In my last clip I covered homeopathic teething tablets, in this clip I'm going to talk about, other types of homeopathic relief for babies, from teething. The first one I'm going to start with is the homeopathic teething gel. This one's different, from the other ones, on the market, because it doesn't necessarily numb your baby's mouth. What happens, with those traditional ones, is that, if you put them on your finger or the Q-tip and you're putting them in the baby's mouth, inevitably they're going to move their tongue, to whatever you're putting in their mouth and their tongue goes numb and then it spreads it all over their mouth, so the whole mouth gets numb. That's not a very comfortable feeling for adults, much less babies, and they don't understand what's going on so it probably actually makes them unhappy. I like the teething gel because it has natural products, in it, that just ease the discomfort, it doesn't make their whole mouth numb. You can use this in two ways. You can either use your finger or a Q-tip and what you're going to do is use about one quarter inch, little strip, on your finger tip, you can also use a Q-tip and I'll show that, in just a minute. You just come in and you put it in the baby's mouth and rub it on the gums or, wherever the baby's teething. If you're not sure, you can put it all over their gums. This is nice because they will start to calm down and if they've been really fussy and unhappy, they may even fall asleep and take a nap or eat, if they have been refusing to eat. When you use a Q-tip, it's basically the same thing. You just take your Q-tip out, put a little dab, on the end of the Q-tip and then put the Q-tip in the baby's mouth and wipe it around on their gums, with the Q-tip. Other remedies, that I like, are the teething relief. This one is by Natural Bio and I really like it because it's a liquid, it seems to act really quickly and we've gotten great feedback from parents on this, as well. It's very easy to administer and because it is liquid, you're going to give them point five millimeters, of the medicine. You're just going to fill up the whole syringe and then squeeze it down to the point five millimeter line and then that's how much you're going to give the baby. When you give it to them, you don't want to put it straight into their mouth, like this, because when you release the medicine, you don't want them to choke on it. You want to put it towards either one of their cheeks and release it into their cheek and that way it kind of floats around in their mouth and then they can naturally just swallow it. Another nice one is Grape Water. People are familiar with this from using it with their young babies for colic but it's also really good for teething, as well. This is a liquid, as well, and it comes with a syringe for administering, which makes it really easy, two. Either one of these, any of these, are really great for helping the baby to ease their discomfort, from teething, and distract them, a little bit, from it as well.
