Once it’s tightly tied, she soaks it under the tap. After tying and soaking five washcloths, she puts them in a small baking dish and shoves them into her freezer. According to a comment Kate left on the video, she leaves them in for 20 to 30 minutes until they’re “cold but not frozen.” When it’s cold enough for them, Kate gives her little one, who is sucking and chewing on it with a ball, the homemade chew toys. TikTokers struggling with their own teething babies sang Kate’s praises in the comments. One user had a suggestion to further improve Kate’s hack: “Soak in cold chamomile tea, it works even better to calm down!” They write. It’s little tips and tricks like these – and the supportive community that forms around them – that help parents deal with the daily struggles!
