~*~ Teething Question ~*~

Blizardblu

~*~ Hello Ladies I am a first time mom and am looking for some help in the teething department! Going all natural for birth was VERY important to me, as is not medicating if not medical necessary!!!

 

I know this is a Natural Birth Board, but I need help with teething!!

 

I am looking for Natural ways to help with soothing. I know of the frozen washcloth...... do you have a herbal trick or good idea?!?! Thanks for reading ~*~

Cold spoons are great, a clean finger. If your baby is old enough for solids I used to freeze fruit for my daughter or baby 'popsicles' with fruit and water in those mesh food holders... my daughter loved that. 

Otherwise if it is really bad and nothing is helping I gave a bit of tylenol or ibuprofen (they sell types without artificial colors) I always started with half the recommended dose. I am not a big 'medicator' but teething pain is pretty intense and sometimes she needed the pain relief.

have you looked into a teething necklace? I think they are made of amber? I did not use one with DS (he was a great teether) but have heard good things

Also, highlands makes an "all natural" teething tablets.  Check out the ingredients for yourself but I was pretty comfortable using these with DS the few times he needed them...

DD wears an amber necklace and we use chamomilla tabs, but if it's bad enough to keep her up at night (molars and canines have been rough) we definitely give Advil. I remember getting my wisdom teeth in high school, teeth hurt.
