Mom's are alway looking for creative ways to soothe the teething pain and calm a fussy baby or toddler. One thing I always give Sofia is homemade popsicles. She can hold them on the tooth or gum herself and they taste good. Here is a simple recipe:
Frozen Yogurt and Fruit Popsicle
1 cup organic plain whole milk yogurt
1 organic banana
1 organic peach (fresh or frozen depending on time of year)
Puree fruits together in Cuisinart, add yogurt and blend together well.
Pour mixture into popsicle containers and freeze. If you don't have popsicle molds you can simply use small paper dixie cups or ice cube trays and popsicle sticks.
Some other great ideas:
1. Frozen Dried Apricots (depending on child's age) are great for them to suck on
2. Frozen Fruit like bananas or peach slices - again depending on a child's age
3. If your child uses a pacifier stick it in the freezer for a little while - not long enough to freeze completely.
4. Super soft frozen washcloth
5. Frozen Raspberries - this is one of Sofia's favorites.
