    Teething Items for Infants or Toddlers

  1. Step 1

    For infant twins or singletons, the best thing that worked for my husband and I were the Gel Boo Boo Buddy available at your local grocery store or convenient store. These can be found in the baby section.

  2. Step 2

    Place these Boo Boo Buddies in your freezer until frozen. Take one out and place in your infants mouth to suck on. It is cold and your infant will not like this at first, but once your infant bites down on it (without teeth)it will make him/her feel much better.

  3. Step 3
    Hand towels or rags cut into two's should be used once an infant cuts teeth.

    Once your infant has begun to cut teeth, this Boo Boo Buddy will not be a good idea. Instead, a rag or hand towel cut into two pieces, placed under a faucet then placed in your freezer for a while will work wonders with infants who now have teeth and teething toddlers.

  4. Step 4
    Take the rag out of the  freezer and soften under a faucet.

    After the rags or hand towels have hardened in the freezer, take them out and place them under running water to soften them. Once softened, ring them out by hand and hand them to your twins or singleton babies or toddlers.

Tips & Warnings
  • These items are a real help to new mom's of twins or singleton babies. The rags or hand towel, if on hand, are cost-effective and can be used over and over again.
  • Remember, the Boo Boo Buddy is really for little Boo Boo's and not teething, but something my Mom thought would work for my twins girls; and they did.
  • Once your infant cuts teeth, stop using the Gel Boo Boo Buddy and use a hand towel or rag, cut into two pieces, instead for safety reasons.
