INGREDIENTS: Thanks to Heather Favelo [son1shine@yahoo.com] for the
update on HONEY.
INSTRUCTIONS: The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that honey should not be added to the food, water, or formula that is fed to infants

Ingredients: waffles, frozen waffles
Instructions: When Heaven was teething she would brake through 4 teeth at a time. We tried the vanilla, wet cloths, suckers, everything we could think of but they would only work for a minute or not at all. Then one day her older brother Jason was eating a waffle. She was crying sohe thaught she wanted one to. So he went to get her one and i thaught "WHY NOT". I was willing to try anything at that point. Anyway she started biting on it and she stoped crying. She loved it. She got mad when i tried to take it away from her. It would numb her gums and she liked it and i liked the fact that i had found something that worked. That was 10 years ago and she still gets mad if i try to take her waffles.lolp.s. They are also GREAT for catching the slobber that comes with teething.Hope this helps

Ingredients: Water
Bay Leaves
Honey or sugar
Instructions: Add 1 tsp. sugar (or honey) to 8 oz. water.Bring mixture to a boil.Remove from stove.Break up 3 bay leaves into the sweetened hot water.Cover and let it steep until it comes down to a safe, warm temperature. Strain off leaves and pour "tea" into a baby bottle.
Serve to baby while warm. This breaks up the gas and the bad bowel that often comes with teething in minutes. Great for babies comfort and parent's sanity.

Ingredients: Green Onions


I got this when my son was teething from an old Indian neighbor. Get a bunch of green onions and wash them thoroughly. Give the baby just the dark green end and let them chew on it. Something about the natural astringents naturally numb the gums, it is a little slimy when they are done with it and if they happen to swallow a little of it, it won’t hurt them. This was a life saver!!!!! I was going crazy with his teething we tried the binky in the freezer we tried everything!!! This worked like a charm. Email me your opinions when you try it.

Ingredients: vanilla extract
Instructions: Apply to baby's gums, it has to be the pure vanilla extract, the imitation will not work. Allow baby to chew on a frozen, clean washcloth, one that hasn't been used for anything else.Also a warning about baby orajel products, they have an ingredient that
will STOP a babiesheart!!!!! In my opinion I would never, ever use this for a baby.
