Teething can be a particularly trying time for both babies and parents. Most babies will begin teething around 6 months, however every child is different and teething symptoms can vary considerably.
The good news is that parents can do something to help ease the discomfort of teething, as well as teething rings, toys and homemade remedies such as breastmilk lollies, there is also a gentle, natural remedy that has been trusted by generations of parents for over 150 years! The remedy is Ashton & Parsons Teething Powders (£7,00, 30 sachets, Boots) a UK-made, multi-award winning, traditional herbal remedy, containing tincture of Matricaria (a flowering plant related to Chamomile), used for the symptomatic relief of teething pain and the symptoms associated with teething.
Ashton & Parsons have also launched a local anaesthetic-free Teething Gel (£5.00, Boots), with a specially designed soft brush applicator to help gently massage the gel onto baby’s gums. There it quickly forms a barrier to help relieve baby’s teething pain, help reduce discomfort and help lessen pain.
Both treatments are simple to use and apply and are easily portable, so whether you’re at home, out at the shops, or taking your baby on a playdate, you can keep these trusted remedies close at hand all the time, so you’re covered for whenever and wherever teething pain strikes.
