OTC - Teething Medication

What are we giving our children?

My granddaughter told me my little great granddaughter was teething and uncomfortable.  She asked grandma if there was something natural I could come up with.  I'm always up for a new challenge, but this was no ordinary request.  I cannot stand to see babies uncomfortable, so I hit the Google to see what was in the commercial products.

The link above is frightening enough just with the main ingredient, but I also discovered dyes, chemicals I cannot pronounce, and saccharin, of all things . . . I have a rule of thumb, when it comes to chemicals that are difficult to pronounce or beyond my pronunciation skills.  Anything that does not come out of my mouth, should not go in my mouth!
