sore gums and the sweet
  juice from the fruit will keep them satisfied.

Brew a strong cup of chamomile tea

• Once the tea has cooled, soak a small washcloth
  in it and let your baby suck on it. You can even
  freeze the washcloth to help the pain of
  teething. A natural side effect the herbal tea
  will soothe your babys tummy and relax him.

4
Use your hands

• My babies used to love to chomp on my fingers
  while they were snuggled onto my lap. Use your
  fingers to rub your babys sore gums but watch
  outsometimes they bite! I was always amazed by
  the power of their strong jaws, especially when I
  was breastfeeding

5
Use clove oil to massage babys gums

• Clove oil can be found at any natural foods store
  but please use it with caution it is very strong
  and must be used with a carrier oil. For example,
  one drop of clove oil in 1-2 tablespoons of
  almond oil or other edible oil. Always test on
  your own gums firstif its too strong for you,
  then dont put it on your babys sensitive gums

6
Use homeopathic teething tablets

• Teething tablets seem to be the most common
  teething remedy and although they are safe for
  babies, you should still practice caution. I used
  to toss a bottle in my purse so Id always have
  some handy for a fussy baby. Once, my preschooler
  got into my bag and discovered them, thinking it
  was candy. He must have ate half a bottle. He
  walked into the livingroom, said his tummy felt
  funny and plopped onto the sofa and fell asleep
  for two hours. He survived, no harm no foul, but
  I was still a little shaken when I found the
  empty bill bottle.
