7week old teething?
he's pretty young. I know you want to give some relief, but the baby orajel is for 4 months and up, and the teething ring is for babies who have more developed motor skills. You may have to gently rub his gums with a cold rag.
Reply:At that age the likelyhood that any teether will be chewed on is low...try a soothie brand suckie/binky...





You can use the oragel stuff, it should be fine. And you can give him the recommended amount of tylenol too.
Reply:i don't think he's too little for a TINY amount of gel. but instead i would suggest wetting a washcloth with some purified water and freezing it in a sandwich bag... take it out, and then you have a teether, any size you need (fold it before freezing).
Reply:Every child is different and you can't control when they start teething. I am sure there is something out there you can buy for early teethers. As far as the teething gel goes, I would ask a doctor or use very little. That gel is very strong. Good luck! Congratulations on your new little one!!!
