Tip 2: teething

Tip#2: Teething help

       Babies can be very fussy and irritable while teething. Some people say that its a old wives tale that children get fevers and diarrhea while teething. In my experience all of my kids got fevers and had diarhea.  

      I have tried many different thing to resolve my children's teething problems and each kid had different things that helped while they were teething. From teething rings or toys to frozen foods and also teething medicines they all work but which one works best for your child. Here are some of the things that worked for me.

      Teething rings and toys.

       While teething babies have a constant urge to chew on everything. Teething rings and toys are good. The best ones I have seen are rubber or plastic with gel in them with ridges and elevated designs. I wouldn't recommend putting these items in the freezer its actually too cold and causes the baby a burning sensation in the mouth.

      Letting the baby chew on your finger is always the babies favorite, but your hands need to be clean when they do. Also after the first tooth it starts to hurt the parent so its a temporary resolution for when your is first teething around 4 to 6 months old.

     When some of my kids where little we had a teething toy blanket it has a stuff animal on top holding a blanket at the bottom a rubber teether. My kids loved it in the car could chew the tether and cuddle the to the stuffed animaland fall to sleep. It was a life saver for car rides.

  Frozen foods always help

      Frozen foods are also good for the teething process the baby gets to chew while also getting some nutrition. The new baby feeders with the net on them are great for putting frozen fruits in for your baby to chew on. 

        I found that bananas and grapes are the best for teething. These fruit are the ones all of my children liked the best. Strawberries are good too! But many children are allergic to them. So be careful.

         Popsicles are also a great way to give your baby that chewing sensation with the right amount of cold to give your baby relief. I found that the popsicles with out the stick are best. Such as otter pops or even pedialite pops. The pedialite pops also help if your baby is one who seems to have diarrhea with the teething.

  Medicines the pros and cons       Medicines are always great for relieving the pain. Baby Tylenol works great for the pain and fever that comes along with teething. I also have used Motrin they seem to be just as effective. Also generic or store brands save you money and they work great.

     Numbing gel's such as origel work as a temp relief but only last an hour or two then back to putting more on. Also origel causes your gums to be tougher making it harder for the teeth to push through the gums.

    The teething tablets worked great but they lasted about 3 to 5 hours. Gums didn't get tough. My babies seemed to like taking them. The ones I used had cherry flavor and where all natural. You can get them at any grocery store.

     I hope these ideas and tips are helpful to all moms. Thank you for reading and have a blessed day

tip 1 diaper rash help

 Helpful tips for mom!

          Hello my name is Tonja. I was thinking that it would be great to share the tips I picked up along the way of raising 4 children,easy meals, Simple ways to save money,easy arts and crafts that are kid friendly and much more. So as a mom I know how hard it can be to raise kids run a house and work at the same time. So this is why I decided to write this.

 First tip: what to use when your babies bottom has a diaper rash that won't go away!

            My first tip came from just the other day. My littlest is a 8 month old and the poor thing had a horrible diaper rash and I had tried everything from powders to creams meant for diaper rash.  Nothing was working my poor baby was becoming raw on the bottom . I was contemplating going to the doctor but, then while doing some research online.I found 2 things that helped my baby almost over night
          The first thing that I came across that helped was something so simple it was coconut water.The drink tons of people are saying is great for your body is great for diaper rashes too! What you do is put some coconut water (make sure its 100% coconut water or this will not work) on a cotton ball gently dab on the rash after cleaning the babies bottom, then let the baby air dry for a few minutes. After a few applications you will notice the difference.
         The second thing I found you can find at stores like Walgreens and CVS. This item I have used for cracked skin multiple times, but never thought of it when it came to helping with diaper rash. The product I am talking about is "Bag balm". Originally this was made to put on the utters of cows. It works miracles on chapped or chaffing skin. It also is the best thing I have found for diaper rash. I put it on my babies bottom after showering him right before bed. When I changed the baby in the morning it was completely gone.

   I hope this first tip was helpful to other moms and possible some dads. If you liked the tip please follow me and tell your friends and check back for more tips I will try to put up as many as I can each week.
