Awesome way to soothe sore teething gums!!

Put ice cubes or frozen juice that was frozen in ice cube trays into a MESH FEEDER.

LM loves it, and it soothes her gums better than any teething ring.

Just be sure to put a bib on them that will absorb the liquid that drips. I use those bibs that have the plastic back and the material front.

LM will seriously go to town on a couple of ice cubes in that mesh feeder all day! I keep refilling it, and when I take it to refill it, she has a hissy fit until she gets it back.

Great Idea! Thanks!
I will have to try that with our next round of teeth!!!! This last time I gave him a frozen wash cloth and he loved that but he would get bored with it!!!!

Audrey hated those mesh feeders LOL!! Her way of soothing her gums was chewing on her fingers...my baby loves pain LOL!!!

My friend actually suggested this method to me. I was annoyed because LM doesn't like to hold the wash cloth or the teething rings much because they are cold on her hands. But with the mesh feeder she can hold the plastic handle and go to town on the ice cubes/frozen juice.

It works for Tia-li but I heard of an even BETTER one with no dripping /melting coldness.Someone suggested that you get a baby bottle,remove the nipple/teat and fill it (upside down) with the plastic non drip cap over it to support it/stop it falling,with water.Put it in the freezer for a couple of hours (only the upside down nipple/teat in the lid of the bottle and then once it's frozen,screw the nipple/teat back onto the bottle for baby to chew on.The rest of the bottle is not cold (as it has not been frozen) and the liquid does not drip out.I tried it for T-li so she doesnt get cold hands and you can prepare a load of these ready and just keep them on hand for when they are teething (I just use cheap bottles for this not the ones I used to feed her) Smile/happy
