1. Divert attention

Distracting your baby's attention is an effective way to help him ignore the pain. Mom and dad can attract their baby by telling stories, playing games, playing with toys, watching cartoons, etc. Treat sick babies with more tenderness and care than usual, because encouragement and spiritual support from parents are the most important pain relief remedies for children, and sometimes even more effective than drugs.

2. Local hot compress and massage

Parents can use a hot towel to massage or apply hot compress to the baby's painful area. This can ease the child's tension and relieve the discomfort caused by the pain. When massaging, be sure to pay attention to the strength of kneading. Let your baby fall asleep with gentle caressing.

3. Reduce strenuous exercise

Growing pains are not a disease and there is no need to restrict the baby's activities. However, if the pain is severe, you should make sure your baby rests more, relaxes his muscles, and avoids strenuous activities.

4. Supplement nutrients

Babies should consume more nutrients that can promote the growth of cartilage tissue, such as milk, bones, walnuts, and eggs, which all contain elastin and collagen. Vitamin C is beneficial to collagen synthesis, so your baby can eat more vegetables and fruits rich in VC, such as green vegetables, leeks, spinach, citrus, grapefruit, etc.

The above is an introduction to some methods to help relieve and treat children’s growing pains. From these introductions, we find that in addition to more professional treatments, some care and health care in daily life are more important, such as local massage and daily nutritional supplements. These can effectively help children alleviate this phenomenon.
