Serena Williams just got the best teething advice from other new mums

"It's breaking my heart."

Serena Williams has reached out to fellow mums online after struggling to comfort her teething daughter. Alexis Olympia is three months old and beginning to get her first teeth, an experience that's tough on babies and parents alike. Serena tweeted yesterday that despite her best efforts, the baby wouldn't stop crying and that she didn't know how to help relieve her.

Teething- aka the devil - is so hard. Poor Alexis Olympia has been so uncomfortable. She cried so much (she never cries) I had to hold her until she fell asleep. I've tried amber beads... cold towels.... chew on mommies fingers.... homeopathic water (lol on that one) but...... pic.twitter.com/hCRMJ0RhUQ

Nothing is working. It's breaking my heart. I almost need my mom to come and hold me to sleep cause I'm so stressed. Help? Anyone??

Luckily, mums are magic and quickly shared all of their tips (and love) with the tennis ace.

Swaddle her and gently rock. She can sense you are stressed. You have to be calm, and honestly sometimes they just have to cry. I have a 4 month old..she is my 3rd. And sometimes you just have to learn what they want

Rubbing her gums helps with the pain of teething. Also try some harder foods, like a chilled carrot because that will also help ease the pain. If nothing helps, children’s Motrin or any ibuprofen for babies should be okay

If crying is persistent, see pediatrician. It’s easy for an ear infection or other infection to sneak up. Teething makes babies irritable, but shouldn’t be persistent.

My daughter responded to the frozen teething rings. We had about 10 of those things to have cold ones readily available. Praying for y’all sis. ❤️

A warm bath with breast milk popsicles! Much love to you. It’s a stage, it will pass, promise.

I give you my word that it will get better...even if right now it feels like things are hopeless and will never be right again! But someday your bigger issue will be trying to drag a teenager out of bed on a weekend morning. I promise. ❤️

This is when we begin to understand that age old saying “it takes a village to raise a child”. Hugs to you new mommy. It will get better.
