If you're not expecting...you'll probably want to skip this post. But I've had a lot of people ask me what we love, what we got but never use, etc. So here's the obligatory 'new mama blogger' series! :)
[
See Baby Gear:Basics and Baby Gear:Newborn for the beginning of this series]
We're in the heart of teething right now, so this is hot off the press.
Top 5 things to have on hand during teething...
[Amber Necklace] I know it's hard to believe, but I think this purchase has helped her the most. It's a natural way to help with nasty teething side effects [runny nose, pain, etc.]
[Sophie the Giraffe] SO annoying [nobody told me there are 55468249 squeakers in this toy before I purchased it] but it really is nice. Plus, when they're not teething they can still use it as a
n annoying little toy!
[Cold Packs] These are probably the most common thing I see people use. We have like 5 different shape/sized ones and she likes them. They're so cold they help with swelling and pain, but she
can't won't hold them herself, so they're not the most convenient!
[Teething Tablets] I was reluctant to give these to her at first, but lots of friend recommended them. I feel like they're instant relief for her. She usually falls right asleep after she gets one. Very handy, lots come in the bottle and they're [relatively] cheap.
[Teething Liquid] They're pretty much the same as the teething tablets above, except they're liquid. you can give these more frequently, but they're more expensive too.
Any other tricks you've used for teething?
