Baby Teething Relief Tips — Soothe Sore Gums the Safe Way
Share
Teething can be tough — babies may drool more, chew everything they can reach, and have restless nights.
But don’t worry! There are many simple and safe ways to help relieve teething discomfort.
Here’s how to keep your little one happy while those tiny teeth come in:
✅ 1️⃣ Chilled Teething Toys
Cold helps numb sore gums.
Try:
-
Refrigerated (not frozen) teething rings
-
Chilled washcloths
✨ Avoid freezing toys solid — they can be too hard!
✅ 2️⃣ Gentle Gum Massage
Wash your hands and rub baby’s gums with a clean finger.
The pressure can bring instant relief!
✅ 3️⃣ Teething-Safe Silicone Toys
Soft, flexible materials are perfect for chewing:
-
BPA-free silicones
-
Soft textured surfaces
Encourages jaw and oral development too!
✅ 4️⃣ Soothing Snacks (for babies eating solids)
Chilled soft foods like banana slices or purees feel great on gums.
Always supervise closely during chewing!
✅ 5️⃣ Maintain Comfort
Extra cuddles, calm environments, and rest help babies cope better.
Teething can be emotional as well as physical 💛
✅ When to Talk to a Pediatrician
If you notice:
-
Fever over 100.4°F (38°C)
-
Diarrhea
-
Rashes or severe swelling
→ These are not typical teething symptoms.
⭐ Parent Pro Tip
Dress babies in bibs + apply barrier cream on drool areas
→ Prevents irritation from constant moisture ✅
Teething is just a phase — with the right comfort tools, you and your baby will get through it together ✨
