Mom's All-Natural Teething Hack Wins The Internet

There’s no dearth of the baby and parenting books. Even though you referred to them as the Holy Bible of parenting, you soon found out that none of them could act as the all-encompassing guide to dealing with the little surprise that is your baby. Hence, you found your own solutions to all the baby problems you faced as you went along, and even shared those with fellow moms to ease their troubles.

But one of the mysteries that have always eluded you was that of the teething pains. Yes, there are teethers for that and tons of other home remedies too. Despite them, your precious one has still managed to keep you awake all night long, with you trying to soothe them by swaddling in your arms.

Well, not anymore! If you use this brilliant hack discovered by one heck of a smart mom from Columbus, Ohio, you would be bidding adieu to not just teething troubles but even little rumbles of hunger coming from your tiny tot’s tummy!

Tasia Blackwell, the smart mom in question, has been credited with the invention of a genius kind of popsicle, called the Milksicle! This unique milksicle is actually made up of breast milk! Yes, that’s right! It’s made up of your toddler’s favourite food item, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise if you find them merrily slurping on a pop!

Blackwell even shared a video of her son going gaga over his milksicle and stated that it has really helped him with his teething pain as well as hunger pangs. Bet you wish this came out when you were struggling with your child’s teething troubles, didn’t you? Well, at least there’s still hope for to-be as well as young mothers!

Blackwell’s video instantly went viral in the world of mothering. Apart from uploading the video, she also shared two other images – one in which she had one of these godsend milk pops in her hands, and the other of her storing the milksicles in breast milk storage bags in her freezer. So now you also know how you can make and keep these breast milk pops for all your tots, in case you were wondering.

Blackwell’s viral post has come as a savior for a lot of mothers dealing with awfully cranky babies who’d chew on just about anything to get rid of that annoying pain! And honestly, it’s these little hacks that make the parenting life so much easier than it would otherwise be!

There are quite a few other interesting hacks that you can try too to deal with the various (and new) problems your baby comes up with every day! Like this genius parenting hack, which proud mom Elizabeth Burchiel (better known as The Painted Dragon – some seriously cool mom-ness going on here) came up with. In her viral video, she showed all mommies how she uses plastic baby wipes containers to store diapers, wipes and a change of clothes for all outdoor emergencies. It’s a pretty neat trick for when you and baby are in on-the-go mode and is even quite space-saving too!
