Baby teething

[RachaelM]

How do you deal with teething? My son is growing teeth ( How wonderful!!!) but i noticed that when the teeth start to grow he normally gets high fever, sometimes vomiting and passing very loose stool. is there a natural remedy for teething to prevent this from happening eveytime?

None of my children had any symptoms while cutting teeth. However I've read of other mothers who had children that experienced fever, vomiting and diarrhea while cutting a tooth.

Homeopathic remedies can be very effective in reducing pain and possibly the other symptoms your child is experiencing. Weleda Baby Teething Powder can be helpful.

We use homeopathic teething gel and amber necklaces around here. My first two were virtually symptom free, but my youngest does get very irritable and sometimes have loose stools. Have you made sure that the symptoms are not related to something else going on at the same time? Possibly an ear infection?

All the suggestions above are great natural remedies for teething. Also you could consider consulting a naturopath for some advise. Maybe a specific herbal or homoepathic rememdy may help. I am interested Mom2many how to the amber necklaces help?
