Title: Natural Ways to Relieve your Teething Baby

Natural Ways to Relieve your Teething Baby
  • At around 4-8 month of age a baby's first teeth,
    known as their milk teeth, start to come through.
    While some babies can get through teething with
    next to no discomfort at all, for other babies
    there can be a lot of pain. A baby's milk teeth
    do not cut through the gum, in fact chemicals are
    released within the baby's body, which cause the
    cells in the gum around the tooth to die and
    separate, allowing the new tooth to emerge.

Natural Remedies
  • There are many, and varied symptoms of teething.
    Your child may show only one or two symptoms, or
    the whole range. The milk teeth sometimes move up
    and down under the gum, so teething symptoms can
    present themselves for a couple of months before
    any teeth actually emerge. Once the tooth has
    emerged through the gum the pain and discomfort
    should normally stop.
  • Your baby may have a raised body temperature -
    but never a fever! Always consult a doctor if you
    baby is running a fever.
  • Your baby may have red, rashy cheeks that are
    warm to the touch.
  • Your baby's gums may be red, swollen or even
    appear to be bruised.

Remedies
  • Teething toys and things to chew on.
  • Toys made specifically for teething are a great
    option, as they are usually shaped in a way that
    is easy to hold, and are made of a texture that
    is satisfying and effective in easing the
    discomfort in a baby's gums.

Massage your baby's gums
  • Massage your baby's gums
  • Teething pain is caused by the pressure of the
    new tooth pushing up through the gum. By putting
    gentle pressure on the gum, the pressure and pain
    caused by the new tooth can be alleviated. You
    can massage your baby's gums gently with your
    finger, which will not only relieve the pain, but
    will also improve circulation of blood in the
    gums which helps the new tooth to push through.
    You can try using a small amount of clove oil on
    you finger as you massage your baby's sore gums
    as this can have a numbing effect on the gums.
    Carefully limit the amount of clove oil you use,
    as to much can upset your baby's stomach.
  • Natural Remedies
  • One common remedy for the pain of toothache and
    teething is letting your infant chew on a natural
    licorice stick (the herb, not the confectionery!)
    You can find natural licorice in health food
    stores real licorice feels cool and also numbs
    the gums when your baby chews on it.
