Hi! I know I've been MIA lately. I've been busy with a new gig and a teething toddler....a nasty mix! I think the temper tantrums are a little age related and a little pain related so I've been looking for things to distract him any way I can. Letting Sam play my ukulele while I "sing" and dance like a fool seems to work best, but there has to be another option to help with the pain. I refuse to carry the uke everywhere we go...and the show I put on for Sam should not be seen by anyone over 2!
Here's what I found when I googled "
natural pain relief for teething". They all sound harmless (unless your toddler bites), but I'll try the ginger remedy first as I have it in the house.
- Make an allspice bead necklace for the tot to chew on.
- Rub the gums with ground clove paste (ground cloves with a touch of water to make a paste).
- Rub the gums with ground ginger paste (ground ginger mixed with water to make a paste).
- Soak a cloth in chamomile tea and freeze. Have the tot chew on this.
Have you tried any of these things? Do they work? Is there another natural option? Please help!
