If your baby is chewing on everything, drooling like there’s no tomorrow, or just generally unsettled… welcome to teething.
While every baby is different, there are a few common signs that those tiny teeth are on their way:
🍼 Common Signs of Teething
- More drool than usual
- Chewing fingers, toys, or anything they can grab
- Slightly red cheeks or chin rash from saliva
- Disrupted sleep
- Fussiness or clinginess
- Rubbing their ears or pulling at them
And yes — some babies show none of these signs and still wake up one morning with a shiny new tooth!
🌸 How to Soothe Teething Naturally
- Cool teethers — Refrigerated (not frozen) silicone teethers can bring relief.
- Gentle pressure — Let them chew safely, or rub their gums gently with a clean finger.
- Cuddles + distraction — Sometimes they just want your love and a change of scene.
- Aromatherapy balm — Our Hushie Teething Balm is blended with calming lavender and chamomile and something more (our secret remedy) — known for their soothing and anti-inflammatory properties. Just a gentle rub along the jawline or behind the ears can offer a moment of relief.
💭 What Mums Wish They Knew:
- “It comes in waves — just when you think it’s over, another tooth starts moving.”
- “The gums might not look swollen, but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.”
- “It’s okay to feel frustrated too. Teething can be hard for both of you.”
💬 "You’re not doing it wrong. You’re just doing something new."
Be kind to yourself — you’re both learning together.
