Making your life greener - one bite at a time.

If you can persuade baby to chew on a liquorice root (from the health food store) this may bring some relief

Cold carrot sticks / cold apple slices wrapped in muslin may help dull the pain and irritation

My beautiful treasure, Thierry, found organic cold whole dried bananas were great and tasty as well to suck on, as well we found muslin face washers soaked in a weak solution of chamomile tea and kept in plastic bags in the fridge were a great relief to suck on!

Rubbing the gums with your own clean finger can help or make up the following gum rub:

1 teaspoon slippery elm powder + warm pure water

Place the powder in a saucer and add water, a few drops at a time

Mixing with your fingertip 'til you have a smoth paste

Gently rub onto baby's gums
