For your teething baby!
                   
Teething usually occurs between the ages of 3-12 months ( sometimes before this, sometimes after depending on child). For some babies teething is a breeze, and for others it is non stop crying, no sleep (FOR ANYONE!), and change is eating patterns. Here are some ideas to ease your babies pain!
  • Teething Toys- Bet you couldn't guess that one! ;)
  • Teething Tablets-I use Highland's 
  • Massage babies gums with your finger
  • Let them suck on a pop-sickle- Tristan loves this! Its really messy though. Help them hold it!
  • Let them chew on a cold wash cloth
  • Teething Gel- I would recommend a natural kind that doesn't numb.
  • Pain Medication- Talk to your pediatrician before giving your baby acetaminophen or any other pain reliever.
  • Teething Biscuit- WATCH YOUR BABY CAREFULLY!!! YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO CHOKE!  
Those are some ways to help with the pain caused by teething!
P.S. If your baby wont eat because it hurts their gums freeze the nipples on the bottle. The cold nipple on their gums will feel good so they can eat!
