Teething...i am at my wits end...?

I have give all kind of advice on this subject from teething rings to teething gels to rum to a wash cloth... but NOTHING is working on her. Any other home remadies i could try?

Teething...i am at my wits end...?
go to your local grocery and buy these teething tablets. they are tiny pills that melt immediatly when you put them in your childs mouth.. i used them with my 2 children i always put two tiny pills in there mouth with a shot of tylenol and they were okay...please trust me it realy works...i wouldn't give false info to another loving parent
Reply:Have you tried tylenol or motrin?
Reply:tylenol first,then baby oragel or anbesol,take her a bath,give her a fresh bottle,then some teething rings,some that go in the freezer are good,she may get fever,diahrrea


teething is usually bad but u may wanna take her for a check up because it could be something like an earache,that's why tylenol is always good in case something else hurts,that's what happened with my baby i thought it was teething,but it was an earache...





also heard there's something called humphrey's for teething supposed to be natural but tylenol is gentle on her stomach,more so than motrin.
Reply:OK, I am totally against giving a baby sweets, but if you put a little bit of sugar on the tip of a pacifier it can help because sugar is a natural pain killer.





Are you sure she is teething? 3 months is pretty young for that!
Reply:frozen eggo waffles they taste good and are cold and a little tough but watch out they get messy
Reply:I always liked the old frozen waffle. Just toss the kid an Eggo right out of the freezer, it's cold and they absorb drool. But when it's just too intense it's time for the medicine. Talk to your doctor but infant Tylanol helped my daughter when nothing else would. Usually let her sleep instead of scream too.
Reply:There isn't really anything you can do. Be careful to not cause any damage. If you are using a gel ring, try putting it in the freezer for a bit. But mainly, just be patient.
Reply:yes, this one is safe and cheap. take a four inch piece of raw carrot {a thick one}, and let her gum away. it stays cold for hours, has enough give for gumming, is disposable and easily renuable and it will save your sanity. best of all, it is completely non toxic and not a choking hazard





ps. you can also partially freeze the carrot if your child can tolerate it. mine could and it worked wonders
Reply:put your finger i whiskey then rub the teeth it works real good plus take a shoot for your self
Reply:I think my son had the worst case in the history or teething. The only thing that worked was bourbon. We would fill about a capful and stick our finger in it. He'd suck it off and shut up for awhile. That kid loved bourbon. Couse now he's 24 and REALLY likes to drink. LOL No connection, Irish and all. Good luck.
Reply:I used Hyland's Teething tablets. They are 100% natural and I felt they worked quite well.
Reply:you can give her tylenol i do beleive it works quite well for teething. Aside from that if she is really in distress a trip to the doctor may be the best thing for her. Its hard to see them that much in distress. Lots of cuddles, freeze a washcloth for her to chew on - but i am sure you have also tried all of these. Good luck!\








Heres some more tips:





Wipe your baby's face often with a cloth to remove the drool and prevent rashes from developing.


Place a clean, flat cloth under the baby's head during sleep to catch the drool. This way, you'll only have to change the cloth when it gets wet, not the whole sheet.


Give your baby something to chew on. Make sure it's big enough so that he or she can't swallow it and that it can't break into small pieces. A wet washcloth placed in the freezer for 30 minutes makes a handy teething aid - just be sure to wash it after each use. Rubber teething rings are also good, but avoid the ones with liquid inside because they may break. If you use a teething ring, be sure to take it out of the freezer before it becomes rock hard - you don't want to bruise those already swollen gums!


Rub your baby's gums with a clean finger.


Never tie a teething ring around a baby's neck, as it could get caught on something and strangle the baby.


If your baby seems irritable, acetaminophen may help - but always consult your child's doctor first.





Never place an aspirin against the tooth, and don't rub whiskey on your baby's gums.
Reply:Give Tylenol every 4 hours DO NOT GIVE MORE THAN THE RECOMMENDED DOSE. A big glass of rum- for YOU not the baby.
Reply:i have 3 children and all the tactics in the world are not going to help... i just kept baby oragel handy and a bib for alllllll the slobber and just grit teeth until it calms down
Reply:My sister is going through the same thing w/her son right now. She gives him infant tylenol, or infant motrin, try wetting a washcloth and freeze it, its a very fustrating time, but hang in there and good luck!!
Reply:I have used these with BOTH my kids (that cut teeth early, my just-turned-2 year old has all her baby teeth already).


It works wonderfully. Read up on the product. It is completely safe.
Reply:OMG please dont use the gels. How do you think a baby will reflex from chocking if the baby cant feel she or he is choking? OK, heres your answer to the end of your problem...GO the the store. Safe way sells it for sure..and wal mart i think...the brand is hylands.....they are teething tablets...they are so small...and they desalve you can put em in water juice or food if you would like...your baby will be better. teething tablets! GO GET EM and check out other stuff from hylands i find they all work..
Reply:I am sending a ton of links that you can look through...some with warnings concerning some cures. My five babies all took Hyland's Teething Tablets which you can find at the drugstore, grocery store, etc. A few of them teethed on jerky and some on popsicles...don't ever leave your teether alone with these things. You need to definitely be in control of the amount and the length of time they have these things. I wouldn't give a child alcohol especially at three months. Very easy age to overdose or have bad reactions. A cold damp washcloth is good to suck on. One of my grandkids loved that. A lavender or chamomile bath would probably help her too. Mom, you need to drink some of the chamomile tea and maybe ask a trusted friend or relative to watch baby for awhile while you take a relaxing bath and a nap or just go somewhere for awhile. If you're at wit's end, your baby knows and you'll never calm her down. Good luck to you and baby. Things are going to be alright....





Adding this because of the carrot idea...





What can I do to ease my baby's discomfort?


Give your child something to chew on, such as a firm rubber teething ring or a cold washcloth. If your baby is old enough to eat solids, he may also get some relief from cold foods such as applesauce or yogurt. Giving him a hard, unsweetened teething cracker such as zwieback to gnaw on is another time-honored trick. (Avoid carrots, as they can be a choking hazard.) Simply rubbing a clean finger gently but firmly over your baby's sore gums can ease the pain temporarily, too.





If these methods aren't working, some doctors recommend giving a teething baby a small dose of children's pain reliever such as infants' acetaminophen — but check with your doctor before giving your baby any medication. (Never give your baby aspirin or even rub it on his gums to ease the pain. The use of aspirin in children is associated with Reye's syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening condition.)





You can also rub your baby's gums with a topical pain relief gel such as Orajel or Zilactin, but most pediatricians advise against it: If too much gel is used, it can numb the back of your baby's throat and weaken his gag reflex (which helps prevent him from choking on his own saliva). The gels are generally safe to use, but in rare cases can cause an allergic reaction.





If drool causes a rash on your baby's face, wipe, but don't rub, the drool away with a soft cotton cloth. You can also smooth petroleum jelly on his chin before a nap or bedtime to protect the skin from further irritation.

Reply:my son never used any of the above as he just popped his teeth out without any trouble. my other children however were totally different. i tried all sorts of things. the best thing i found is to let them suck on things that are cold as it numbs the gums. ice-cream worked well with mine. try the panadol before bed then you should at least have your daughter settled for the night. sometimes giving them too much panadol doesn't work as their body gets immuned to it.
Reply:Keep tylenol or motrin in her system so she won't feel the pain to much. This will help her to be less cranky. Let her chew on a toothbrush (you could even freeze one). Try one of the spin brushes. She might like that.. I bought my daughters a set of teething 'sticks'. You can get some at wal-mart in the baby isle. They loved those. There are three different ones and each has there own shape and texture. We used all of these and that is how we got through it! Oh also there is this thing you can buy at wal-mart by the baby spoons. It has a little mesh compartment that you use to put food in for baby so she can eat without choking.. get one of these and put ice in it. My last daughter loved this! It is by Munchkin I believe..
Reply:when my baby went through the teething stage...this may sound weird but trust me rub ice all over for a lil while it wil num her/his gums....thats what i did...and it was a life saver!good luck hang in there it will get better!
Reply:Frozen Blueberry waffles...





I teethed both my kids on them... the cold numbs the gums, the harderness helps the skin break and when they get wet they are soaggy so no chance of choking...





I used to cut them in quarters, but I think you can buy mini waffles now.
Reply:If you try tylenol your baby could get addicted to it. I gave my little girl small ice chips although she wasn't fussy at all, I just knew there had to have been some discomfort.
