If your baby’s been crying more than usual and you’re not sure if it’s teething, gas, or just plain exhaustion, you’re not alone. As a mom and sleep coach with over 30 years of experience, I’ve walked hundreds of parents through these exact moments. It’s hard to know what’s going on when your baby can’t tell you with words. But when your little one is struggling to settle, sleep, or stop crying, especially in the evening, it’s usually a sign that their little body is trying to work something out.
That’s why I often recommend these three gentle options to families I coach, especially during those early months: Camilia® Teething, Camilia® Bedtime, and Camilia® Tummy Relief from Boiron.
They’re all liquid doses designed for babies 1 month and up, and they’re easy to keep on hand when your baby’s discomfort seems to spike out of nowhere (because it often does).
Let’s walk through when and how you might want to use each one.
1. Camilia® Original Daytime Teething Relief
For painful gums, daytime irritability, and minor digestive upsets.
If your baby is chewing on everything, drooling nonstop, or tugging at their ears, it might be teething. It can start as early as 3 months and hang around for what feels like forever, though it comes in waves.
Camilia® Original Teething Relief is a pre-measured liquid dose that’s indicated to help relieve gum discomfort and irritability associated with teething during the day.
- For babies 1 month and up.
- No risk of numbing the baby’s gag reflex or interfering with nursing.
- A hygienic, mess-free solution you don’t need to rub on gums
Camilia is a homeopathic medicine with a plant-based formula and contains no Benzocaine, dyes or colors, preservatives, lactose, sugar, flavors or artificial sweeteners. You can pair it with teething toys or a chilled washcloth — anything that gives those sore
gums something to chew on. In my post about teething and sleep, I walk through other tools that can help your baby settle, even during tough stretches.
2. Camilia® Bedtime Nighttime Teething Relief
For those painful teething nights
Everything can feel worse at night, and that’s true for teething too. The distractions are
gone, the lights are low, and your baby can really feel those sore gums. Teething doesn’t just make your baby cranky during the day. It can really disrupt naps and bedtime, too.
Camilia® Bedtime is specially indicated to alleviate teething pain associated with restlessness and irritability. The pre-measured liquid doses make those nighttime wake-ups even easier with no fumbling for measuring cups or syringes. Just twist, squeeze, and soothe.
- For babies 1 month and up
- No numbing agents, so it won’t numb the baby’s gag reflex or interfere with nursing.
- Can be part of a calming bedtime routine with a warm bath, dose, rocking, and white
noise
Camilia Original has been around for over 30 years and now they are offering a nighttime teething relief option. Just like the daytime version, this homeopathic medicine is made with a plant-based formula and contains no Benzocaine, dyes or colors, preservatives, lactose, sugar, flavors or artificial sweeteners.
Sometimes babies still wake during teething, even with help. If that happens, do your best to comfort them and revisit your usual sleep habits once the discomfort eases.

3. Camilia® Tummy Gas & Colic Relief
For gas, bloating, and colicky symptoms
Colic is a word no parent wants to hear, but if your baby is crying for long stretches, especially in the afternoon or evening, it might be what you’re dealing with. And it’s heartbreaking.
In my book, The Sleep Lady’s Gentle Newborn Sleep Guide, I share that what we often call colic can actually be things like gas, reflux, feeding issues, or food sensitivities. The good news? Some of these things can be supported.
Camilia® Tummy Gas & Colic Relief is a liquid dose indicated to help relieve painful gas, bloating, and fussiness — three of the biggest contributors to those tough, colicky stretches.
- For babies 1 month and up
- A hygienic, mess-free solution you don’t need to mix, measure, or refrigerate.
- No preservatives or dyes, just simple, single-use doses
This plant based with other pure active ingredients homeopathic medicine is free of Benzocaine, dyes and colors, preservatives, lactose, flavors and artificial sweeteners.
Pair this with calming techniques like my 3 PM Rule:
Within the 3 PM to 7 PM time period, I suggest:
● Turning off the TV.
● Dimming the lights.
● Soothing your baby with rocking and sucking.
● Bringing your baby into a separate calming room—either temporarily, or for the full
period, if needed.
● Having a gentle “coming home” routine for other members of the family.
Dim lights, lower stimulation, and soothe with rocking and sucking. You may notice your baby starts to settle a little easier.

One Last Word of Encouragement
If your baby’s teething, gassy, or just not sleeping, and you’re feeling exhausted and unsure, you’re doing better than you think.
There’s no one-size-fits-all fix, but small tools like these can go a long way in helping your baby feel more comfortable. That, in turn, helps you breathe a little easier too.
These are homeopathic medicines I’ve trusted and recommended to countless parents over the years. Not because they promise perfection, but because they’re designed with babies and real life in mind. Each one uses a plant-powered formula, are non-GMO, and contain no Benzocaine, preservatives, dyes or colors, lactose, flavors or artificial sweeteners — which brings peace of mind when you’re caring for a little one.
Important note: While it’s common for teething to bring on things like extra drooling, restlessness, or even mild diaper rash, symptoms like fever or diarrhea can sometimes overlap with early signs of illness. Teething often shows up at the same time babies are more vulnerable to viruses. If nothing seems to help or your baby seems especially unwell, check in with your pediatrician just to be sure.
