How to Soothe a Teething Child

Teething children can be fussy, cranky and certainly no fun to deal with.  However, you can give your child some much-needed relief with some of the best teething products on the market.  Check out your nearby baby supplies store such as ‘Babies ‘R’Us’ to find all of these products.

Teething children will love the ‘Luv n Care Pur Ice Bite Teether.’  These little triangles are shaped so that each corner has ice gel, and the sides are textured and easy to hold.  These are great options for children to soothe their aching gums.

Another great teething product for children are the classic ‘Hand and Foot’ teething devices.  These are manufactured by many different brands, but they’re really all the same.  They are filled with air and can be chilled in the freezer.  The textured surface is what counts – that’s what soothes the sore gums of children during teething.

‘Razbaby’s Razberry Teether’ is another great option for teething children.  This looks just like a pacifier, but is actually a hands-free teether.  The bulb is textured to help soothe those sore gums, and children do not have to hold it, either.  It combines a pacifier and a teether all in one.

Of course, there are homemade products you can choose if you prefer.  For instance, a frozen banana works very well for teething relief in children, and also provides a healthy snack.  A damp towel chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes can also work very well to relieve the teething pain from your little ones. 

Never give your child plain ice cubes to chew on, as they can choke on it, break sharp pieces off or develop ice burns from holding it for too long.  A piece of ice wrapped in a cloth and secured with an elastic band may be used with supervision.
