Baby’s teething symptoms and tips to sooth them

According to naturopathic Doctor Stephanie Yaremko³, teething symptoms are easy to recognize. Painful gums, restlessness, irritability, diarrhea, rosy cheeks, excessive drooling and nighttime wakefulness are sure signs of baby starting the teething process. Dr. Yaremko suggests the following tips to help your child go through these symptoms: use a silicone teether to chew on, massage the gums with a semi-frozen washcloth, give puree ice cubes by using a mesh feeder, make your child feel more secure (double the cuddling and lots of nursing) and change the diaper more frequently and use a good diaper cream to prevent diaper rash⁴.
