Teething Baby’s Calming Tea Recipe
I am currently right at the thick of my 10-month-old’s teething phase. After a couple weeks of rest we are back at it again at full force for tooth #7.
Our usual go-to’s are over-the-counter homeopathic drops for any teething related fussiness and it works great, but I find myself going through boxes of Camilia drops so fast; and although the label says homeopathic, which I recommend, I still don’t actually know what it is in those magical drops.
Below is an herbal tea I was fortunate enough to come across that is now a staple at my house for teething. The best part? It is cost-effective and I know exactly what my daughter in consuming.
I find this remedy works wonders and I wish the same is for your little one, too. Here is to more restful nights *tea cups clink*.
