Mom shares teething hack that is low cost

We know that as a parent to a teething child, you are willing to try anything.
As a parent to a teething baby, it can be difficult to think straight.
A baby who is growing teeth can be anything but a happy baby. Naturally, that means that you would want to try anything you can to help ease their gums and help them feel more at peace.
A mom to twins recently shared a hack that she found worked well for her babies.
In a short clip, mom, Tene, showed her twin babies chewing or should we say gnawing at spring onions.
They seem quite calm and relaxed, with the onions having a soothing effect on their gums.
Mom says that onions are a great solution for teething babies. Over and above their teething benefits, onions are also a great source of nutrients for babies.
“Onions can be safely given to babies as they begin solid foods, starting around 6 months old,” confirms pediatric dietitian Grace Shea, MS, RDN, CSP." (Healthline)
