Top tips for teething tots Teething - if treated in the right way - can be much less distressing for your little one (and you!) than it needs to be. While it's a common issue, there are plenty of products you can try to help alleviate the symptoms and ensure you and your baby get the good night's rest you deserve. Here are some top tips, direct from the Chemist.co.uk team... Numb your baby's pain temporarily by gently rubbing a clean finger over his or her sore gums. Chewing on the teat of a dummy may help soothe the pain associated with teething; take a look at the NUK Winnie the Pooh Silicone Soothers Size 2. They are suitable for babies aged six to 18 months and cost less than £5. Try a teething ring such as Dr Brown's Options Watermelon Teether, which is designed to cool sore gums and relieve pressure during teething. Reaching all parts of the jaw to provide lasting comfort to gums, this is a go-to item for new parents. Don't forget teething gel, such as a handy, budget-friendly 10g tube from Anbesol. It helps your little one sleep easy when sore gums are an issue and is another product that costs little more than a few pounds at Chemist.co.uk. Stock up on teething toothpaste, too; there is plenty of choice on the website. What about Brush-Baby Teething Applemint Flavour Toothpaste? It's ideal for newborns, babies and toddlers and comes in a generous 50ml tube. And now for a treat... Bickiepegs Teething Biscuits for Babies come in a 38g pack and cost just £2.09. Why not prepare an emergency 'teething kit', which can be on hand as and when you and your baby need it? Remember: teething troubles do not last forever; stick with it and you and your baby will both be smiling in no time!https://www.chemist.co.uk/ http://Chemist.co.uk http://Chemist.co.uk
