Getting Through Nighttime Teething
With Your Baby
Teething Gel Works Great!
Teething gel such as Ibuprofen or Tylenol can work very well, but always consult with a doctor before trying one of these. Applying the gel right after feeding should give 4-6 hours of relief, and many parents swear by it!
Keep Up The Sleep Routine
It can be tempting to abandon your sleep routine during this painful process, but you may find that if you ease up, your baby could abandon their sleep routine entirely.
Breastfeed More Frequently
Nursing helps to soothe the baby’s gums, so you may find them wanting to breastfeed more frequently.As long as it’s not excessive, nursing a little more should not hurt your baby’s sleep routine.
Purchase Some Teething Toys
Teething toys can be a lifesaver, and we plan on releasing our own in the near future.For now, there are a ton of options available - so stock up on a few different toys, and consider picking up our pacifier clips as well, which will prevent your little one from dropping the teething toys on the ground and getting them dirty!
Keep Them Cool
Your baby’s temperature will rise while they are teething.Many parents recommend keeping the room temperature between 61 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 20 Celsius.)If your baby’s temperature is over 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit (37.5 degrees Celsius) then they should be taken to a doctor.
Soothe Your Baby’s Bottom
Because babies dribble a lot more during teething, they will also go to the bathroom much more frequently. Diaper rash cream can help to make this less uncomfortable for your little one.
Stay Calm Yourself!
You may want to cry along with your baby, but remember that they can pick up on your anxious or worried feelings, and feel that way themselves.Staying calm yourself will help them calm down a bit as well, which is good for you both!
