Relief for Teething Babies

Posted: Dec 01, 2009 |Comments: 0 |

It can be hard for parents to look at teething babies, especially those who go through a lot of pain. Fortunately, not all parents have to go through with this: some babies do not experience much pain during teething episodes. Some parents even claim that they just suddenly see their little one sporting a new tooth, without prior warning.  For the worried parents whose little tots do go through the fussy and painful stage, however, there are some prescribed sources of relief.

Something to Bite On
A teether is definitely something to bite on. However, some pediatricians choose to shy away from it.  For those who do recommend a teether, they prefer the soft jelly-like teethers that contain water. When cooled, the teether can bring some relief to baby’s aching gums. A clean finger from mom or dad and a blanket can serve as teether substitutes.

Teething Gel
You may also buy a teething gel, which usually comes in flavors that your baby will enjoy. This gel is used to numb the area where the tooth is about to erupt. As a guide, you can ask your pediatrician for a diagram of the order in which every tooth erupts. The first few teeth are the four front ones, with the two lower front teeth coming out first.

“Comfort Foods”
Another way to relieve teething pain is to let your little one bite onto biscuits made especially for those painful gums.  He can hold onto the biscuit himself. It is self-feeding practice and teething relief rolled into one. A frozen banana, on the other hand, can be messy but effective in comforting teething babies.
