Are you looking for a natural solution for soothing your baby’s teething pain? This post will teach you how to make a roller bottle using the best essential oils for calming a fussy baby due to teething.
As a mom, I know how hard it can be when you have a fussy baby. It’s hard to see your child in pain, especially when you can’t do anything to help them.
It can make for some long nights for both mom and baby.
What if you did have something to help them? Teething is one of those things that has to happen. Thankfully essential oils can help with this.
Plus, being able to soothe my baby and know that I am not putting anything harmful on him makes me overjoyed.
Safety Precautions
Essential oils are very powerful, and as a result, proper care should be taken before using them.
Always dilute essential oils in a carrier oil before applying them topically.
Consult with your healthcare provider before using this recipe or any essential oils on children under 3.
Pure essential oils are quite expensive because of the amount of raw product required to make them. As a result, most oils include adders and fillers to reduce the cost. Please be aware of this and note that I do not recommend any of those types of oils.

OTHER ESSENTIAL OILS FOR PAIN DUE TO TEETHING
There are only a few essential oils gentle enough for children and over six months for soothing the gums during teething.
And three of those oils are used in the recipe above. Below, I share one more soothing oil that is used by many.
I personally do not use oils internally on my littles, but after extensive research, I have found many others to have success with this oil.
I recommend performing your own research before using any essential oils internally.
COPAIBA
Many essential oil users dilute one drop of copaiba essential oil in a tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil.
Then, dip your finger in the diluted oil and gently rub it into the sore gums.

Hi,
I have a 6.5 month old who I think who is teething. Where do you apply the oils when they have upper teeth coming in? Thank you.
Kimberly says
Will German chamomile work as well as Roman?
Thank you!
Lauren says
I wanted to make this for my newest grandson who has been teething for what seems like months already! I will be seeing my daughter and her family this weekend and wanted to make a 10mL roller bottle of teething relief for him, but I don’t have chamomile. (Is Roman Chamomile and Chamomile the same thing?) What is a good substitute?
THANK YOU for your generous spirit! I only found your site yesterday but I have already read most of your recipes and watched several videos.
Laura says
Thank you so much! You can make it without the Roman chamomile. Copaiba, frankincense, and lavender are great for soothing the pain.

Hi Laura,
Love your tutorials. I’ve incorporated many of them to our natural lifestyle remedies.
May I ask why your recipe in your video for 10mL teething rollerball is different from your written recipe? Is that a choice you are giving your viewers to follow?
I look forward to your response.
Congratulations on your newest child by the way. What a beautiful family you have.
Sincerely
Irene
Laura says
I use the one written in this post.
Ingrid Moore says
Thank you it’s great to read and get information.
Mary says
In the video for the roller bottle you said add 8 drops of your essential oils…is that 8 drops of each oil? The recipe below it says to use 3, 2, and 1 drop which doesn’t equal 8 either so I was curious…
Laura says
To dilute it properly for a baby, use the recipe on the blog. 🙂

Hello, we are going to try this on my youngest grand today. He is 7 months old and teething!
Amber says
My baby will be 4 months old on feb 19th. Is she old enough for me to use on her?
Laura says
I use it on my littles when they are teething.
