Baby Teething Oil
To create a consistent, high-quality teething oil, the "Glycerin Method" is key. Unlike alcohol, glycerin is sweet and thick, making it perfect for a baby’s gums.
The Peaceful Palette: Gentle Relief for Little Smiles
When those first teeth start to push through, the world can feel like an overwhelming place for a baby—and for you. At Flattop Mountain Herbs, we’ve combined the nurturing wisdom of the Blue Ridge with a mother’s touch to create our Baby Teething Oil. Instead of harsh numbing agents or synthetic chemicals, we use a soothing, alcohol-free glycerin base to deliver nature’s most calming botanicals. This formula is designed to quiet the discomfort, reduce the fussiness, and help both you and your little one find a moment of peace.
The Teething Ritual: Recipe & Application
A sweet, alcohol-free infusion crafted for comfort.
The "Little Smiles" Recipe:
1/2 oz Dried Chamomile Flowers (Calming)
1/4 oz Dried Lavender Buds (Soothing)
1 Whole Clove (Mildly cooling—do not exceed this amount)
Realized Yield: Approximately 8–9 oz of finished oil.
The Simple Steps:
The Jar: Place all herbs, the clove into a clean, sanitized 16 oz glass jar.
The Infusion: Pour the vegetable glycerin over the ingredients until they are fully submerged.
The Slow Steep: Seal the jar and place it in a cool, dark place for 4 to 6 weeks. Shake the jar gently every few days to help the glycerin pull the properties from the herbs.
The Fine Strain: Because this is for a baby’s mouth, strain the oil through a fine-mesh sieve. We recommend Zulay Strainer. Have patience and capture all the botanical goodness.
Storage: Store in a 4 oz amber glass dropper bottles. It will remain potent for up to 2 years.
How to Use:
Gently rub 1–2 drops onto the baby's gums with a clean fingertip or a soft cloth. Use as needed, especially before naps or bedtime.
Why It Works: The Gentle Botanical Blend
Our teething formula is tinctured in Vegetable Glycerin, which is naturally sweet and thicker than water, ensuring it stays on the gums longer to provide relief.
Chamomile & Lavender: This "dream team" calms the nervous system, reducing the irritability and restlessness that often accompany a new tooth.
Clove: A safe, minute amount of clove provides a very mild natural cooling sensation.
A Mother’s Promise:
Our Baby Teething Oil was handcrafted in small batches in Virginia. Because every child is unique, we strongly advise speaking with your pediatrician before introducing any new herbal products. This formula is intended for topical use on the gums.
