Teething.
Every mother's worst nightmare. Okay, that might be a little dramatic but teething is terrible. The drool, red cheeks and pain that causes a super grumpy babe… which then leads to a super grumpy mama.
Elliot is almost a year and a half and he has at least four molars coming in at once right now, so I figured it’s time to share my secret for all of you who might have a baby in your life or know someone who does. This protocol is what I used on Elliot from day one of teething, because it’s soothing and calming it has been a game changer!
I apply this blend on his jaw line every three hours during the day and before bed. This also works great on babies but for 12 months and under you will want to use this recipe which is even more diluted for that sensitive baby skin.
0-12 months teething blend
10 ml roller bottle
2 drops Roman Chamomile EO
2 drops Lavender EO
2 drops Frankincense EO
Fill the rest of the bottle with fractionated coconut oil
12+ months teething blend
10ml roller bottle
5 drops Roman Chamomile EO
5 drops Lavender EO
5 drops Frankincense EO
Fill the rest of the bottle with fractionated coconut oil
In addition to these oils I also had little frozen teethers, frozen berries and even just a frozen washcloth for him to chew on to ease the pain.
I am pretty sure this isn’t our last round in the teething circuit, so if you have other tips or tricks I would love to hear them! Comment below.
