Any experience with these? Did they help?
-
I used them a few times, and noticed a difference after giving them to him. My daycare requested them also.
-
Yes!
I thought they were great.
-
No difference for us.
-
Yes over here
-
Yes here. Maybe it's a placebo effect, but we love those suckers around here.
-
They work for us!
-
They definitely made/make a difference for us! Love them!
-
I agree possibly placebo but they seemed to do something. LO used to get really excited to see the container!
-
Yes, definitely a lifesaver!
-
No difference for us
-
I thought they made a difference.
-
Definitely work for us
-
Worked for us!
-
Nope for us.
-
The effect is short-lived but remarkable for us. I give him two when he's really upset by his teeth.
-
No difference for us, found out shortly after that our pediatrician is emphatically against them due to past safety issues, so we threw them away.
-
Yes works for us! He immediately calms down after I give him some.
-
They did not work for my first child, but it's working for my second child.
-
Yes for us. My LO always seems to calm down and he always is excited to get them. I was wondering why he was so excited and tried it thinking maybe it was semi sweet but it just tastes like chalk.
-
They work for our lo. When he was 4 months old, he was teething something fierce and wouldn't stop screaming. My friend popped a couple in his mouth and he calmed down and fell asleep. We were sold
-
They worked for us, especially when he was having trouble going down for a nap due to teething.
-
Loved them!! We always used 4 at a time even though I think it says 2-3 at a time.

@lemondrop: did your ped explain why? My ped said the same thing and cited the belladonna. We were there got a different reason so I didn't get into it too much but now I am wondering why they are so against the tablets.
I see on google how they were recalled a few years ago but I didn't find anything recent.
Just wondering f other had a similar recommendation from their ped on this! -
@Aimed: My uncle is a ped, and our own local ped both cited the belladonna too and they both were involved with children that reacted very badly to it during the recall time.
I can't imagine they they would keep the tablets on the market if the problem hasn't been fixed, but after researching regulations on holistic meds/herbs on the market and since I have worked with belladonna derivatives in lab animal medicine, we decided it wasn't worth the risk.
We use the amber teething necklace/anklet, and once old enough- have only ever needed an NSAID 3 times during teething (canines twice, molars once). I have no regrets with the route we have taken, and plan to do the same with our next son
-
i didn't notice an iota of difference. i think my LO got distracted for a few seconds after eating them, in which we enjoyed some blissful silence, but then it was back to business as usual.
-
@lemondrop: thanks for the info!! Sometime 'natural' things worry me more as there is little or no regulations.
-
Yes, they helped! Daycare also prefers that brand.
-
I was going to ask this today, too! I think I am going to pick some up tonight. I have heard good things.
-
They are magic....when they're actually having teething problems. What can I say? I've been guessing teething pain since they were three months, and still nary a tooth between them.
BUT, the last few weeks, we've had some days where their gums were really swollen & red, massive drooling, restless at night, etc. We gave them the tablets and it was magic. Also, our daycare teacher asked us to bring them up there because she loves them.
