• Resumen

  • Victorian era patent medicines to soothe discomfort from teething infants worked well because they contained dangerous pain killing drugs such as narcotics and alcohol. Relief from teething discomfort can also be achieved for a teething infant by the baby chewing on various objects such as hard teething rings or teething necklaces.

    This report offers some historical perspective on infant teething and describes and pictures a well- marketed German teething necklace of the 19th century.
