Do you know mama natural? I always find her site so informative & hilarious at the same time. Here's a brief video from her offering a few other natural options:


Taking our pediatrician's advice, for the time being we're staying away from oral medicine (homeopathics, flower esscences included); however there are some interesting options HERE.)

OR...
 you can take the path of the nonchalant mom, and make do with what ya got which is what we're doing right now since the whole teething adventure kinda sprung up early and out of nowhere. So for now it's chilled carrots, frozen organic washcloths, dada's fingers, and a little extra time on the boob (with Netflix and a glider, ain't no thang). So far, so good!

  1. I love the nonchalant mom way! I also put my finger in cold water a few minutes and it makes things even better for her (but not for my finger!). I have a Sophie and a wood teething toy but they are too big for a 4 months old. I also got a Finnish necklace when she is in her ergo. It is pretty nice. Have a lovely week. xox
