How to Make Teething Pops for your Baby

If your baby has been cranky, fussy, clingy and won't let you get anything done because he's teething give him a Teething Pop!

Sure you've heard of teething biscuits, teething crackers, and teething sticks...but what about a teething pop? Teething pops are basically pureed frozen food cubes (frozen in ice cube trays) with popsicle sticks sticking out of them. What you get is a frozen food pop that your baby can hold and suck on. The ice will help numb and soothe your baby's gums, and keep your baby entertained so you can get something done.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Popsicle Sticks
• Ice Cube Trays
• Zip Lock Bags
• Blender/Food Processor (if pureeing food)

1. Choose your desired fruit or vegetable to puree. Puree in food processor or blender to desired consistency, adding water when needed.

2. Pour puree in ice cube trays and put trays in freezer for 30 minutes.

3. Insert one popsicle stick in each cube. Put back in freezer for 24 hours to set.

4. Pop out teething pops transfer to zip lock bags and make more!

Tips & Warnings

• Teething Pop Ideas:
• Plain Water
• Sweet Potatoe Puree
• Apple Puree
• Pear Puree
• Blueberry Puree
• Strawberry Puree
• Apricot Puree
• Prune Puree
• Carrot Puree
• Squash Puree
• Cucumber Puree
• Zucchini Puree
• Use your imagination. Add 100% fruit juice to your puree mixture for a more flavorable experience. If you have a picky eater that will not eat vegetables, blend vegetables and fruits together. The fruit flavors will overpower the flavor of the vegetables and your baby or toddler will still get the nutrients from the vegetables.
