As is the case with human nature, no caring mom or dad wants to see their child in pain much less feel helpless to do anything about it. The rule of thumb for health issues is that before you can respond to something, you first have to be able to accurately identify it. The symptoms of a teething baby are easily recognizable. Be sure to look for teething items that are PCV-free. There are a number of ways parents can respond to children who are teething.
Infants can also obtain relief for teething through a massage of their gums.
Try this and you will see many an infant become readily, though momentarily, calmed. Ironically, using honey to sooth aching gums is the one we shy away from while using a dab of whiskey to numb infant gums is the one that we would go with as far as home remedies go. Honey is known to contain impurities. Introducing them to an infant who is teething can result in an even worse situation as harmful bacteria may be ingested or may seep through gums that are cutting open. With regard to natural anesthetics, the jury is out on the use of clove oil.
