Owww ow ow

All babies will experience mouth pain at a young age. This is completely normal, and is what we all know as "teething". During this stage you're going to be hearing a lot of whining, and crying. Having new teeth growing in cause a babies mouth to hurt and ache. This may be a stressful time period for some parents. Thankfully there are ways to go about making it more enjoyable for you, and your kid. You can buy toys for the baby to chew on. What kid doesn't love toys? While going through teething they're going to want to put a lot of things in their mouths. Don't stop them unless it's something you don't want ruined. You can buy teething rings from many stores. Teething rings are little rubber circles that look like a doughnut. Some teething rings you can put in the fridge, others you can't. It's best if you buy both kinds, because sometimes the coldness helps more. Another recommendation is to buy teething paste. You can buy these from most stores. Some parents wont use teething paste, because they wont put their finger in their kids mouth. They are to scared of hurting their kid or doing it wrong. All you have to do is put a little bit of paste on your finger and rub it on the top of their gums. Some of you may not be able to go to the store, or aren't able to afford teething rings, or paste. That is completely okay. There are many options you have that you have around the house. You can freeze many types of food, and give that to chew on. Cheese sticks, waffles, and long carrots work the best. Any food that is bigger than their hand will work though. Trying some of these methods will help relieve how stressed out you get. Giving your child something to chew on will help stop all the whining. Don't ignore the problem, because it'll only keep your child in pain for a longer time period. Keep trying different things until you find what works best for your child.

  1. My little brother is two, and so he's in a big teething stage. The teething rings that you put in the freezer help A LOT. It is complicated though, because they do unfreeze so you have to constantly refreeze them. But other than that they work wonders for my little brother.
