Teething tip #2 - cold cloths

by Staff Writer

A clean flannel or slightly damp washcloth kept dry in the fridge can act to cool the face - Lil’ Duck loves to gnaw on it as well. He also tends to refuse a lot of fluids while teething, so this is a sneaky way to get a little more liquid into him. If I’ve forgotten to keep the cloths in the fridge, I stick them in the freezer for a few minutes to make them cold (but not hard) for quick relief.

About Parenting Toddlers

Raising a toddler is one of the most rewarding experiences. We learn just how much love we have in the deepest recesses of our hearts and just how deep the well of our patience can go with only three hours of sleep. We learn to see the world from a new perspective and we delight in the very basic achievements of our children. Amid their tantrums and shouting "No!" toddlers help us to stretch our imaginations and rediscover the books we enjoyed when we were children. Rebecca will share stories of her own children as toddlers, review parenting and children's books and offer suggestions for everything from potty training to catching bugs with a straight face. She will share craft ideas, fun activities, how to form a playgroup, nutrition for toddlers, development, adding a new sibling, your toddler as the youngest child, adopting a toddler and more.
