The problem of the teething stage
When babies are three to six months old, they start drooling all over the place, making strange faces, wanting to bite everything, and having sudden, inexplicable cries, and that's when you realize they're "mouthing..."
His gums are red and swollen. Someone tells you they used some gum gels at one point, but something happened and they said they weren't good for him. Would you like to know more?
KidsMe self-feeders, like this one or this larger one, prevent choking and allow for the first contact with solid foods. When they start eating larger pieces, you can use this special XL nipple .

Another day we'll talk about Baby Led Weaning and the many benefits of teaching children to eat solid foods from a young age.
Indeed, in June 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a safety warning about lidocaine-based medications used to treat teething pain. It highlighted the limited or no benefit of using these medications, as they disappear from children's mouths in a matter of minutes.
Back in 2011, the same agency issued similar advisories about the use of benzocaine for children's gum pain, seriously warning about the potential for life-threatening conditions. You can read all the information about those warnings here .
It's clear that these gels aren't safe to use, nor are they recommended as a remedy for teething pain. So, what's the best way to help babies and their parents during this difficult time?
- Use a teether that meets all safety requirements. If necessary, put it in the refrigerator for a while to keep it cool, but make sure it's not frozen before giving it to your baby.
- Gently rub or massage your gums with your finger to try to relieve symptoms.
- Use fruits and vegetables (apples, carrots, etc.) for your baby to chew on. Use self-feeders to prevent swallowing large pieces.
