Teething discomforts: What’s the best relief?

Babies will go through many developmental stages as they grow up, and one of these is the teething stage. It’s when their first set of teeth begin to cut through their gums. It may be quite an adorable sight for parents, to see their baby’s tiny pearly white showing through the gums. But unfortunately, it’s no fun for the baby!

A baby’s teething period is both joyous and nerve-wracking. The baby is looking so cute with that first tooth trying to peek out from his or her gums, but at the same time, the baby’s gums feel itchy, hurts and feels uncomfortable. Ironic, yet those are the facts that every parent has to face and manage. Babies, after all, depend on their parents to soothe and care for them when they are in pain, or are in need of comforting.

There are a few ways for parents to help their babies ease teething discomforts, and these include the use of teething gels to temporarily numb the area, as well as teething toys for the little one to gnaw on. Another albeit tasty way that parents can help their baby deal with teething pains is by letting them munch on teething rusks. There are a variety of brands out there that parents can choose from, but are they all the same, and does the choice of teething rusk matter? Yes, they do, and there are a few reasons for that.

What you should know about teething rusks
Just walk through the baby food aisle at a supermarket, or just enter the word baby rusk on your preferred online search engine and you’ll probably be greeted by scores of the item from various brands. If you are concerned enough as a parent, the ingredient list will be the first thing you’ll check out before making a purchase. If you haven’t given much thought to that before, you’d be surprised to find that even in foods meant for babies, such as teething rusks, unhealthy ingredients such as non-natural additives and also sugar are used as part of their recipe. Unfortunate, but oh, so true! In fact, it’s not even uncommon to find that artificial flavouring, colouring, and even GMO ingredients have been added into some brands of teething rusks.

There is one name, however, that parents have trusted for a long time, for its wholesome ingredients as well as its overall good quality, and that is, Raffety’s Garden. Here’s why…
