We all hate to see our children in pain. When your baby is crying due to teething, all you want to do is make it go away for him. Here are a few suggestions:
1. A six-month-old baby loves to feed herself. Let her do that by giving her a popsicle. Take an ice cube tray, fill it with your baby's favorite juice, and put wooden sticks in each section. The cold popsicle will numb his gums for a few moments and allow him to have a few giggles.
2. After the first two bottom teeth come in, your baby can chew on a cold carrot or apple. This will make the pain subside, as well as give your baby a little added nutrition. Remember - never give your baby something he can choke on.
3. You want to make sure you have handy an over-the-counter teething gel and pain reliever medication. These two combined will let your baby, and you, have a break from the pain. Be sure to ask your doctor what the correct dosage of medication is for your baby's age.
4. One of the ways a baby learns is through "mouthing" objects. Give your baby a cold teething ring. You can buy one that is made to be put in the refrigerator.
The best thing I have found to help my little angel get through teething is love. Lots of love and attention are sure to distract your baby from the pain of teething.
