If you are a parent, you know exactly how painful teething can be for babies.  You also know how distressing it can be to try and soothe them.  Infant Oragel and teething rings help for a little while, but not nearly long enough.  My grandmother shared a tip with me that I have found to be immensely helpful.  Soak a baby face cloth with cold water and place it in the freezer for at least 30 minutes (preferable until frozen).  When ready, take it out of the freezer and give it to your baby to chew on.  This will keep him or her busy and, more importantly, happy for up to an hour.  I always had several waiting in the freezer so that I could switch to a new one as needed.  Yes, their little shirts will get wet and I do recommend putting a bib on the baby first.  Everyone that I have shared this tip with has been pleasantly surprised.
