You’ve got a cranky teether on your hands (and chin, and nose, and anywhere else he can clamp his jaw).

Before turning to the old school remedy of whiskey (for you both), give Reiki a whirl.

The Japanese form of natural healing uses energy to assuage physical and emotional ailments. During a treatment, a trained practitioner gently places her hands on specific points like the heart and side of the mouth to calm jangled nerves.

Sessions are short and can be performed on a dressed baby wherever he’s comfortable, so there’s no need to take Mr. Fussy Pants out of his stroller.

We say it’s worth a shot.

Available at The Reiki School and Clinic, 525 South Fourth Street, suite 248 (215-238-0659 or thereikischool.com).
