When your baby starts teething, it’s essential to provide them with safe and effective products to soothe their discomfort. Here are some recommended products:
1. **Teething Toys**: Look for BPA-free, easy-to-grip teething rings or toys. Silicone or rubber options are ideal as they are soft on the gums.
2. **Teething Gel**: Over-the-counter teething gels can help numb the pain. Ensure they are free of harmful ingredients like benzocaine.
3. **Cold Washcloth**: A chilled, wet washcloth can provide relief. Let your baby chew on it to soothe their gums.
4. **Teething Biscuits**: These are designed to be chewed on and can help massage the gums. Ensure they are made from natural, baby-safe ingredients.
5. **Amber Teething Necklace**: Some parents find that these help reduce inflammation and pain, though evidence is anecdotal.
6. **Cold Fruit or Veggies**: Cold, soft fruits like banana slices or cucumber sticks can be soothing and are safe for babies to chew on.
Always supervise your baby while they are using any teething product and consult your pediatrician for recommendations tailored to your baby’s needs.
