Homeopathic Ways to Help a Teething Baby
Homeopathic Ways to Help a Teething Baby
This is one of the most painful things baby goes
through, if you ask me. Poor little swollen gums with
this hard little white thing trying to push it’s way
through. If you have gotten your wisdom teeth in, you
know it’s no picnic. Think that Tylenol or Advil is
the only thing you can give your babe? No way! There
are over-the-counter homeopathic remedies for teething
babies and there are herbs you can use to help. There
are actually A LOT of over-the-counter homeopathics
for kids and adults. In case you haven’t heard the
term homeopathic, it’s the use of natural ingredients
to cure what ails you. It is extremely effective and
is totally safe…even for babies and nursing or
pregnant women!! There are some great sites about
homeopathy on the net… www.abchomeopathy.com,
www.homeopathic.org/,
www.mothering.com/discussions/forumdisplay.php?f=45
are a few.
The two over-the-counter products that we like the
best are Hyland’s Teething Tablets or their gel and
Nature’s Bio drops. They are fantastic! The Hyland’s
tablets work better than the gel, but they are in a
milk base and my boys can’t have milk. We stick with
the drops now. You just place the drops or tablets
under babes tongue and that’s it! You can give
additional doses following the directions on the box.
These can both be purchased at any health food store
and even a lot of regular grocery stores!
With my boys, I would also fix them some weak
chamomile tea to help them rest. My guys both get a
fever when they cut teeth. I know that 99.9% of
(western) medical doctors will tell you that babies
don’t get a fever when they cut teeth, but every kid I
know does, so take that for what it’s worth. The boys
can’t sleep or rest when they have a fever, so the
chamomile and wiping them down with a lukewarm damp
cloth fixed them right up! There are herbs and
homeopathics you can give for fever, but it’s usually
not necessary for just a teething fever.
If you haven’t tried homeopathy, teething is a great
time to start!

Those are some great tips! I think I may try this with my 14 month old who is currently teething. Thank You!
my son is teething. We have been using those teething tablets but had to go with the motrin the last 2 nights. I can't wait for his tooth to pop out!
I have always given Orajel and tylenol/advil. Both my Mom & my husbands Mom are nurses so that is what they recommended for us. We were never given any natural alternatives but I like these alternative better. My son cant have milk either so maybe we should try the drops. Thank you for sharing!
