And this was a compromise with DH (I would have preferred less, him more). She was generally fine during the day, but we could tell when she started to get in too much pain as she got more tired and it neared bedtime. I would say in any given teething period she probably got... 4 total doses. She was a quick teether though (except molars - those things took like two months! She got a LOT more medicine for those) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1814883 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:51:32 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1814883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes to ibuprofin over tylenol. If i know teething is happening i give it before bed and then when he is due for another dose if he wakes up. Teething tablets worked well for us too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1814879 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 19:49:11 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 1814879@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you for the responses. Those teeth are almost through, little guy had trouble eating his bottle after I picked him up and was pretty cranky as the evening went on so I have him motrin. Some trouble settling but hopefully now that he is out he'll get good baby rest. I'll still be prepared for a couple wake ups! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1814609 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 17:01:22 +0000 jedeve 1814609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do ibuprofen if he wakes up, seemingly in pain, on the second wake up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813945 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:17:05 +0000 regberadaisy 1813945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I give ibuprofen is she seems really miserable and/or it's keeping her up at night. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813937 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 12:15:45 +0000 Alivoo01 1813937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you tried teething tablets? Tylenol doesn't work for us either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813878 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:52:44 +0000 Smurfette 1813878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, Motrin is going to help your LO WAY more then Tylenol will. I wish someone told me that sooner. </p> <p>I give it as often as she seems she is hurting. If she is chewing on her hand all day, she gets it before bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813810 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:32:51 +0000 blackbird 1813810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ibuprofen as long as she's miserable!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813777 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:22:14 +0000 autumnlove 1813777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried it yet but several Bees recommended Motrin over Tylenol for teething pain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-to-use-pain-medicine-for-teething#post-1813770 Wed, 13 Aug 2014 11:19:42 +0000 MOMTOLITTLEB 1813770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How do you Mommies use pain medicine when your baby is teething? </p> <p>My son is 8 months old. His first two teeth seemed to come in quickly and not be that big of a deal. Now his top two teeth have been poking through for a couple of weeks. There are times he seems more bothered by it but he always has whiny moods so I don't know for sure that is the cause. There were actually a couple days he was bleeding. I give Tylenol some nights when he seems uncomfortable but it doesn't seem right to give it every night for weeks. I'm not super conservative with medicine and want to use it if it will help him but I also don't want to overdo it. He seems to sleep better when we give him Tylenol but he's not an awesome sleeper so I don't know if I can blame teething pain for his poor sleep other nights. </p>
