Teething in babies starts at around 6 months of age. When the first teeth come through the gums, babies can feel pain. That is why they often have trouble sleeping during this time and cry a lot.

 

Typical signs of teething pain are swollen gums, excessive biting or sucking and drooling. Here are a few natural ways to relieve teething pain.

Wash your hands and gently massage the reddened gums for a few minutes. Repeat the procedure regularly every few hours.
Give the baby a damp flannel to suck and bite on. Put the flannel in the fridge for a few minutes beforehand so that it is nice and cold. Cold helps to reduce the swelling of inflamed gums.
Dummies and teething rings give the baby relief and comfort. Teething rings that contain a liquid can also be cooled in the refrigerator.
Cold fruit or vegetables to nibble on help the baby with teething. Bananas, carrots and apples are good choices. However, be careful that the baby does not swallow any large pieces. If necessary, make the fruit into porridge and give it well chilled.
A warm bath relaxes the baby and gives him a sense of security.
Freeze the baby's milk into ice cubes and give to the baby to suck on. Instead of milk, you can also give chamomile tea in ice cube form. Chamomile has anti-inflammatory properties.
Distraction is often the best medicine. Encourage the baby to play so that it forgets the pain.
A traditional form of relief is a necklace made of amber. Amber is a natural pain reliever during teething. The necklaces should be made especially for babies so that there is no danger of strangulation.

Various homeopathic remedies help the baby against the pain. It is best to consult a naturopath.
