Safe and Natural Family Remedies for Teething Babies that we tried and helped.

Teething can be a tough phase for both babies and parents. The discomfort, fussiness, and drooling can make even the calmest baby restless. While teething gels and over-the-counter remedies are available, many families prefer natural and safe home remedies to help ease their baby’s discomfort.

Here are a few gentle, effective, and time-tested remedies but remember Finding What Works for Your Baby is key

Teething can feel like a long process, but using safe and natural remedies can help soothe discomfort and keep your baby happy. Every baby is different, so experiment with these remedies to see what works best and ALWAYS check with your pediatrician.

1. Green Onions for Teething Relief

Green onions (also known as scallions) contain a natural compound that helps numb the gums, providing gentle, natural relief. The coolness of the onion also soothes inflammation. Surprisingly, many babies don’t mind the taste or smell!

Ways to Use Green Onions for Teething:

✔ Grilled & Peeled: Lightly grill or cook the green onion in a dry pan until the outer layers turn slightly black. Peel away the outer layers until you reach the thin, soft, white center. Then, gently rub it on your baby’s gums.

✔ Frozen: Place a clean scallion in the freezer for 15-30 minutes (not completely frozen, just cold). Then, use it to rub on your baby’s gums for a cooling and numbing effect.

2. Cold Washcloth Teething Remedy

A soft, damp washcloth chilled in the refrigerator or freezer can work wonders.

✔ Simply wet a clean cotton washcloth, twist it into a small roll, and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
✔ Let your baby chew or suck on the cloth for a soothing effect.

The cold relieves swelling, while the texture provides gentle counter-pressure to aching gums.

3. Chilled Fruits & Veggies (Baby-Safe)

For babies who have started solids, cold fruit and veggies can double as both teething relief and a tasty snack.

✔ Cucumber slices, chilled banana pieces, or peeled apple slices can be placed in a baby feeder mesh or silicone teether.
✔ Always supervise closely to prevent choking.

The cold temperature numbs the gums, and the chewing helps teeth break through the surface more comfortably.

4. Teething Massage

Sometimes, all your baby needs is a gentle gum massage to relieve pressure.

✔ Wash your hands and use a clean finger to apply slight pressure on your baby’s gums.
✔ Massage in small, circular motions for instant relief.

This can be especially effective before naps and bedtime when teething pain is at its worst.
