She Allowed Her Mom To Rub Whiskey On Her Daughter’s Gums To Help With Teething, But Her Husband Freaked Out And Now Won’t Allow Their Daughter Over At Her Mom’s House Anymore
This 28-year-old woman and her husband welcomed their first baby into the world six months ago. But recently, her daughter has started to teethe really badly.
So, since she is a first-time mom and was at her mother’s house just a few days ago, she decided to bring up the teething topic in a conversation.
Apparently, her mom is very into working with herbs and natural healing remedies. Plus, her mom is obviously a parent, too, and knew about some more old-fashioned teething treatments.
Anyway, her mom wound up asking to try rubbing a small amount of whiskey on her daughter’s gums.
“She said she did it to me and all three of my siblings,” she recalled.
So, she allowed her mom to try the remedy out on her baby girl. And amazingly, the whiskey did appear to help calm down her daughter.
That’s why after she returned home, she decided to fill her husband in on her mom’s new trick. To her total surprise, though, he was actually furious with her.
Apparently, her husband claimed that putting whiskey on their daughter’s gums was just harmful and did not really relieve any pain.
So, he was seriously upset and told her that she should not have allowed her mother to do something like that.

On top of scolding her for that, her husband also claimed that she wasn’t allowed to bring their daughter over to her mother’s house anymore. And afterward, he even called out of work for two whole days just to keep an eye on her.
“He is super paranoid, watching me every second with our daughter,” she explained.
“I feel this is unfair.”
Regardless, her husband is still really upset with her. So now, she’s been left wondering whether letting her mom rub some whiskey on her daughter’s gums was the wrong thing to do or not.
Have you ever heard of putting whiskey on a baby’s gums to relieve teething pain? Is it understandable why she went to her mom– who is an experienced parent– for help? Does it seem like she was intentionally trying to hurt her daughter? Why do you think her husband reacted so harshly?
