Teething is a time that might leave both parent and baby sleepless and slightly frazzled. Here is how to soothe your baby.
If you are a nursing mom, try drinking catnip or chamomile tea. But herbs are quite calming. You can also soak a wachcloth in the cooled tea and allow your child to chew on the cloth.
Unsulfered dried apple rings make handy teething food. One the their virtues is that you can put the fruit rings arond your babys fingers, thus, prolonging the time before the object falls on the floor. Several kinds of teething cookies are also available. Always be present when you allow your baby to chew on something to avoid choking.
