My poor baby is teething and seems to be in a lot of pain. She can’t eat as much as she usually does and drools more too.
I didn’t notice her teeth coming out until my mum pointed it out! As soon as I knew, I looked in her mouth to see if it is swollen and if there are more coming out at the same time. Its the most painful for them when the teeth starts cutting through the gums.
- I rubbed a tiny bit of Melaleuca/Tea tree oil diluted with fractionated coconut oil (Tea Tree Touch oil is already prediluted) on her gums to help numb it periodically. I apply it especially before eating to reduce the pain. Dilute 1 drop of tea tree to 10 drops of fractionated coconut oil or use a tiny amount of tea tree (melaleuca) touch and apply directly on sore gums every 2 hours.
- I use diluted Siberian Fir oil or Lavender Touch oil on her jawline to reduce and relieve her pain and irritation. Blend 10 drops of tea tree, 5 drops of lavender, 5 drops of siberian fir with 2 tsp of fractionated coconut oil (10mls) and apply onto the jawline every 2 hours.
- For Fevers, I cool her down with diluted Peppermint oil (15 drops of peppermint oil with 2tsp of fractionated coconut oil (10mls) or prediluted Peppermint Touch on her forehead, back and bottoms of feet every few hours.
- For Skin Irritations especially around the cheeks and chin, see my blend here. Apply this blend on location every 3 hours until it’s gone.
For babies from 3 months, dilute oils 1:10, 1 part oil, 10 parts coconut oil. You can dilute it less the older they get. Alternatively, just touch the top of the oil bottle and mix a little coconut oil then apply.
I’m so glad I have these oils to help my kids go through their growing stages and knowing that it’s 100% natural and the Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade puts me at ease. Many other teething products are laden with chemicals advising us to rub it on their gums which they will ingest. No thanks!
She was whinging a lot and wanted me to hold her all day. It was tough to hold her all day but she was this cute big baby and was so content and happy that I was there to comfort her. Makes me so grateful to have these moments with her before she grows up and won’t let me hug her 😔 . I’ve now got some serious biceps haha 💪🏼.
This oil is prediluted with Fractionated coconut oil and is called Melaleuca Touch if shipped from the U.S and is called Tea Tree Touch if shipped from Australia.
