Teething Remedies: 5 Tips to Help Your Teething Baby

A teething baby is hard, there is no way around it, and all babies go through it. Unfortunately it seems like it lasts forever. Beginning for most between 4-6mo and continuing until 24+ months old! Sometimes with no substantial breaks between teeth.

The key to making teething bearable is being prepared! Here are my top 5 tips I give to parents to help their teething baby.

  1. Offer safe options for chewing. For example: teething approved pacifiers, grasping toys, rattles, and finger length veggies (frozen celery is excellent, just supervise closely and replace when it starts to break apart).
  2. Frozen foods. Breastmilk, formula, smoothie, pureed food popsicles. They are both soothing and a great way to offer calories since appetites often decrease when teething. 
  3. Offer various textures and shapes for teething (ensure all are safe, food-grade, and designed for teething): silicone,
  4. stainless steal, and wood. Each one offers a different firmness for soothing those sore gums. The oral sensory input is also excellent for developing brains.
  5. Camilia or other safety tested herbal relief. Avoid dosing with medication around the clock and instead look for effective natural solutions that aid in pain relief.
  6. Tylenol or Motrin. If your child is in significant pain, medication should be considered.

Some of my favorite options for teething babies:

  • Ryan & Rose : The safest, best, most beautiful Pacifiers, Teethers, Clips, and so much more! So many options for a teething baby.
  • Bannor Toys: We own almost every toy they make. They are gorgeous, heirloom quality, safety tested wooden toys and teethers.
  • Kleynimals: Engraved Kleynimals Keys are a fantastic teething option. They are also my favorite gift for both baby showers, holidays, and 1st birthday parties! They are durable, beautiful, safe, and fun for all ages of babies and toddlers. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Noah is truly our miracle baby! He was born with t Noah is truly our miracle baby! He was born with the umbilical cord wrapped tightly around his neck resulting in a lack of oxygen. As a result he developed Childhood Apraxia and struggled to speak. Soon after his diagnosis he also began having seizures.  Now at 5yrs old, he is thriving! He is joy and love, compassion and strength! Happy 5th Birthday Noah! Praise God💕

She was literally screaming “Mama! Mama! Maaamaa She was literally screaming “Mama! Mama! Maaamaaaa!” 🤣🤣🤣
Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the Noah turned 4 in January but I could not pass the opportunity to share how much progress he has made! He has made so much progress this last year, his motor skills are VERY close to age level. And despite a diagnosis of Apraxia of Childhood he works tirelessly At communication and is the most social little boy. Full of love, life and compassion, Noah is pure sunshine. Determined to be independent he definitely keeps us on our toes but his smiles and laughter bring immense joy to all who meet him. To know Noah is to love him. 
Noah’s favorites include playdoh, lollipops, cars, legos, music, and art. 
Dislikes include sleeping in and anything that make him feel unsafe.
