An Australian study shows that giving new mothers an info on teething symptoms may decrease the use of medicine. During the research 441 pregnant mothers were involved in. Nearly a half of them had received printed info via mail that included explanation of the different ways to manage teething. The ladies got the info when their babies were 6 months old, and one more time at 12 months. The rest did not receive this information.
All 441 moms were equally likely to report teething symptoms in their babies. But the study shows that the group of mothers who got the mailed was less likely to use medicines to ease discomfort, giving the preference to rubbing their babies' gums instead.
