Teething time...again!

It is only a matter of time before Logan has a full mouth of toofers (my child speak for teeth). He cut his first tooth at 3 months, but it went back down and didn't make another appearance until 5 months. That was his front right bottom tooth. A week later he had his second tooth. This was the front left tooth on the bottom. Love discovering new teeth. I always wash well before putting my hand in his mouth. These teeth are looking great and pearly white, I guess that's one reason they call them milk teeth.

We have Logan wearing a teething necklace like the multicoloured one here. The multicoloured one didn't seem to work as well as the butter coloured one. The lighter the colour of the amber, the more succinic acid there is to be absorbed by the body. Amber has been used for many years in places like Europe for helping many different ailments. The body heats up the amber, releasing the succinic acid and this helps to calm the baby's teething symptoms. It has analgesic and anti inflammatory properties. We noticed a difference in Logan as soon as he began wearing it.

We got ours here. Logan is the fourth picture in their photo gallery.

He was still somewhat drooly and unhappy so we used this necklace with homeopathic camilia drops and it worked really well. He slept better, was not as cranky during the daytime and no longer shoved his hand in his mouth constantly. We also put ice cubes into a mesh eating contraption so he can chew on that and freeze the area without being concerned about choking. He LOVES being able to do this! We're glad too we can keep him happier naturally!

What do you do to help your little ones with their teething troubles?
