Food Ideas to Help Your Teething Baby (That Actually Work!)

Written by Moss & Fawn, the original creators of the Forage Feeder

If you’ve ever had a teething baby, you know the drill: drool everywhere, cranky naps, and those tiny gums trying to chomp down on anything in sight. You want to help them feel better naturally and safely, without reaching for numbing gels or harsh solutions.

That’s exactly why we created the Forage Feeder. It's not just a feeder it’s a calming, development-friendly way to give your baby soothing relief and start exploring new tastes.

So, what can you actually put in the feeder that helps?
We’ve got you covered.

1. Frozen Breastmilk Cubes

Hands down, this is a parent favorite. Breastmilk is full of comfort and nutrition, and freezing it in our Ice Tray gives you perfectly portioned cubes that fit right into the feeder.

2. Mashed Banana (Frozen or Fresh)

Bananas are soft, sweet, and easy on tiny tummies. You can mash it up and freeze spoonfuls then fill the feeder.

3. Frozen Mango or Peaches

Cut them into small pieces and freeze or use pre-frozen organic options. They hold their chill longer and taste like a treat.

4. Steamed & Frozen Carrots

Once cooled and frozen, steamed carrots become a teething-time hero. Pop a small piece into the feeder and let your baby gnaw away.

5. Blueberries or Strawberries

These are full of antioxidants and perfect for babies exploring new flavors. 

6. Ice Chips or Chamomile Tea Cubes

Want something ultra-soothing? Brew chamomile tea, freeze into cubes, and place it in the feeder for a calming teething session. (No honey!)

Why it works: Chamomile’s natural anti-inflammatory properties help ease discomfort.

Why Use a Feeder at All?

Feeding your teething baby frozen food directly can be messy, slippery, and risky (hello choking hazards). The Moss & Fawn Forage Feeder gives your baby a safe way to soothe their gums and explore solids without stress  for either of you.

It’s also:

• Made from 100% food-grade silicone

• Designed by women

• Easy to clean and reuse

• CPSIA + FDA tested for peace of mind
