Soothing
- Infants Tylenol – when NOTHING else works, or for fever!
- Mylicon – if baby is kicking her legs, and fussy, she might be gassy.
- Hylands’ Homeopathic Teething Tablets – these really do help, almost instantly! Use when baby is really drooly, wants to chew, and is fussy.
- A cold teething ring often helps
- Swaddling Blanket - sometimes removing the option of squirming with a younger baby is comforting for them
- Pacifier, or thumb – this is up to the child!
- Our daughter really likes hand knitted blankets, a sort of “security” blanket. She has picked out a favorite - a teal one her grandma made for her.
- Nurse your baby, carry your baby, play music, take a walk OUTSIDE.
- Sometimes distraction works well. Come up with something that seems TOTALLY AMAZING to your baby. You can always try performing the "chicken dance" which ALWAYS worked for our daughter!
