Fear not, we got you, mamas (and dads!). Put down the Bonjela and follow us into the kitchen.

These baby food popsicle recipes will not only keep everyone happy because they are so delicious, they will also provide a quick (and healthy) cooling down remedy for those little sore gums causing all this trouble.
