During the day we use a mesh feeder filled with crushed ice for LO to chew on...he LOVES it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1067030 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:33:07 +0000 Smurfette 1067030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I haven't heard of that. Do you just rub on the gums? Is it just at drug stores? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1067027 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:32:38 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1067027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the Hyland's gel and the Hyland's teething tablets on J and that seems to calm him down. I also take an ice cold washcloth and press it down against his gums while I hold him, which also seems to soothe him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1067024 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:32:06 +0000 Smurfette 1067024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Yeah we haven't been using the pea size amount either. </p> <p>It just breaks my heart. Her did say that she doesn't seem in pain during the day. So at least she is having so much fun at school, she ignores the pain. That makes the Mommy guilt a little less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1067013 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:30:47 +0000 runsyellowlites 1067013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used our amber necklace &amp; Boiron Camilia. It worked really well &amp; I rarely had to give a 2nd dose... when I did though I didn't feel any qualms about doing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1067002 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:28:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1067002@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch :( poor baby! Teething pain is the worst.</p> <p>We did and do use orajel with Chloe. I worry about the numbing effects and the choking hazard, and always use way less than the recommend amount. I literally use a dab on my finger &amp; rub it on her gums. It satisfies her and makes me feel better. I'm pretty sure the directions say to use a pea sized amount &amp; even at (almost) two years old, I don't feel comfortable doing that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-remedies-1#post-1066962 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 10:20:22 +0000 Smurfette 1066962@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R already had one bottom teeth break through the gums, and we have been working on it's mate for over a week now. She slept horrible last night. I was rocking her and she could barely keep her eyes open cause she is so tired, but kept tossing, turning, and crying cause she couldn't get comfy. We ended up giving her some Tylenol. She woke up again at 5, and it was the same thing, I finally had to give up trying to get her back to sleep cause I had to get ready for work. DH laid in bed with her and said he could tell she wanted to play but was so tired, she just snuggled with him. She fell asleep on the way to day care. I am on 3 1/2 hours of sleep, it is rough at work today.</p> <p>I called the pediatrician to ask if I could give her Advil since she turns 6 months next week. And they said no. They also told me to not use orajel, or any teething tablets, on a baby her age, since they are a numbing agent, could numb her throat, and cause a choking hazzard. </p> <p>The teething tablets don't work, Orajel, is the only thing that seems to help her. She will be crying in pain, and right after we put it on her, she calms down.<br /> They said to give her teething rings, she doesn't like them. Suggested putting a wet washcloth in the freezer, then in a ziploc bag and let her chew on that. I am not putting a ziploc bag in her mouth. </p> <p>What else can I do to help her? I just want her to get some rest and stop hurting. She was breaking my heart last night. </p>
