Mums Baby Magazine is always on the look out for top tips upon teething to tell our readers. Teething seems to be a constant bug bare for infants which parents consistently battle. Leeanne, from Australia explains why Hylands Teething Relief Tablets are now an essential within her household.

My eleven month old daughter is in the throws of teething right now and is cutting both top and bottom teeth all at once, so my once happy girl is now miserable due to teething.

My little girl once had a fantastic sleeping schedule but thanks to teething that is now all over the place.  My little girl is gnawing on anything and everything she can get hold of with gusto.

I’ve just recently been recommended  Hylands Teething Relief Tablets by friends. They are a natural homeopathic product and are suitable for infants and children, so there is no need to worry about putting too many chemical products onto your child’s gums.

They are very small dissolvable tablets and are very easy for babies to take. You can either dissolve them using water on a spoon, or as I do, just pop them into your little ones mouth. My daughter happily takes these tablets and as soon as she sees them she opens her mouth ready. The bottle contains 125 tablets and is inexpensive thus ideal for Mums on a budget.

I’ve been giving my daughter Hylands Teething Relief Tablets for one week and I believe that they have made a difference to my daughters teething troubles. The first day that my little girl used these tablets she was so grizzly and clingy and now, only seven days later this has eased. My daughter’s sleeping (particularly her daytime naps) are almost back to her normal sleeping patterns, her grumpiness has eased and she’s generally her happy self again. I only wish I’d found this product sooner. I will now keep a bottle of these on hand at all times.

Hylands Teething Relief Tablets and Teething Relief Gel are both available within the UK however aren’t readily found in shops. The UK equivalent of this product is ‘New Era’ Teething Tablets and is found in Holland Barratt stores retailed at £5.05 for 450 tablets.

Mums Baby Magazine would recommend that you discuss any medication used with your infants with a health advisor/ GP.

Originally made in 1961, The ‘Sophie the Giraffe Teething Toy; by Vulli (a company based in the French Alps) has been and still is one of the most popular teethers available in Europe for over forty years. The reason for its popularity isn’t due to media coverage but simply the fact that this product provides infants with a durable teether which is easy to grip, soft when chewed upon, has a range of textures according to which part of her body the baby decides to chew upon and finally squeaks for added entertainment.

Animal prints such as giraffe spots, zebra stripes, cow splodges and tiger stripes are all popular with infants as they are patterns without hard edges. Infants are fascinated by contrast differences which spots, stripes and splodges feature.

‘Sophie the Giraffe’ is made from natural rubber and painted with non-toxic paint. The ‘Sophie the Giraffe Toy’ is available from www.amazon.co.uk for only £11.95.

Teething can be an emotionally draining time for both baby and parent. Babies naturally crave something to suck and gnaw at to help reduce sore gums from the pain of teeth coming through. Most teethers are a solid shape and babies tend to flick them in and out of their mouth as they enjoy touching and grasping items. This can upset the baby as it seems that the teether is suddenly removed from their mouths.

The Tommee Tippee Puzzle Teether is a flexible twisting toy with a variety of textures which babies are able to have in their mouths whilst moving the teether around in their hands.

The teether is multicoloured and contains beads for children to shake and create sound or simply watch the movement of. The teether also has four rings which are able to move freely around the twisting puzzle teether for babies to pull, grasp and touch.

Available for £4.88 from www.childsplaysussex.co.uk the Tommee Tippee Puzzle Teether is a fantastic learning aid for young babies with the multiple colours, textures and moving shapes.
