Baby thinks we're nuts too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41955 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 14:45:52 +0000 BabyLove 41955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked up the nose frida. I'd never heard of it! I'm ordering it today, if it works it's genius! I try to use the aspirator and the baby acts like I'm putting a knife up her nostril, my poor baby :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41933 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:43:39 +0000 brownie 41933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Elevate the head of the bed to help with the congestion. We used ibruprofin mostly. We also have this vibrating teething star thing that he loves. Also, for congestion I used the saline spray before bed every night. Those were the only things that helped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41893 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:33:18 +0000 venice4504 41893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I have looked all over for the Nose Frida and no one carries it here in Seattle! I finally ordered it from Amazon and it'll be here on Thursday but seriously! Target doesn't even have them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41886 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:23:01 +0000 chopsuey 41886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>aww. poor thing! when my LO was congested, my Nose Frieda was my best friend! kept her nasal passages clear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41883 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 12:20:34 +0000 pelikila 41883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say the congestion is related to the teething. My son's nose always runs when he is teething. He also can get a slight diaper rash, have diarrhea, run a fever, etc. We keep a humidifier going when he sleeps and clear his nose frequently with a nosefrida, sometimes in the middle of the night when he can't get back to sleep because he's so congested. Also, we've found that ibuprofen lasts a little longer than tylenol for my son. If your baby doesn't like the cold teething rings try a cold damp washcloth instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41871 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:39:20 +0000 BabyLove 41871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@thehistoryofus- I haven't used baby orajel but I've been using Hyland's teething gel which is essentially the same thing. I have no idea if it's providing relief though! I don't love the gel because I'm not sure that it's actually treating the affected areas, ya know? </p> <p>@venice4504- she doesn't like to chew the rings either! But I give them to her anyway. She chews the crap out of her hands. I guess because she's better able to manuevor them. I hope you continue to have no sleep issues- it's the worst! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41862 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:30:47 +0000 venice4504 41862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're in the same boat! He's congested too and likes chewing on his hands more than the teething rings. We're luckily not having any sleep issues (yet...) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41849 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:20:09 +0000 T.H.O.U. 41849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my that is no fun. I have a feeling we are headed that way soon and I'm not looking forward to it. Have you used baby orajel? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-not-so-fun#post-41836 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:50:10 +0000 BabyLove 41836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My poor baby girl spent her first Christmas teething and miserable. Children's tylenol worked a bit but she hasn't slept for more than a 3 hour stretch since Thursday. I've been giving her cold teething rings and hyland's teething gel/tablets. Anything else to recommend? Specifically to help her sleep? She's also congested. Is that related? </p> <p>How long does this typically last? And how many times will it occur? </p> <p>Whoa 20 questions- my bad :o{ </p>
