DS is also getting his first tooth (it just started popping through his gums about 2 days ago), so I feel your pain.</p> <p>B) DS doesn't like teething rings either. We let him chew on blankets, washcloths, etc..., imstead. We also do steam showers in the morning and before bed, to relieve the congestion. Besides trying to eat my hand off, he isn't fussy, so I don't give him any medications. I do rub his gums multiple times a day, and that seems to help; I also let him chew on the bottle nipple for a while after each feeding. I only give him Baby Oragel twice (once before bedtime, once at his 2 am feeding) so he'll sleep, but otherwise I don't give him any medications. It should be over in a few days, so hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-help#post-218565 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 13:01:33 +0000 banana 218565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, sounds like teething to me! When my son was extra cranky, we gave him teething tablets (highlands). If he had a slight fever, we would give him some infant tylenol to make him comfortable. I did notice a big difference once we gave him the teething tablets. His fussiness/crankiness was greatly reduced. We only gave him the tablets for 2-3 days in a row and then would stop. I don't typically like giving my LO any kind of medication unless absolutely necessary, </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-help#post-218555 Thu, 12 Jul 2012 12:57:37 +0000 loveisstrange 218555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, i'm pretty positive that C is teething. She has the runny "drool poop", she's fussy, she won't nap, she's drooling like crazy and eating her whole fist constantly, refusing the bottle, etc. She is also crazy congested, which I've heard can happen with teething. I also felt her gums today and you can feel (and see) the 4 bumps on her bottom gum. She hates the frozen teether and the frozen washcloth. She'll chew on herself or a burpcloth/blanket. We have infant tylenol, teething gel and the tablets. The tablets seem to work well for her. </p> <p>A) Does this sound like true teething? I'm so clueless about this. I'm fairly certain it is.</p> <p>B)What are some things I can try to help her relieve some of the pain? </p>
