We understand that when your baby is teething, you want a solution that is both effective and nutritious. Combining the natural sweetness of fruit with the familiar comfort of breast milk creates the perfect soothing treat. At teetherpop, we have developed this simple, wholesome recipe specifically for use in a fillable teether to help soothe sore gums while providing a healthy snack.
The Perfect Cooling Berry Blend
To begin, we gather a half-cup of organic blueberries or raspberries and two ounces of breast milk or formula. We gently pulse these ingredients in a blender until the mixture is smooth and liquid enough to flow easily. Using fresh berries ensures your little one gets a boost of antioxidants and vitamins while they enjoy the cooling sensation of a frozen fruit teether.
Filling Your Teether for Success
Once the mixture is well blended, sift through a fine mesh sieve (this eliminates any remaining seeds and allows for optimal flow). Pour the liquid into the reservoir of the teetherpop, being sure to stop at the indicated fill line. Then, simply fold the handle and snap to secure.
Teetherpop’s patented design is specifically made for holding liquids securely. With a waterproof seal and no-spill sippy-slits your baby can enjoy thin liquids like breast milk without worrying about the typical mess associated with traditional mesh feeders.
Freezing for Optimal Gum Relief
We recommend placing the filled unit in the freezer three to four hours, or until frozen. The freezing process transforms the berry blend into an icy treat that provides immediate numbing relief to inflamed gums. We find that having a few units ready in the freezer helps us stay prepared for sudden teething episodes.
Safe and Mess-Free Enjoyment
When it is time for baby to enjoy their treat, we simply hand them the chilled teether and let them explore. Our flexible silicone reservoir features small slits that only release the juice as the baby bites and sucks. This ensures we can provide a cold, flavorful experience that is completely contained, keeping both the baby and their surroundings clean.
Making a nutritious teething recipe idea at home is a wonderful way to support your baby’s development while providing much-needed comfort. At teetherpop, we love helping parents find creative ways to nourish and soothe their children. Shop our teetherpops are try your own recipes today!
