Home Remedies for Teething of baby ( Symptoms and advice of Teething problem )

Home Remedies for Teething is the first chapter in a lifelong relationship that we will all encounter with our teeth.

This is the chapter to help prevent you from saying "I don't want this child, take him back to where he came from".

The beginning is when these little white monsters start trying to push through the gums.
Keep in mind that they have actually been developing for months before birth.

And by the time the baby is born the primary teeth are already there lurking in the gums and just waiting to cause havoc in you and your baby's life.
These teeth start coming through at about 6 months, and can be an extremely uncomfortable experience for both the parents and the infant.

Symptoms of Teething

Drooling always seems to be an indication of teething about to start, but experts say this is merely a production of more saliva by the child who has not yet mastered the art of swallowing it, rather than it being a sign of the teething.
chronic crying
irritability
loose bowel movements
irregular sleep patterns
Folk lore stories say that a classic symptom of teething is a red mark on one cheek.
Home Remedy for a Teething Ointment

If making a syrup for babies under one year DO NOT USE HONEY. Honey contains c.botulinum spores and the immune system in babies under 1 year of age is not yet developed enough to fend off this strain.
When the tooth starts coming through, strain the mixture and rub the syrup very sparingly on the gum. Do this gently but firmly.
Chamomile is a well known remedy for calming children.
Mom and Dad should probably have a cup of chamomile tea at the same time as chamomile helps to relax the nervous system.
