My six-month-old son has started teething. The constant drooling has led to an angry rash around his chin. I’ve also noticed that his stools have become quite loose. What would you recommend?

One of the most important first steps in addressing teething rash is to avoid using creams or lotions containing synthetic ingredients. Instead, look for a product that contains soothing and healing herbs such as calendula, chamomile, lavender, and aloe vera.
