Teething:

Did anyone have any natural remedies that stop the pain and discomfort of teething, a reader wondered last time. Aloe vera gel has worked on one reader’s baby, as may the homeopathic remedy Chamomilla 6c, especially if the baby is fretful and bad tempered. Or try instead Roman chamomile essential oil, one drop of which should be diluted in two drops of lotion, and applied around the jaw line, behind the ears and on the forehead. Chamomile tea could also do the trick.
