The drooling, the chewing on everything, the broken sleep and the tears — teething is a rite of passage that’s hard on babies and parents alike.
Here are the gentle natural alternatives parents reach for for teething and sore gums, always checking age suitability first.
Why teething hurts
Teething is little teeth pushing up through tender gums, and it’s genuinely sore.
- Teeth pushing through, swollen, tender gums as teeth emerge.
- Dribbling and chewing, the classic signs of a teething baby.
- Fractious, broken nights, sore gums disturbing sleep and mood.
The short version: teething is sore gums as teeth emerge, and gentle age-appropriate support offers comfort.
