Massaging the tender gums with hones becomes very useful not only to minimize but also to prevent the discomforts. This works, only if you start the massage early, like from 4-5 months of age.

  • For this get unfiltered and natural honey. Clean your hands properly and take 2 drops of honey on your index finger.
  • Apply and massage on the upper and lower gums. Do this twice a day.

For me it really worked, touch wood, but this made the teething so easy in my baby that I didn’t know when he got his cute and pearl teeth. If your baby is also 4 or 5 months, then start using it right now.

If he/she is 6 then still you can start, it may give little fewer results as you have started it little late.

2. Gripe water-

Gripe water is a very good thing when it comes about teeth eruption in babies. Even doctors too suggest using this while teething. It helps to prevent colic, stomach gas, and constipation; which are very common during teething.

Personally, I used Woodward gripe water for my son when he was in his teething period. Not just in, I use it once in a while in order to keep the digestion well and okay.

3. Teethers and sticks of Carrots and Cucumbers-
