2. Take to the teether.
It's not rocket science, and it's the method most of us probably
try first, but don't discount a good baby teether. Especially
helpful for baby's aching gums are teethers which can be chilled
in the refrigerator. A vibrating teether is also an awesome
choice, as it provides counter pressure and a distracting sound.
3. Try a gum massage.
If your baby is just getting starting in the teething game, your
clean finger or knuckle can be a great massaging tool for his sore
gums. If little bit already has several teeth, this baby teething
remedy comes with some risk of him biting you, so be careful!
4. Experiment with a frozen washcloth.
Let your prince or princess gnaw on a frozen washcloth. It may
sound odd, but a wet washcloth, when placed in the fridge or
freezer for 30 minutes, can provide a cold, textured compress
that is a perfect remedy for a teething baby.
5. Raid the Refrigerator.
Cold foods can provide some numbing power and relief for
baby's sore gums. Try chilled yogurt or applesauce for babies
who are new to solids. For toddlers, chilled vegetables or fruits
with a little crunch may do the trick. Try celery, carrots, and
apple wedges. Just be sure to monitor your little one, to ensure
that she doesn't (literally) bite off more than she can chew.
6. Keep baby dry.
If your baby turns into a drool machine during teething time, take
measures to ensure he stays dry and comfortable. Bring extra
changes of clothes when you're on the go, or keep things simpler
and arm baby with bandana bib power. At Copper Pearl, our
bibdanas are made with a fleece backing that will keep even the
drooliest of babies dry all day!
