Teething is the process by which an infant’s teeth sequentially appear by breaking through the gums. This can be a very painful period for your baby. By reading and implementing strategies from the "Teething" app, you can help ease your baby's discomfort and ensure they thrive better during this challenging time.

Features of the Teething App

As of April 17, 2015, the app has been completely re-written from the ground up. Instead of just providing information on measures to undertake and remedies to apply, the app now allows you to group one or more of the listed 9 symptoms into a special list called "List 1". These symptoms include:

Drooling
Gnawing and Biting
Swollen gums
Teething Rash
Not Sleeping Well
Irritability and Restlessness
Diarrhea
Ear Pulling
Signs of Cold and Low Fever

Selecting Remedies and Treatments

Once you have identified the symptoms, you can select one or more remedies or treatments from the following three groups:

Food & Comfort Items

Freezing breast milk, chamomile tea, or plain water cubes
Teething soothers
Teething blankets
Teething toys
Baby teething amber necklace

Antinflammatory Remedies

Teething gels

Homeopathic Remedies

Chamomilla
Belladonna
Calcarea Carbonica
Calcarea Phosphorica
Magnesia Phosphorica
Pulsatilla
Sulphur
Apis Mellifica

Homeopathic Mixtures

Gentle Naturals Homeopathic Teething Drops

Tracking Progress

With the app, you can track the progress of your baby’s teething pain by comparing "List 1" with the current state of your baby. If a symptom disappears, simply remove it from the list. Similarly, "List 2" provides an agenda of remedies and measures to take. For instance, you might need to buy a remedy, a teething toy, or a blanket, and these tasks will be listed there. Remove the row once the task is completed.

Ongoing Support

As new teeth continue to emerge, you can use the app to reassess the situation, identify symptoms, and find appropriate remedies. The app is designed to be a go-to resource whenever your child experiences teething pain.
