Teething Part Two - Natural remedies for teething

Hello again, I hope you enjoyed yesterdays blog about Amelie's favourite teething toy. I wish I had not bothered with all the other teething toys we tried before we found Sophie la Giraffe but we will now for our next children that she is all we need, well all we need along with a few natural teething remedies. I will share with you today some things that worked for us. Please remember I am a mother not a doctor this is just what worked for us....

Natural Teething remedies that worked for Amelie…

-      Nelsons Teetha of course is a great option. 100% natural chamomile powder. The tiny powder sachets relax and sooth your teething baby. We have teetha stashed all over the house and car. visit http://www.nelsonsnaturalworld.com/ for more information.

-      Cold chunks of cucumber work a treat. Amelie loved from a very young age to suck and chew on chunks of cucumber when she was teething, it has a lovely flavour and the cold sooths the gums just remove the skin and make sure you always watch your baby to ensure they do not choke.

-      Any cold fruit or vegetables will sooth the teething pain. If you are worried about the chocking risk there is a great little device you can get a mesh net holds the food. I used one for a short while though I found that it encouraged Amelie to suck more than chew so I went back to just watching her like a hawk when chewing bits of cold fruit. (Just another thing I purchased that I did not really need for Ameile.)

-      A frozen wash cloth is an excellent remedy for teething. Simply dampen a clean face washer and freeze it. The texture and the clod will sooth even the sorest gums. (Instead of using water to dampen the cloth before freezing why not use chamomile tea…)

Teething Part One - Sophie la Giraffe

This week Amelie has not only had a cold but has been teething too. The poor little thing has needed all the Mummy and Daddy cuddles she could get and Sophie la Giraffe has not left her side. So this week the blogs are inspired by teething and I will share with you a little about Sophie la Giraffe and some natural teething remedies you might like to use. 

Amelie has had different teething toys, ones that go in the fridge to stay cold and of varying shapes, sizes and textures. Once we got Sophie all of those toys have become obsolete. Sophie was recommended to us by so many different friends and family that we just couldn’t resist getting Amelie one before Christmas last year.

Who is Sophie la Giraffe? Sophie has an incredible story she has been around for almost 50yrs and was first created as a teething toy in France in 1961… anything that has stood the test of time for half a century must be worth a look, right?

She is made from 100% natural rubber derived from the sap of the Hevea tree and painted with food grade paints which means she is entirely nontoxic and perfect for Amelie and children all over the world to chew on. Amelie loves to play with Sophie even when she is not teething and I am forever hearing Sophie’s squeak all around the room. Check out www.sophielagiraffe.co.uk
