Teething, my tips and tricks to struggle through!

6:56:00 pm

Hey everyone! 

Now this is a tough one, each baby and mumma is different and everything I say and do is my own personal approach so please don't criticise me or think your doing it wrong of your just doing thing differently (: 

Charlie started showing signs of teething around 3-4 months which is quite common (: some signs might include the following:
| flushed cheeks
| hot ears
| white gums
| sleep disruption
| temperature 
| chomping on everything they can get in their mouth! 

Dribble is shocking Tshirts will become saturated and if your bubba didn't use bibs before hand stock up now! Bibs with a plastic backing are fabulous so the wetness can't soak through to thier shirts (: pannadole and nurophen are also handy to keep in the fridge/cupboard incase of a fever or severe pain. I have found nurophen helps reduce the fever for longer periods of time such as at night. 

Now amber teething necklaces? I brought one when Charlie was 3 months old and he wore it for about a week, it annoyed him because he was so little and chubby the it rubbed on his neck. His now 7 months old and has been wearing it for the past two weeks, it's more comfortable because he has more neck room now haha πŸ˜‚ 
I personally don't think it relieves 100% of pain and irritation but for my son it deffinitely helps! 

Another little tip is freezing a face washer and letting them chew on it, it's easy to grip and nice and cold on their gums! 
I also travel with bonjella for a instant quick fix relief for bubs if his being irritated badly. I have heard some babes dislike the taste so I guess it's trial and error but Charlie loves it. But hey, this kid of mine will eat anything! 
Speaking of eating since I have started BLW one meal a day I think that is also a fun time did him to excessive chewing which also is some relief on his gums. 
What is BLW you say? Look out for my next blog post πŸ‘Œ
Thanks for reading, speak soon! Mwa 😘
