Skibz Teething Tips to Help Soothe Baby's Sore Gums.
At Skibz HQ the business of dribbling and teething is taken very seriously indeed.
Skibz was born out of necessity, ask any mother with a teething baby and they will tell you that it's no fun for baby's skin either!
Designed to be kind to skin and to protect babies during their teething months it's important to Skibz that your little one looks stylish too.
We asked some of you for your top tips and you didn't disappoint! Here is a quick guide to soothing sore gums and keeping your sanity during teething:
- Invest in a dribble bib. OBVIOUSLY, we would say this but it really is worth repeating. Skibz are designed specifically to soak up lots of moisture and lock it away from baby's skin, so no chafing or soreness. They also work well with any outfit so that your baby looks great and we all know that teething waits for no man. Your little one SHALL go to the ball (suitably dressed)
- Amber works well and there's lots of research out there to support that theory. Many parents believe that amber is a natural analgesic and swear by necklaces and anklets for their little ones. If you do decide to go for amber, make sure that your baby cannot harm themselves- go for reputable baby safe items only and supervise them at all times.
- Teething jewellery can work wonders for babies with sore gums. These are necklaces that you wear, that are safe for baby to pull on and chew without fear of them breaking.
- Baby paracetamol is often the first port of call for many parents, but there are also powders to rub on gums and gels that work effectively too. Give that a try and see what works best for you.
- Teething toys are also popular. Teetherz for instance are made from silicone, are soft enough for babies to chew to their heart's content, you can even attach these to a Skibz Doublez for 'on the go comfort'. Pop them into the fridge before use for an extra comfort chill. Yep, it's worth investing in a couple of teething toys
- There's teething mittens and brushes for little ones to chomp on. Brushes have the added benefit of not only brushing the teeth at the same time, but establishing a good oral hygiene routine right from the word go. Teething pain is caused by the collection of bacteria around the gum flaps, hence the need to keep area clean.
- Frozen bananas are a great soother for older babies. Pop half a peeled banana in the freezer and let your little one chew away. Ice pops are also great and these can even be made from breast-milk.
