Thanks for these great tips!
Teething can be really difficult for babies. Thankfully JD have most of his teeth now and the majority of them came out without any major problems.
Only once did he have very high fever (up to 45 degrees one night) where we had a major scare. I didn’t know what the cause was until his doctor confirmed it was teething.
I thing the Baltic amber necklace that I bought made all the difference. JD started drooling as early as four months although he only got his first teeth round about when he was a year old. I couldn’t keep up with keeping his bibs clean.
But as soon as he got the necklace and the beads started doing their magic, I never had the need for a bib again.
Teething powder and teejel didn’t help at all.
Prodol is not a bad product. It numbs the painful gums but it only lasts for a while though.
I kept some teethers in the fridge which also assisted.
The Boiron Camilia drops and punkin butt teething oil sounds like really great products. I kind of like the name of the second one. 🙂
Teething is not for sissies and always feel sorry for those little babies that drools and bites on everything. It is so uncomfortable. To be honest I had no idea what the cute little necklaces were that I saw babies wearing until I read an article about the Baltic amber bead necklaces. It wasn’t a fashion statement. They really do work.
Teething is the first difficult stage in parenting. For me I have to admit that I was so happy about the progress that I had made with my new born and with setting routines, until it all went out the window once he started teething.
From a happy baby to a grumpy one, and it feels like eternity till the teething phases out.
What worked with my little one was Biltong, the wors sticks which is more rubbery than sharp so it never hurt his gums.
The ideas in this article are really helpful.
I shall pass on these tips to my pregnant friends I am certain it will be handy for them in the near future.
Teething can be very painful my son gave me a tough time coz by that time i didn’t know much about baby stuff, but a friend told me about Gel Teether Toy it was very helpful.
Comfort I know what you mean! I am so grateful that those teething days are long gone for our family. Those nights of screaming babies that are struggling with teething are so hard. I also found Gel Teething Toys incredibly helpful. Anything that could sooth my baby without medicating was a winner!
Thanks for these great tips but for all my 3 kids I use the amber necklace it really did help
I used amber teething necklaces for both my kids too Shireen and they worked beautifully!
Thank you so much for these great tips. For my daughter we used teether toys, her teething was relatively calm and not a big issue. My son is 6 months old now and I see he is starting to teeth as well thank you. Its an informative read
