A tooth visible below the gum
Chewing everything.. nothing is off limits!
Irritability or fussiness, wanting to be held
Trouble sleeping
Refusing to eat
Rubbing face and ears
You either feel bad for them or want to kill them! (These are two key homeopathic remedies to watch for)
Homeopathic teething remedies

Camila teething relief is a popular teething product for children combining three homeopathic remedies for pain and inflammation. It would also help reduce recurring ear infections. Served in a liquid pouch, it's easy for administrating to babies. Keep in mind, this is a blended formula so it may or may not work for you. And always, watch for symptoms BEFORE dosing.
Chamomile tea for teething
Alternatively, you can make a cup of chamomile tea or use a chamomile tincture to reduce the teething pain.
To make a cup of tea: Take 1 tsp. of dried Chamomile tea to 1 cup of boiling water. Cover and let steep 5-7 minutes. Sweeten with maple syrup for children under 1 year of age or raw honey for children over one year. Cool it down with an ice cube and add to their bottle or place a facecloth in the tea and put in the refrigerator for the baby to suck on.
Tinctures for teething
Tinctures are fast and effective when used properly. Consider Herb Pharm Chamomile tincture to reduce pain and inflammation naturally.
How to get a teething baby to sleep
Momma's sleep deprivation usually begins when your little one starts teething. Homeopathic remedies should work to help your baby get to sleep faster. If they do not, you can try a glycerine tincture to help them relax.
Herb Pharm fast asleep works well with homeopathy to encourage a good night's sleep. Double-check the dosing based on your child's age and weight.
