If you're a mom in the thick of teething—I see you. The drool, the fussiness, the sleepless nights... it's a lot. I’ve tried countless teething remedies with my son, and while every baby is different, these are the few that actually made a difference for us. Here’s what worked (and what I’d do again in a heartbeat).
🥶 1. Cold Foods
Soothing and safe relief from the inside out
Cold food was a lifesaver for us. Whether it was the temperature or the gentle pressure, these made teething a lot more manageable:
- Celery stick or scallion — surprisingly effective and easy to hold!
- Frozen fruit popsicles — blended with breast milk or yogurt for a soothing, tasty treat
⭐ Effectiveness Rating: 8/10
💧 2. Camilia Teething Drops
Homeopathic relief, ready to go
These individually packaged teething drops are easy to use and travel-friendly. I used Camilia up to 6 times a day, as needed, during rough teething spells. They’re a great natural option that helped settle my son when he was really fussy.
⭐ Effectiveness Rating: 7/10
🦷 3. Teething Tools & Textures
Simple, soothing, and baby-safe
A few tools that we kept in constant rotation:
-
Banana Toothbrush Teether — soft silicone + perfect texture for sore gums
- Wet washcloth (chilled in fridge) — fold and twist it into a stick-like shape for them to chew on
- Freezer-safe teething rings — some babies love the chill, others don’t (mine did!)
⭐ Effectiveness Rating: 9/10
💤 4. As a Last Resort… Tylenol
Yes, even crunchy moms, hear me out
When the pain was keeping him up at night, our family doctor gently reminded us that it’s okay to use medicine when truly needed. A single dose of Tylenol before bedtime helped him sleep through some of the worst teething nights — and gave me a few precious hours of rest too.
Disclaimer: Always consult your paediatrician before giving your baby any medication.
⭐ Effectiveness Rating: 10/10
