BABIES TEETHING PAINS
- How to Help
Seeing your baby’s first smile
is exciting.
Those tiny first teeth
are adorable, but they can also
cause some serious pain.
Your baby may be teething
if you notice excessive drooling,
crankiness or a change
in their appetite.
These symptoms often arrive
before you can see or feel their
first tooth.
Figuring out how to help your
baby ease their pain may require
some trial and error.
These tried and true methods all
help to get your baby through this
challenging stage.
RUB THEIR GUMS
Most teething pain comes
from the pressure created
by the tooth pushing
against the gums.
Using counter-pressure
can sometimes relieve the
sensations that this causes
to the nerves.
Use a clean finger
or a moistened piece
of gauze to massage your
baby’s gums.
This method is most likely
to help if your baby seems
to be mouthing everything
they get their hands on.
EXPERIMENT WITH
A TEETHING TOY
OR WASHCLOTH
Teething rings come in a variety
of different textures and styles.
These toys use cold
temperatures to soothe
inflamed gums.
Avoid using any that are filled
with gel since these can break.
A clean, wet washcloth can also
be chilled to deliver the same
cooling effects in a pinch.
OFFER COLD
AND SOFT FOOD
Babies often turn away food
that makes their pain worse.
For now, give your baby
cold foods that are easy for
them to swallow with very
little chewing.
Pureed fruits and vegetables
can be chilled in the refrigerator
to make them more enticing
to teething babies.
TRY TEETHING
BISCUITS
Teething cookies
are an option that you can
use for older babies.
These biscuits are designed
for babies to gnaw on to get
the counter-pressure that
they crave.
Keep in mind that these
biscuits can leave behind
residue that stays on your
baby’s teeth.
Even a brand new tooth
can get a cavity.
Give those emerging teeth
a wipe down with a finger
brush or wet washcloth
when your baby is done
eating to keep them clean.
CONSIDER AN
OVER-THE-COUNTER
MEDICATION
There may be times when
teething pain is severe
