first , get a smoothie :) let the teething begin! .Angel began teething at 2years old months and hasn't stopped yet:) She is wonderful and I am told how lucky I am all the time. I watched twelve teeth tear right through her little gums without a fuss. Then came the molars. Ugh. Poor angel just wanted to be held all
day and refused to eat anything but carrots & celery .
This went on for about 3 days before I began to worry. Upon my own research and the advice from her toy nurse ,
, I learned how to help her be a little more comfortable as those last teeth come in. In case you're going through the same thing here are some tips and tricks I've used: In the beginning, I would apply pressure and gently massage her gums regularly and often she would chew on my good ol' fashion (freshly washed) fingers but then she got more teeth..so we tried other natural remedies such as: Frozen teething rings, at first she really liked them, now she needs something harder. Vibrating teethers were her favorite for awhile too. Raspberries or a regular pacifier. Angel
had no interest in the raspberry but almost always wants her "binky" at night. Wooden teething necklaces and toys are great for gnawing on. Etsy.com is a great place to get one. Always make sure any toys you let your little one put in their mouth are way too big for them to choke on. Now you might think this next one is gross, and at first so did I, but just trust me for whatever reason... fresh green onion works on a close watch.It bums the baby's teeth and makes it so that she can not swallow it . Only allow your baby to chew on it.
When the pain becomes too much for them, try Hylands teething tablets, they work like a charm! I've also tried mesh feeders, frozen wash cloths, and gum brushers, none were effective for Angel Now days, Angel just chews on her own fingers mostly and that's okay by me. By the way, not wanting to eat is completely a normal phase infants go through.like water or carrot smoothies It hurts to chew so they would rather not. Just continue to offer healthy foods and when they are ready to eat, they will:) Good luck!;) Email This BlogThis!

Anyone who knows me knows I like to research everything before buying anything. So needless to say, when I had pizza so say I needed to be informed of what was best for her. It opened my eyes to a whole world that I never knew existed! So many different brands and styles of absolutely everything! It was completely overwhelming but I got through it. I just assumed I would breastfeed until she wanted to stop and then I would make my own baby food. Simple enough, I thought. Well when breastfeeding turned out to be nearly impossible for me after 9 months I was completely depressed. I tried everything and I mean everything. I just stopped producing enough milk for her. I came to grips with the fact that my plan had withered. What was I going to do now? I hadn't even researched formulas. Well on to google I went. For the next 6 months Angel was on a very good formula and began eating . My sister
and I made the decision that Angel would eat all organic. I buy the groceries so I do the most research and I have tried and tested a ton of different foods. I have come to realize, although a bit more pricey, organic food is so much better for your body. And you can't put a price on my daughters health. I remember reading an article that said that a childs palet is formed in the first 3 years. If they never ate junk food they would never have a taste for it and in the long run would basically only want the healthy food you fed them. (YAY!) I can only hope that is true. Grocery shopping is no easy task but it is worth it. I typically have to shop every week (healthy foods go bad so fast, darn it!) at stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, Fresh N Easy, Trader Joes and of course our trusty farmers markets. Here are some healthy meal ideas (and some of Angel's favorites) from my family to yours: Organic french toast, organic apples and strawberries wih organic yogurt. (almond milk) Gluten-Free Spinach Alfredo, Light Cesar Salad... Gluten Free, Wheat Free, Dairy Free Waffles with Organic Strawberries & Organic Rasberries Gluten Free, All natural chicken nuggets with organic ketchup, organic apples & naval oranges Organic Egg whites topped with Gluten Free, Organic Turkey Sausage, Organic Berries and Half of a Organic Banana.
I also discovered suja ? With : Lemon kale spinach parsley mint and ..Celery ? Yuck !😝😫noo!
