Relieving baby’s teething: understanding it and coping with it
A trying time for parents, teething generally accompanied with fussiness is not only uncomfortable but may also be painful. However, there are various solutions to help parents deal with this stage and make it a less painful process for their infant.
Teething usually starts when your baby is around 6 months old1. A natural phase in the development of infants, it can be a difficult time to go through. But what is teething? What is the cause of teething and how can parents offer relief to their infant?
Teething can extend into a long period presenting multiple phases
Teething is a long phase starting at around 6 months, lasting up to around 36 months2. As a result, it is crucial to know and understand the symptoms properly and how to help your baby cope with this painful stage.
Baby’s teething symptoms and tips to soothe them
According to naturopathic Doctor Stephanie Yaremko3, teething symptoms are easy to recognize. Painful gums, restlessness, irritability, diarrhea, rosy cheeks, excessive drooling and nighttime wakefulness are sure signs of a baby starting the teething process. Dr. Yaremko suggests the following tips to help your child go through these symptoms: use a silicone teether to chew on, massage the gums with a semi-frozen washcloth, give pureed ice cubes by using a mesh feeder, make your child feel more secure (double the cuddling and lots of nursing), change the diaper more frequently and use good diaper cream to prevent diaper rash4.
