The struggle of teething has persisted through generations, prompting a range of remedies from ancient to modern times. Historically, methods included massaging gums with chilled herbs and using amber necklaces thought to relieve pain. Misconceptions about teething's health impacts led to tragic misattributions of infant deaths in the 19th century. Notably, Hippocrates linked numerous ailments to teething in the 300s. Today, while parents still turn to natural solutions, advancements in teething gels highlight both changing understandings of safety and the ongoing desire to comfort children in this challenging phase.
In ancient times, parents used natural remedies like massaging the gums with cooled herbs, while the belief in amber teething necklaces emerged in the 18th century.
Despite the evolution of remedies, the constant remains the desire to provide comfort for babies during teething—a concern expressed for thousands of years.
