Many parents take a two-step approach when it comes to teething medicine. They apply a fast-acting, topical numbing agent frequently throughout the day, while limiting the use of an internal longer-lasting anti-inflammatory for the night. Now there’s Camilia, an ?all-you-need? teething solution. Camilia is a safe, quick-acting liquid that works on painful gums and irritability without side effects, so the whole house is at peace both day and night. Camilia is also formulated to address minor digestive disorders associated with teething. While there is a debate on whether teething causes diarrhea, the fact remains that many parents report diarrhea, which can then lead to diaper rash, in conjunction with teething. One of the theories is that since babies drool a lot, more saliva is passing through their systems, diluting nutrients and adding more acidic content to the mix. It is normal that stools contain enzymes that help digest food. During teething, stools pass through the intestines more quickly thanks to the copious saliva and take with them more acidic matter. The enzymes affect the soft skin of a baby’s bottom, resulting in a rash that can be irritating or painful.
Having a little one in the house again means we are experiencing the many loves of parenthood all over again. The diapers, the sleepless nights, the constant laundry and now….the pain of teething.
Our little Ellie, who is now 4 months old, has been displaying the signs of teething for the last month and it has increased more in the last week. You can see her puffy little gums, her need to gnaw at things, the never ending drool and her constant screams of OMG!MYMOUTHISKILLINGME!
We have always used a gel for teething to help numb the gums and take the pain away. However it makes it difficult to nurse a baby who has no feeling in their mouth and cannot latch on and it does not take the pain away for very long resulting in a lather, rinse, repeat type of situation.
This time around we have been using Camilia with Ellie. Camilia, made by Boiron, is a natural form of relief of symptoms of teething and it also helps relieve minor digestive disorders that are often times associated with teething as well. The great thing about Camilia is that you purchase it in ready to use doses that are premeasured and ready to go. You can repeat as needed every 15 minutes for 2 more doses. Camilia works naturally, is safe with no side effects and comes in sterile single-use liquid drops.
So far, Camilia seems to be doing the trick and helping our little peanut deal with the pain of cutting those teeth and we are just looking forward to seeing her smile with them!
