'Teething"... this hallowed little word has been known to raise quite a few eye brows among concerned moms and dads as they try to figure out ways to help comfort and relieve their little babies. When our little baby first started teething we did not know what to do... we asked our friends for their sage wisdom and we got more advice than you could shake a stick at. While they were all well meaning, no one was able to give us a simple answer. We also went on the internet and began researching teething and we found an avalanche of teething information... again, there was still no simple answer to how we could bring relief to our teething baby.

What we did find is that teething does effect babies differently, and we also discovered that you can glean from the collective global experiences of parents the world over to get a pretty good idea of what you can do to help your teething baby. Here are a few things that we have learned about teething from our baby... a cool object to chew on will really help your baby to soothe their teething gums. Teething rings really help in this area, only want to make sure that you find ones that do not have any liquid filling because this can be punctured by your baby's new teeth.

One of the joys of having a baby is that you get to hold and cuddle them, we find that during teething you may want to provide a little extra TLC (Tender Loving Care). Hugging and touching your baby can help them to calm a little during teething.

Do you have a teething baby? Have you been through the teething stage? Please feel free to post your experiences here... you can provide some help to that new parent who is still "green" so that they can get on the teething fast track.
