As painful as teething is for babies, it's equally as frustrating for parents. A call to the pediatrician will leave you with little more than a "stay strong, mama!" and a run to the nearest baby store will leave you with $50 worth of wooden teethers, silicone teethers, and edible teethers — none of which work in the slightest.

So, although there's no promises that this ingenious method will work with your baby, it's worth a shot based on the sheer fact that you probably already have it at home.

Emilia Jackson shared her hack on Facebook [1], and all it required was one of those Philips Avent "soothies" that cost $3 for a pack of two [2] (although you likely snagged one from the hospital or got one as a free gift for registering at Babies 'R' Us — most moms end up with a dozen of these in their diaper bags without an educated guess as to how they acquired them) and a little bit of water.

"If your babies are teething, mamas, put water in your soothie, and then put it in the freezer for a couple hours," she wrote. "Seriously a life-saver for teething. He was so content with his cold binky."

If you are worried that a baby could drink the water, fear not: "There is no hole in this binky, and absolutely no way for the baby to get the water."
