Belle's Biscuits

Teething babies are sad and miserable which makes us sad and miserable for them. We love our babies, and the last thing we want is them to be in pain. So we find ways to ease the pain.

Developed by a Pharmacist and his wife to help their little one cope with a difficult teething experience, Belle's Biscuits are a beneficial solution for parent when their toddlers are experiencing teething discomfort.

Belle's Biscuits are made from all organic natural ingredients from Maine.. and are PERFECT because they are Free from dairy, wheat, and soy. They have taken most allergies out already, you don't have to worry about your child being allergic to what's in them. (please read the label to ensure your child's allergies aren't in them) Belle's Biscuits also come in Gluten-Free! I love this about them. I sometimes have a hard time digesting certain things, so the comfort that I can purchase a Dairy, Wheat, Soy, AND Gluten-Free Vegan Teething Biscuit is wonderful all on it's own.

Belle's Biscuits are wonderful. You can even put them in the refrigerator/freezer if your child hasn't finished them. They stiffen back up and the cold helps relieve the pain and swelling! What a great bang for the buck. Seriously.

If you are looking for a teething food or healthy snack that will not only help with relieving the pain, but they taste good too, {yes I actually tried them!} you don't have to look any further.

BUY IT!! Belle's Biscuits come in Wild Maine Blueberry, Gluten-Free Maine Maple Spice, and Original Vanilla for $6.95 a box (6).

RiNGLEY Natural Teething Toys

Teething can be an extremely hard time in a baby's life, not only is it hard on them.. it's hard on parents too. Seeing your baby in pain is excruciating to watch.

So naturally we as parents want to help make the pain go away or at least manageable. We also want a natural way... Something without paints or plastic, or even harsh chemicals. RiNGLEY is a natural teether that combines two efficient teething tools: untreated Maple and 100% organic cotton terrycloth. These materials provide two very different textures that enable children to satisfy their teething needs.

RiNGLEY's design allows your child to easily grip the ring and cloth. RiNGLEY can be used wet or dry and easily reaches around a child's gums and teeth. RiNGLEY was designed with a child's development in mind. Since infants learn through tactile stimulus, touching and putting things in their mouths, the need for a product made without harmful chemicals and dyes is important. RiNGLEY is an organic and natural toy for babies to chew and teethe on.

My son started teething at 2 months! I wanted something natural, that actually helped. I obviously couldn't give him a teething biscuit at age 2 months.. RiNGLEY was wonderful and was exactly what he needed. Even though he couldn't always grip it, it sure helped, especially the terrycloth, to help ease the pain. He also found comfort in gnawing on the wooden ring without hurting his gums. {I even popped it in the refrigerator after wetting the cloth and it worked wonders, gave the cooling he needed while staying soft}

RiNGLEY is such a great teething toy. Definitely one of our favorites. The Maple wooden ring is amazing for sore gums, and if baby happens to bite with teeth it isn't going to harm them. Maple is a natural, anti-bacterial material. Thus, germs cannot multiply on its surface. Which is exactly the kind of teething ring you want to give your child.

BUY IT!! RiNGLEY are handmade in Toronto, Canada. And comes in four styles: knotted, straight, junior and ball. You can purchase these online at various stores at prices ranging from $14.95-$19.95

Snoedel

We (my family) are co-sleepers. And completely believe in it. It only made sense to review a Snoedel. Snoedels are blanket dolls (loveys) that are made from soft flannel to help absorb a parents scent, with the 100% natural doll fibers.

Snoedels help children sleep better alone. When ever you may think they are ready. Originally made for NICU babies, to comfort them while they grow, heal, and become stronger.

*Postmodern nursing is focusing on the critical balance between caring and curing, and refreshing the blend of holistic therapies with the technical aspects of modern medicine. As the costs to equip neonatal units rise dramatically, the Snoedel (priced under $25) could be implemented as the most cost-effective and non labor-intensive healing therapy in a NICU*.

Children will always sleep better if they know they are protected and comfortable. And smelling a parents scent while they sleep is comforting.

I believe the Snoedel helps with co-sleeping as well. Your child sleeps near you or with you and their lovey, which picks up your scent.. so when your child is ready to sleep by themselves, they can have an easier transition. Mommy hasn't abandoned them, she has simply made it possible for them to grow and sleep on their own.

My son loves his. He is still new so he sleeps with us and so does his Snoedel. We even use it while I breastfeed. He falls asleep and I am able to set him down with ease. Some nights he hugs it all night long. Whenever he naps, he sleeps with his Snoedel and sleeps great. I am happy that he feels safe enough to sleep comfortably.

Snoedel is just another beautiful gift to give your child. It's simple, it's comforting, and it's amazing to see what it can actually do by being near them.

BUY IT!! Snoedel can be purchased $24.95 through Snoedel.com. So whether you co-sleep, breastfeed, have a teething baby, and even a precious NICU baby. It's a great gift for your own child or even as a baby shower gift. Check all the colors. {they even make ones for toddlers for $39.95}

Tooth Tissues

When you have children you realize that sometimes things aren't as easy as they seem anymore. Showering every morning, sitting down to read a good book... children should take priority over the "can do things later" category, and often do.

Tooth Tissues make it easier to get things done with children, especially if you forget or simply run out of time. Running errands can turn into eating out for lunch instead of at home, and unless you bring your toothbrush with you all the time, your children and your own mouth is going to get "dirty."

Tooth Tissues are great because you can take them everywhere with you! Your purse, diaper bag, car.. anywhere. You can even use them on adults and children, not just babies. It leaves your teeth feeling smooth without having to brush after every meal. Tooth Tissues are a textured wipe that makes it easy to clean off the gunk that build up from milk/food on the teeth and gums.

These are especially perfect for babies, because they are soft on such delicate gums and teeth. Wiping off even the smallest amounts of residue is well worth the benefits that come with it. No more bottle rot.

I am obsessed with oral hygiene. I have very soft teeth and after some not so great dentist experiences, I was determined that my children would not have the same problems. Keeping a child's mouth clean can be a chore. That's why I was excited to review Tooth Tissues. Not only are baby teeth important it's essential to teach good oral hygiene as early as we can.

"Tooth Tissues are disposable textured dental wipes specially designed to help remove plaque from your baby and toddler’s teeth and gums. Tooth Tissues are perfect for busy new parents eager to get their child off to a healthy start. Formulated with xylitol – a natural cavity fighter, use Tooth Tissues with confidence because they are 99% natural, fluoride and paraben-free." ~Tooth Tissues.com

BUY IT!! Tooth Tissues can be purchased online directly or Target.com, Toysrus.com and few other stores for $6.99 a package.
