I keep seeing advice for frozen fruit in mesh or teething cookies. I need some other advice. She has on her baltic amber and I've been giving her those hylands teething tablets. What else can I do? She's 2 months old. The incoming tooth looks so painful!!
-
frozen wet washcloth.
-
@Dandelion: She will know how to chew it?
-
@anonysquire: you can just put it against her gums. But, she'll gum it if it feels good.
-
Frozen breast milk in a mesh feeder.
-
@Dandelion: thanks!
@oliviaoblivia: Good idea! Like freeze it into an ice cube and put it in there?
-
@anonysquire: I froze breast milk in little ice cube trays (silicone ones shaped like hearts) and popped the cubes (well, hearts) out and put in the mesh feeder. Seemed to help a little and the cubes were small enough that there wasn't a ton of wasted melty breastmilk.
Poor baby-2 months is so young!
-
@anonysquire: yup. A little bit smaller to be able to fit in the feeder.
-
@Foodnerd81: ya I'm feeling so bad for her. She's been crying and she never ever cries! Everyone keeps saying it will go back down but it seems really near the surface and red and sore.
Thanks for the tips!!,

I thought my LO was teething at 2 months too but he didn't cut a tooth until nearly 9 months. He was fussy and drooly and I thought I saw a bump on his gums. I did the frozen bm in mesh feeders and soft plastic teething rings cooled in the fridge.
-
@Applesandbananas: Our experience was very similar. We had the best luck in offering a variety of teethers. These worked the best, since they were easy for little hands to hold:

@Applesandbananas: was his little bump sore looking at the top too? It would be nice if it goes back down til she's older haha.
-
@anonysquire: FWIW, I had two teeth by 3.5 months! I also froze breastmilk and used it in mesh feeders like @oliviaoblivia: did.
-
Hyland's teething tablets did nothing to help our son but these drops were/are invaluable: http://www.mamarosesnaturals.com/product.asp?SKU=181195000102
So sorry your little one is hurting! I hate teething.
-
@anonysquire: it seemed to really bother him!
-
I think she loves it!
-
Camilia has worked wonders for us!
My son also loves Sophie and the vibrating teething toy.
-
@QBbride: I can't get her to do anything with her Sophie
-
@anonysquire: yeah some babies don't take to her! 2 months is pretty young though. My son didn't like her until he was older than that!
-
@anonysquire: LO didn't like Sophie until he was 6.5 months old, so just give it some time!

We have this vibrating teether, he likes it but I have to pinch it so it vibrates, he doesn't bite on it steady enough to keep it going on his own.https://www.etsy.com/listing/159670366/wood-teething-ring-replacement-or-extra?ref=sr_gallery_5&ga_search_query=wood+teether&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery
I have these too, and he likes them because they're easy to hold and are supposed to feel like chewing on a finger?I hadn't thought of the frozen milk in the mesh feeder. I just bought one and was wondering what I could put in it!
-
@QBbride: DS loved this as well.
She is probably too young to know to bite down on the vibrating teethers but you can activate it for her and place in her mouth.
-
I'm pretty sure I can see the tooth. There is a white line in the middle of the bump that looks right under the skin. Does this sound like the tooth???
-
@anonysquire: sounds like a tooth! Poor thing! Once it comes through it usually gets better though.
I could never get LO to chew on any of those frozen things.
He also wasn't really into Sophie until he was 5 months or so
-
Holy sh*t!!!! The tooth broke through the gums. My little 2 month old has a freaking tooth! Ong!!!!
-
@anonysquire: Oof! Good luck to mama and Z. Hopefully she'll feel relief now.
-
@indi: she actually seems to be hurting more now that it's out
do you know if that's normal?
