Extra fussy and gnawing on everything? Teething is one rite of passage where it’s harder to tell if it’s harder on parents or the baby!

Here are my favorite pediatrician-approved teething tips that actually help soothe sore gums
- Chilled (or frozen if designed to be) teethers
- Gentle gum massage with a clean finger
- Age-appropriate pain relief when needed
- Extra snuggles and tons of patience

Avoid: over the counter remedies like gum gels or teething tablets. These are unlikely to help and in some cases can be dangerous for our little ones!

Remember: teething can cause fussiness and drooling, but high fever, severe diarrhea, or ongoing/worsening symptoms aren’t “just teething.” When in doubt, trust your gut and check in with your pediatrician.

Save this to come back to the next time teething pain has you stressed out
& follow along for more evidence-based baby and toddler tips!

Hives look alarming, especially when they seem to come out of nowhere.
Most parents immediately think food allergy, but here’s the surprising truth: the most common cause of hives in kids is a virus.

Even a mild cold or recent illness can trigger hives as your child’s immune system responds. While hives often look dramatic, they’re usually more uncomfortable than dangerous.

What can parents do?
• An age-appropriate antihistamine like Zyrtec. (Ask your child’s pediatrician for dosing)
• Gentle, fragrance-free lotions for itchy skin
• Be patient and give it time

Hives can come and go for several days, and that’s often normal. Of course, always check in with your pediatrician if hives are persistent, severe, or paired with concerning symptoms.

If this post eased your worries even a bit, save it for later or share it with another parent who might need the reassurance today! Follow for more quick, evidence based information and parenting content!

Ever heard of the 5-2-1-0 rule?
It’s an easy-to-understand, evidence-based framework pediatricians use to support healthy habits without the pressure of perfection.

5️⃣ servings of fruits & vegetables each day
2️⃣ hours or less of recreational screen time
1️⃣ hour or more of physical activity
0️⃣ sugary drinks (think soda, juice, sports drinks)

This isn’t about being “strict.” It’s about creating rhythms that support long term health, one small choice at a time. Some days you’ll hit all four, some days you won’t… and that’s okay. This framework is meant to be a gentle guide for your family.

If this feels overwhelming, start with one number and build from there. Small changes really do add up!

Share this with a family struggling with the daily overwhelm of “perfect” parenting & follow along for more evidence-based pediatric health content that feels practical.
