If you are a parent, then you know what it is like to take care of a teething baby. If you are a new parent, like me, then you are in for a treat. Haha! I have always heard stories about the teething months, but now that I am experiencing it for myself, I realize that I underestimated how challenging it can be. There are days when Judah is a happy, adventurous, normal baby. Then, days when he is teething, are days that he fusses and refuses to be laid down. Those days can be rough for all of us! I have tried so many tricks to help smooth this process for Judah and Caleb and I. These are the five tricks that have worked for us, and I hope they help you.
#1 RaZbaby RaZberry Teething Paci
Judah loves this teether! It is hands-free and easy to clean. This teether allows him to chew on it while he plays or walks around in his walker. We attach it to a pacifier clip, and attach that to him, so he can pick it up and chew away as he needs it.
#2 Teething Amber Necklace
This is necklace is not for chewing, but for simply wearing. By wearing this necklace, Judah can naturally be exposed to the healing properties of amber. Baltic amber necklaces have the highest content of succinic acid (4-8%) – a natural remedy ingredient. I don’t know exactly how it works, but Judah seems to do better on the days he wears his. Just make sure to read the safety instructions.
#3 Copaiba Vitality Essential Oil
When Judah show signs of discomfort, I apply this oil to Judah’s gums by massaging it in. This trick works fast! I do this multiple times a day, and would say this is the best trick I have. I keep a roller cap on it for quick and easy access. We use Young Living’s oils because we trust in their purity and safety.
#4 Frankincense Essential Oil
I rub this oil on the outside of Judah’s jawline. This oil has soothing, calming and wellness properties. I will also give him a drop of Frankincense Vitality oil orally as well. This combined with the Copaiba oil mentioned above, makes Judah a happy baby.
#5 Stress Away Essential Oil Blend
This oil is for you momma! When Judah is teething, it can be hard on me as well as him. On his rough teething days, I get nothing accomplished, no sleep, and sometimes nothing to eat. So, I roll on this oil to help ease the stress. I think every momma needs this oil!
Along with these five tricks, I must also add snuggles. Snuggle your babies as much as you can. I find that when Judah is hurting, all he wants is to be in mine or Caleb’s arms. So we gladly oblige! These days are not easy, but I have learned to embrace them. Our babies are only this little once, so we must embrace every snuggle. We must also embrace advice from other mommas, who have had success. So tell me, what teething tricks have worked for you?
Oils!
I can’t say enough about these Young Living oils and products! They are amazing! Being a mommy has made me realize how important it is to have chemical-free, plant based tools.
