In our experience, you’re just getting into a routine with your little one and then the tough teething stage starts! It usually begins at around three months and can go on until your baby is around two years old although this varies wildly from baby to baby. Fear not the teething stage doesn’t need to be terrible! From our own experience and starting a business based around this subject we’ve put together five handy tips for teething babies.
1. Gum Massage
Your babies’ gums are going through a tough time, they will be tender and sensitive, so try giving them a gentle massage with a clean finger. This helps reduce the pressure and provides a soothing feeling for them.
2. Cool Water
Giving your baby cool water not only soothes their gums but it also helps with the excessive dribbling. Just make sure it’s not too cold. We don’t want to cause any more pain!
3. Teething Gel

4. Chilled Teething Rings
A chilled teething ring is a great way to help with getting your baby through the teething stage. It gives your little one something to chomp on while the coldness will ease the discomfort on their gums. Try and get one with a good handle that won’t get too cold for them to hold.
