What are some natural ways to alleviate teething pain?

Teething is a painful, and sometimes long process for babies. To alleviate some of the pain and discomfort, offer baby teethers made of silicone or teethers filled with water that go in the freezer. The frozen teether can reduce inflammation and feels good on sore gums. A wet washcloth stuck in the freezer for a bit will also work.

How do I get rid of my baby’s cradle cap?

Wash baby’s hair daily with a mild soap and scrub the scalp using a soft bristle comb. Gently move the brush around in small circles to remove flakes while the scalp is wet and soapy. Once out of the bath, comb baby’s hair again with a fine tooth comb to ensure the scalp is clean and flakes are loosened. You can also rub coconut oil or mineral oil on the scalp just before shampooing if the cradle cap is more severe. Ask your doctor about a medicated shampoo if the condition persists.

How do I clear congestion in an infant?

For infants who can’t blow their own nose, it’s important to suction their nose often to prevent congestion and discomfort. Add saline drops to the nose before suctioning to loosen the mucus. If they need additional support with congestion, set up a cool mist humidifier in their room. Also, make sure the infant drinks enough fluids throughout the day to stay properly hydrated.
