We use the toys you freeze and they can chew on. The teething tablets have been recalled a number of times, I would not feel comfortable using them.

@Ina85: the tablets you're describing sound like something homeopathic to me. There are a few different types of powders and tablets you can get. You'd have to go to a natural health store around you to see what they have. They don't have numbing agents in th like oracle. For my first I froze pieces of celery and gave them to her to gnaw on and that was the best teething tool I used. I'd give her Tylenol at nap time or bedtime if she seemed very upset by it.

The best thing for us was Advil and a wooden spoon to gnaw on. He carried that thing around everywhere.

Baby Advil mostly. DS1 liked to chew on his lovey - it was a fleecy minky little handtowel sized lovey and he would gnaw the corners. DS2 sucked his fingers nonstop.

I've never really done much b/c I never really know if it's teething or what haha! I try not to give meds so aside from cold safe things to chew on I've never done much. I considered am amber anklet for DD2 this time but never got around to it!

We just used Advil if it was really bad. Most of the freezer teething rings I didn't like because they were so hard. I would just freeze wet wash cloths and he could chew on those.

Baby banana brush and there’s one teether that looks like bunny ears (I’ll look for it). And I’ll be honest, I did very small amounts of orajel and Motrin.
The reaction everyone is afraid of in Orajel 1) is very very rare (more infants die from unsafe cosleeping than they do orajel) and 2) it’s a defect they are born with, its not like it will happen to any baby. So I just started with daytime use only in very very small and spread apart doses. Once I was comfortable with his reaction I still used it sparingly, but comfortably overnight. Motrin was also mostly overnight since that’s when he seemed to be most uncomfortable.

ETA: this is the other teether I mentioned. He would go to town on this.

Cold teethers and Advil before bed if they were having trouble staying asleep because night of the pain!

@Ina85: The banana brush isn't really a toothbrush. Its like a teether with rubber "bristles". I think it probably does help keep their teeth clean(er) but its not meant to be used for traditional brushing.
He loved that thing for a long time, well beyond teething!

We have been going through teething misery with our twins for the last few weeks and while I was super skeptical at first, I have a bunch of friends who suggested trying Copaiba essential oil. When the boys were waking up every 30 minutes for a few nights I was willing to try ANYTHING. I can honestly say I believe in it now. We put it on the boys up to a couple times and day and they seem to be way less fussy!
