Breast Milk: Nature’s Remedy for a Teething Baby

If your little one is suddenly fussy, drooling like a faucet, and chewing on everything in sight—it’s likely that teething has arrived. For many parents, this phase can feel like a tough puzzle. The good news? One of the best tools for soothing a teething baby is something you already have: breast milk.

Breast milk isn’t just nourishment—it's packed with natural pain relief, immunity boosters, and emotional comfort. And when paired with modern tools like teethers, teething pacifiers, and innovative freezing solutions like our Boobcube Tray & Pop Pack, it becomes a powerful remedy for teething discomfort.

Let’s dive into why breast milk is a must-have during teething—and how to make the most of it.

1. Breastfeeding Brings Comfort During Teething

During teething, your baby may nurse more frequently for comfort. Breastfeeding naturally releases calming hormones like oxytocin and endorphins that help ease your baby's discomfort. And nothing beats the naturally soft texture of the breast when in pain. However, when the breast is not an option, or you are looking for something with a cool temperature, freezing breastmilk that has been collected in our Boobcube milk collectors, and frozen in our Boobcube Tray and serving it in our Boobcube pop is the perfect solution to providing instant relief for your teething baby.

2. Breast Milk Has Natural Pain-Relieving Properties

Breast milk contains bioactive components that help relieve pain and reduce inflammation—exactly what your teething baby needs. It’s also cooling and hydrating, making it perfect to freeze and use in soothing solutions like teething rollers or popsicles.

3. Use Frozen Breast Milk for Instant Teething Relief

Here's where things get exciting for parents looking for a safe and effective way to soothe their baby's gums: you can freeze breast milk using our Boobcube Trays, then pop the frozen milk cubes into our Boobcube Pop for an instant teething baby relief tool.

📦 Boobcube Pop: Breast Milk + Soothing = Game-Changer

Our Boobcube system turns your breast milk into a baby-safe, cold teether that your baby can suck on. This is a great alternative to a traditional silicone teether or fruit feeder, and it ensures your baby is getting both comfort and nutrition while easing their gum pain.

It's a mess-free, toxin-free solution made from food-grade silicone—perfect for eco-conscious, health-focused parents.

4. Boosting Immunity During Teething

Many parents notice their teething baby seems to catch more colds or infections. While teething doesn’t cause illness directly, it can make babies more susceptible. Breast milk is your baby’s first defence, filled with antibodies that help protect against viruses and bacteria.

Frozen breast milk in Boobcube Pops not only soothes your baby—it actively boosts their immunity.

5. Helps Keep Baby Hydrated

Teething causes excessive drooling, which can contribute to dehydration. If your baby is rejecting water or formula, offering breastfeeding more frequently—or giving frozen Boobcube breast milk pops—is a great way to keep hydration levels up.

6. Pair Breast Milk with Safe Teething Tools

In addition to frozen milk pops, teething babies benefit from safe tools like:

• Teething pacifier – gentle on gums, easy to hold
• Silicone pacifier – great for soothing and chewing
• Teething roller – for a cooling gum massage
• Fruit feeder – fill with chilled fruits or even frozen breast milk

These can be used in rotation with your Boobcube Pops for all-day relief options.

7. Ways to Produce More Milk While Breastfeeding

If you're wondering about ways to produce more milk while breastfeeding, here are some natural strategies:

• Nurse frequently (especially skin-to-skin)
• Stay hydrated and eat lactation-friendly foods (like oats, flaxseed, and leafy greens)
• Try gentle breast massage or warm compresses
• Use a breast pump between feeds
• Prioritise rest when possible

More milk means more frozen cubes for soothing—and more comfort for your teething baby.

Teething can be a bumpy ride—but you’re not alone, and you’re better equipped than you think. Breast milk is your secret weapon: full of nutrition, natural pain relief, and immune protection.

Combine that with innovative tools like Boobcube Milk Collectors, and our Boobcube Tray & Pop Pack, and you’ve got a gentle, effective, and baby-approved solution for teething relief.

So next time your baby starts to fuss and drool, reach for that frozen cube of love—your baby (and your sanity) will thank you.
