Any parent will tell you that it is heartbreaking to watch a baby unable to settle or an infant unable to find comfort from the unending pain of teething.

Thanks to two new products now available in Australia, parents can now soothe their little ones from birth and through the teething stage without the use of any chemical based creams and medicines.

The first of the products is the Ookie Bonding & Comforter Doll.  Made from cotton flannel and trimmed with silky satin, babies love the soft feel of the comforter and the knotted hands of the doll give babies something to grip onto so they can hold the comforter close.

Used in Europe with newborns and premature babies, the Ookie Doll is perfect for mums to wear close to her skin for a night or so to allow the doll to absorb mums scent thus providing a comforting, soft doll that provides the closeness of mums scent to relax and reassure baby. 

The second product and a sister product of the Ookie, is the Kammi Teether Doll.  Made from terry cloth and featuring knotted hands and feet the Kammi is the perfect item to soothe red and inflamed gums through teething.  Parents simply dampen the knots and place the doll in the freezer for 10-15 minutes and then give to baby to suck on the cooled knots.  The Kammi Teether provides natural relief from the pain of teething.   The Kammi has been designed to wash and dry as easily as a towel and suits babies and toddlers of teething age.

Ookie retails at $24.95 & Kammi at $29.95 and are available from the Australian distributor, online store, www.babyhouse.com.au.
