Soggy collars, red cheeks, endless chewing and a grumpy, unsettled little one — teething days have a very recognisable look.
If teething pain is making for dribbly, grumpy days, here are the gentle natural remedies parents reach for.
Why teething causes such grief
Teething is sore gums and a lot of dribble as new teeth push through.
- Sore, swollen gums, tender gums as teeth emerge.
- Lots of dribble, extra saliva and constant chewing.
- Grumpy, broken days, discomfort disturbing mood and sleep.
The short version: teething is sore gums and dribble as teeth come through, and gentle support offers comfort.
