A teething baby is no joke and you will find out very early on that you need the best baby teething remedies on hand to ease your baby’s teething pain and symptoms. Babies usually start teething around 3 months of age, however some babies have even been born with teeth, and your baby will only have a full set of baby teeth around the age of 3 years old.
Some babies teeth with ease while others have a really hard time of it, and remember if your baby has a tough time then mommy will too! And trust me when I say that three years of teething is a very long three years with a bad teether.
So here are some of the best teething remedies for babies that I personally recommend you try:

Best Baby Teething Remedies
Amber Teething Necklaces
Amber teething necklaces are always my top choice when it comes to teething remedies. All you have to do is put it on your baby and it works wonders. I used amber teething necklaces for both my babies and I highly recommend every mom with a teething baby gets one.
Of all the baby teething remedies this is the best.
The baltic amber releases succinic acid when worn against the skin and this can soothe pain and relieve many of the symptoms of teething.
In fact I had a baltic amber necklace of my own which I wore to relieve bad menstruation pain and migraines. It worked beautifully.
FeelGood OralSoothe Teething Sprinkles
FeelGood OralSoothe Teething Sprinkles is a wonderful option for your teething baby because it is a 100% safe homeopathic remedy that will soothe your baby’s tender gums quickly and effectively.
It has no synthetic ingredients or alcohol. These teething sprinkles are perfectly formulated for your baby.
Cold Face Cloth
Wet a clean face cloth and put it in the fridge to chill then fold it up nice and small. Give it to your baby to chew on. Be careful not to leave your baby unattended with a face cloth as this can be a choking hazard.
Teething Mittens
This teething mitten is a great teething solution for your baby. This mitten can be worn on the left or right hand and it helps to prevent your baby from scratching while giving a great textured silicone surface for your baby to chew on. Many young babies cannot hold onto their teethers which makes this the perfect teether as it is worn and does not constantly get dropped on the floor.
Baby Feeder
This baby feeder is not only a wonderful way for your baby to progress from liquids to eating solid foods, it also makes for a fantastic thing for your baby to chew. You can make the experience even better for your baby by putting fruit in the fridge to cool before putting it into the feeder which will make it more soothing for your baby’s sore gums.
Jelebe Silicone Teething Necklace For Memme
This gorgeous silicone teething necklace is for mommy to wear and baby can play with it while nursing and chew on to relieve sore and irritated gums while mommy is holding baby.
It is made from BPA free food grade silicone. The necklace is soft with no sharp edges making it the perfect chewing delight for your teething baby.
It also has a breakaway clasp which is absolutely essential as we all know how strong our babies can be!

Which baby teething remedies have you tried and found very successful?
Oh yes, teething babies have a tough time managing that phase. That teething necklace for mommy looks so pretty and useful! I also like the baby feeder! When my son started teething, we baked edible rings for him to hold and chew on. He would suck on it and then throw it after it became soft! It was so funny watching him do that–and the look of surprise on his face as the soaked ring fell apart? Priceless!
All these are great suggestions to relieve baby’s teething distress!
Mine looks like he might be teething as he is really cranky and teary. Eight months old and no teeth so far!
Every mom will always remember the phase of teething in their kids. It is a testing time for mom and child The remedies you have suggested all sound really effective. I especially like the idea of a teething necklace, it seems to be a really effective and soothing remedy that would relieve many of the symptoms. Of course, there are many home remedies that our moms and grandmoms would suggest.
My 8 month old son has developed a habit of sucking on his wet wipes, now I understand why after reading about the cold face cloth.
With his sister I used Zymafluor drops, Ashton & Parsons powders and Calpol, here and there and they helped her.
I would love for my son to try the necklace. It seems to be very helpful.
Amber teething necklaces are fantastic – I used them for both of my babies and they were amazing. Good luck for the competition Karabo!
Used the teething necklace with my first born will definitely use it again.😀
I’m glad you enjoyed the amber teething necklace and it worked well for your first baby Bronwyn 🙂
I’m so bookmarking this one. Bub will start teething soon 😀
Ooh good luck! I found teething really hard until I got my girl a teething necklace and the best thing is that by the time my second baby was born he could use the same one that she had. It was a fantastic investment and so much better than giving my babies medication and teething powders/ gels.
I would love to try the sprinkles. I am going to be using a necklace for my 3 month old.
The necklace is fantastic Bianca and the sprinkles are also superb because they are all natural!
Thanks! My 5 month old has started teething and I will definitely try some of these!!
Oooh good luck with the teething Nicolene!
I have tried Prodol and the teething Mixture from Sunningdale Pharmacy in Durban North and that helped as well.
The teething Mitten kept falling off and her hand. I also froze her teething toys.
Thanks for the info will definitely try the cloth my 18 month old is chomping on ice lollies every day because of teeth
The wet cloth remedy is fantastic!
I have used the aquafresh baby tooth paste 0-3 years it have helped the gums
I’m definitely purchasing and teething necklace , I had my doubts about it but it’s being recommended by lots of mommies , my little boy just went on 7months ,he has two funny looking teeth but thank goodness we have an smooth process
I loved the amber teething necklace for both my babies!
Thank you for the advice. We have a 4 month year old that already has 2 teeth. I love the mittens because he puts his fingers too far in his mouth!
I know, that always drove me crazy with my babies when they teethed and the mitten is a superb option.
Awwww my 11 month old is having quite a tough time teething. I have a amber teeting necklace, and after reading the above, it gives me so much ease that it can soothe pain and relieve many of the symptoms of teething. i definitely will try the other techniques to try and ease her teething process.
Good luck Mercia, I am just so grateful that my kids are well past that stage!
We used the amber necklace for our little monkey and it worked really well, he didn’t really struggle with the teething thing. Good ideas for baby number 2
I’m not surprised you found the amber necklace so fantastic, we did too with both our kids!
Good day my son is currently 10mnths old and I’m struggling with him to eat solids and he only weighs 7.5 can mom’s help me please..what can I do for him to gain weight..
Have you discussed his weight with your doctor? If you are concerned about his weight I really think the best thing to do would be to run it by your doctor and have them chart his weight to see if he is gaining enough.
Oh my gosh, teething has been terrible with my 8 month old daughter. And it’s only the beginning with only 2 teeth yet! The necklace seems to be helping with the old biltong piece but she vommits constantly whether she’s to feverish of reflux… My boys of 9 and 6 were never this hard! Thanks Karma, you silly fool!!
My little one only started teething at a year old and luckily hasn’t been too bad
Thanks Lynne….At the moment we are using the Amber necklace…prodol and Ashtons and Parsons….he is going through a hard time with teething. Thanks for this article…
I love the idea of amber necklace.My 5 months girl is starting to have signs of teething
