Title: Natural Ways to Relieve your Teething Baby (1)

Teething Tips for soothing sore gums
  • What's typical?
  • Although timing varies widely, babies often begin
    teething by about age 6 months. The two bottom
    front teeth (lower central incisors) are usually
    the first to appear, followed by the two top
    front teeth (upper central incisors).

Teething Tips for soothing sore gums
  • Rub your baby's gums. Use a clean finger or
    moistened gauze pad to rub your baby's gums. The
    pressure can ease your baby's discomfort.
  • Keep it cool. A cold washcloth, spoon or chilled
    teething ring can be soothing on a baby's gums.
    Don't give your baby a frozen teething ring,
    however. Contact with extreme cold can be harmful

Teething Tips for soothing sore gums
  • Try hard foods. If your baby is eating solid
    foods, you might offer something edible for
    gnawing such as a peeled and chilled cucumber
    or carrot. Keep a close eye on your baby,
    however. Any pieces that break off might pose a
    choking hazard.
  • Dry the drool. Excessive drooling is part of the
    teething process. To prevent skin irritation,
    keep a clean cloth handy to dry your baby's chin.
    Consider applying a moisturizer such as a
    water-based cream or lotion.

Teething Tips for soothing sore gums
  • Try an over-the-counter remedy. If your baby is
    especially cranky, acetaminophen (Tylenol,
    others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Children's Motrin,
    others) might help. Avoid teething medications
    that contain the pain reliever benzocaine.
    Benzocaine products have been associated with
    methemo globinemia a rare but serious condition
    that reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood.
