I am so worried about my nearly 6 month old daughter... she is teething really badly and wont take a bottle at all. Today she has only had 200mls of milk, which is only 5-6 ounces for the entire day. She is having solids three times a day but I read she is supposed to have something like 500-600mls of milk per day. She is up all night for the last week and is miserable all the time. Nap times are also troubled and she is a completely different child... I am feeling so teary because I don't know what to do. I have tried everything and she has been living off Calpol, Bonjela and Teething powders... Do you think she needs to take more milk??? I have taken her to the doc and they think to seem she is OK - is this all normal? I can hear her stiring again and she has only just gone down for the night.... ARGH!!!! Help please.....
Teething... ARGH!!!?
My son is almost 7 months old and has 4 teeth. What I found that helps is this...
Night time baby Orajel (comes with a finger fitted gum massager for EASY application)
Lavender bath soap routine before bed
And frequent feedings
I feed my son cereal twice a day and a jar of baby food once a day. He eats 4oz every 2-3 hours still but isn't an overweight baby. I guess it just depends on the child. With all the crawling my son does no wonder, he's burning it all off. lol He rarely ever eats 6 oz at a time cause when he does it comes right back up.
If you're doc thinks she's ok then that's fine. Teething is not only rough on the child but also the parents. I know that every time my child would get a tooth it was a week of getting up at least once a night.
It's pretty normal how she's acting, but not necessarily how much milk she's intaking. I do recommend getting her that night time baby orajel cause that helped with my son. Maybe she'll eat more if it's numbed better? Also let her chew on lots and lots of teething rings cause that'll make the process go by faster.
ALSO, no one told me about nipple sizes I had to find out for myself. grrr You may want to go up to a higher level of flow. When I changed that and started using the lavender soup my son began to sleep through the time. He was 5 months old, boy did that suck. Then teething happened so I got the night time kind of orajel and all turned out well.
Reply:sorry cant help, experiencing similar - post back how u get on
Reply:Get her a cold rag and tie ice in it. Or get a cold ice cube and put on her gums. Also give her a cold nipple. If not get her some medicine from the doctor.
Reply:As long as she gets some milk in, I wouldn't worry. If she eats baby cereal/rice, mix it with her formula to get more in her. Try making the bottles cold. My son always took his bottles very warm until he started to teeth. The coldness soothes their gums and feels good.
Try giving her a dose of Infant Motrin an hour before bedtime. It lasts 8 hours and it'll kick in before she goes down. Teething tablets sold at Walmart work too. MUCH easier then trying to put baby oragel on their gums. They dissolve instantly after you stick them in their mouth. They are tiny tablets (smaller then birth control pills).
I know it's tough, but good luck!
Reply:Babies wont starve themselves. My little one actually started teething at 3.5 months and there was a week I thought she wasn't hardly getting anything in her. But she made it through and started eating better. You just have to wait it out...and try and make them as comfortable as possible. My little girl is now 5 months old. It seems the teething has let up...if that's possible...or maybe it's just not bothering her as much. I guess there are just stages. I tried swabs that you rub the meds on their gums...seemed to work a little.
Reply:This will not sound very PC,but my mother used to buy a small bottle of whisky and rub a tiny bit on my brother and sisters gums,and she said it always worked to numb the teething bit.Personally i am a bit sceptical,but my brothers and sisters are not,all of them having children and me not.
Reply:give your child, aston and parsons. i used these for both my children and they are great! they sooth the gums and the stomach! they help the child to calm down. here is a web link for more info:
http://www.expresschemist.co.uk/product_...
you can also buy them in boots!
they work really well and very quickly! even if they dont work for your baby, use them yourself as they will help you to calm down!!!
i am not sure if these are the powders you have tried already but they have worked for everyone i know!!!
have you also tried giving your daughter milk off a spoon or a srynge? this might help as there will be nothing resting on the gum! dont give her anything frozen as you will burn her delicate skin around her mouth and the coldness of it is not good for her stomach!
hope this helps! and remember this time will pass eventually!!
Reply:Both my kids were horrible monsters when teething. The only thing that we found that worked was these little disolvable tablets called Hyland teething tablets (www.hylands.com/products/teething.php) They were a God send for us and the little monsters... There's nothing worse that feeling like there is nothing you can do for the little one, there worth a shot...
Reply:This is going to sound crazy, but it works. When my first child was teething my mom rubbed tequila on her gums and it worked miracles. I now have another and will definitely be trying that with her once she starts teething. Of course, your'e only rubbing it on there gums so it wont harm them.
Reply:If she is eating solids, then make her solids up with formula - so you could make up baby rice with a few ounces of formula, or make a sauce with formula. That would get a few more ounces into her.
I put my baby in his cot with a teether in her hand, and then he can chew that. Chewing on plastic is the only thing that calms him down.
I feel for you - I am going through the same thing at the moment. But it won't last long. Those teeth will be through soon.

Teething biscuits that melt in the mouth?
My daughter is almost 6 months old and is teething as well as being very interested in food.
I want to give her teething biscuits but I dont want to give her ones that she could choke on. What are the best ones out there?
Please, no answers about not using them.
Teething biscuits that melt in the mouth?
I give my daughter rice rusks (not sure if it's spelled right) and she does well with them. Of course with any teething foods you need to make sure they are well supervised, but she really likes them and I haven't had problems with them. They dissolve and taste like kix cereal. My daughter is 6 months as well. As long as she is supervised you are fine. They basically end up being like baby cereal when dissolved. I've never had a problem with them.
Reply:arrowroot cookies are really good,they come in banana or just regular. my son loved them for teething purposes.
Reply:I bought these rice rusks today that say they melt in the mouth, safe for baby starting solids. Well, I give him one (he is 7 months) and a piece breaks off in his mouth. I pulled it out right away. It was not melting, it was big/small enough for him to choke on! I was pissed. Anyway, i'm going to try something different like good old biscuits or frozen banana.
Reply:arrowroot biscuits, melt in the mouth. They used to be in the baby food aisle of the grocery store (my youngest is 4, so it's been a while). They're made by Nabisco I think.
Although they melt in your mouth, they also break easy, so be careful and never leave her alone with them. She could still get a big piece off and choke before it melts.
Another great thing for teething is put a frozen banana in one of those nylon teething pouch things. The cold soothes sore gums and the piece of banana that come through the mesh are too small to choke on and by the time she gets it through the mesh it's not frozen anymore.

Teething advice?
I give my daughter Motrin, teething tablets, orajel. What else, besides those things, can I do for her? She doesn't care for her teething ring. She's 18 months old.
Teething advice?
Since she is 18 months old, she has a molar or two (I am guessing).
My daughter LOVES refrigerated bananas. She chomps on them and they cool her gums down.
Try it.
Reply:let her chew on something soft but firm
Reply:ice cubes in washcloths, hard crackers, advil if she's in pain, and popsicles.
Reply:fingers works..my son loved that..just make sure your hands are clean.
Reply:Take a Popsicle stick and gently rub on any gums that are still covering the top of the teeth. (DO NOT SCRAPE!!)
Reply:I kept a stack of frozen wet washcloths ready. My kids loved to chew on them. It really helped with the teething pain.
Reply:Try giving her a popcicle
Reply:all u can do is let her bite something hard not too hard mind. mine had terrible time dring teething. best of luck
Reply:Bare with her it wont last forever, and nothing gets rid of the pain for long !! I rubbed Whiskey on my kids gums, your mama probably did too, it is definatly old school.
Reply:You can get those mesh things that have a handle. They are usually used to put fruit inside so the baby can chew and not choke on the fruit. You can put an ice cube in there.
I wouldn't give her Motrin. That seems a little much.
Reply:cold washcloth,popsicles,childrens tylenol-thats all i used for my son
Reply:my favorite thing when i was little was this chew thingy with this gel on the inside. my mom would put it in the freezer so it was frozen and all. its A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
i used the same thing when my wizdom teeth came in. trust me. it helps so much.
Reply:if your daughter is breastfed you can give her breastmilk freezes ( homemade) you can do the same with homo milk and or formula, put the milk in an ice cube tray until frozen get one of them net like things that stops large pieces from getting out and chokin your little one and give it to her to naw on, You can buy sugar less freezes from all stores and give them to her. Frozen banana pieces works well.
Pretty much anything that is cold will work wonders. Mortin is an anti inflanatory which means it will take the swelling down in her gums and aswell as the pain it is better than tylenol.
There is a toy called the Super Yummy it is from discoverytoys and is about 13.00 or so and it is amazing for teething, it is red
Good luck
Reply:My daughter loved frozen apple and orange slices.
Good, messy (yes) but kept her from crying since her gums were numb from coldness.
18 months so she can eat them.
Reply:Zweback cookies (Nabisco ?) in the baby isle. My parents swear by them. My son didn't care for them but he's almost 17 months and isn't teething anymore--he was an early teether. Try it!
Reply:soft cold and chewy things like a cold banana or an ice pop
Reply:SUGAR TIT!! It is what my grandma and mom used. You get some sugar...put it in some kind of mesh cloth she can suck on and dip it in Rum. Not kidding it works like a charm...my daughter started teething 2 days after my husband got deployed and that was the only thing that worked.
Reply:I know a lot of people have already mentioned it, but the mesh thing. You can put ice chips, frozen banana, or another type of fruit. You can even freeze fruit juice and put in there. The frozen washcloths are great too. I also only used the night time baby oragel with mine. My oldest also did love those gerber biscuit things. Boy are they messy! Mine also really loved bath time, so while he was teething I used it to distract him. He was too busy having fun to notice the pain. Maybe let her do something fun like finger paints. You'll have a mess on your hands, but that beats hearing her cry and she has some good fun. Hope this helps!

Teething queston?
My daughter is 5 1/2 mos. She's been cranky every night for the last week and hasn't hardly slept either, she's been drooling and chewing on her fist for the last month. I know these are all signs of teething, but just in the last week, she's been spitting up a lot, pretty much after every time she eats or drinks something. I've noticed it more just yesterday and today. Is this also part of teething? I have plans to contact her doctor tomorrow but I'm just curious to know what mommies think. I'm a first time mom. Thank you.
Teething queston?
Yes, it is. Give her the teething rings. Also rub some whisky on her gums. It really works.
Reply:Yes this is normal when a child is teething and sometimes that have diarrhea as well so be prepared. For the vomiting try pedialyte to replace her electrolytes from all that vomiting.
Reply:Could be teething but it could also be somehting she is eating? Is she on cereal yet? If so try a different kind (rice, ost, etc..).
Reply:Yes its OK feel her gums or look in her mouth to see if there are white dots let her chew on some thing cold
some good things are put a put a carrot in the freezer and let her chew on it or a waffle
and a ice bag but be careful she could chew a hole in it. they have textured toys that are good
they have baby oragel
I agree with the wiskey it may sound bad but its just a couple of drops off your finger you will see a marked inprovemnet for hours
Reply:Baby oral gel for the gums.Also a pop sickle they come in real fruit flavors.The coolness will help.Grandma's give them a soft cloth with chipped ice.inside.The babies chewed on it for comfort.
Reply:Yes, the spitting up is probably caused by teething. My dd got her first tooth right at 5 1/2 months.
My son currently has 5 teeth at 8 months. I know when he is teething hard core because his stool get soooo stinky. We say that it is "acidic" from all the drool he is swallowing.
Teething is on going. It really seems to go on for months and months. So, you will figure out what comforts your baby the best. My dd liked to nurse, my ds likes to bite me while nursing... Ha ha. My dd loved ice chips, my ds hates super cold stuff.
Reply:Put her teeting rings in the frigerator so they can be cold for her gums, also try baby orajel! That helps!

Teething baby.?
Our baby is teething early. Seems she does everything early. She is even in the 95% for length. Need some advice on teething. first baby.
Teething baby.?
Our baby is teething too. If she doesn't seem in pain, just drooly and chewy, give her some things to chew. My kids liked the rubber teething rings(I put them in the fridge). Our baby is having alot of pain so we're using baby orajel. YOu can usually tell where the tooth is coming in by where the swelling is. He's also been getting low fevers in the evening so we've been using tylenol for that. Frozen washcloths are great when they can hold them themselves. Just wet a corner, freeze for about 10 minutes, and they can chomp away. It helps take down the swelling, and it's not a huge mess. I've heard a rash can be common too, but I don't have any experience with that. Good Luck
Reply:baby orajel works wonders, teething rings(you can put them in the freezer or fridge to be cold they like them better), give her a cold wash cloth, popsicles, clean her gums gently or brush with a baby toothbrush just with water she'll like the feeling.
Reply:well orajel never worked with my kids, so i used to get a qtip and dip it into some whiskey and rub it on their gums and that helped them so much better and the doctor said it was okay,, or let her chew on a frozen french fry or a frozen wash cloth
Reply:How old is your baby? My baby just had her first 2 teeth pop through the gums, but she's been teething for about a month or so. She is almost 5 months old now.
Give her stuff to chew on. You probably have the problem I have, all of the teething rings are too heavy for her to hold in her mouth, so are wet wash cloths. I ended up giving my baby whatever she could hold to her mouth to chew on which ended up being - receiving blankets (which we use for spit up rags anyways), really small stuff animals, we have a soft ring toy that squeaks, rattles, etc. she chews on that, as well as those plastic links you can buy and link together in a chain. She can hold those good, and you can hook a chain of them to her car seat etc.
Other than that you can try Tylenol, teething tablets, and a very small amount of oragel if needed. I only use the oragel as a very last resort when she is inconsolable.
You can also try massaging her gums with clean hands (and trimmed fingernails), sometimes that gives them some temporary relief and they calm down a little bit.
Oh, and I don't know that those charts are always right. At her 2 month appt she was in the 95th percentile in height and weight. At 4 months she was 75% in weight and OFF the scale for height, the Dr. said she was the avg. height of a 7 month old! I think as long as your baby is making steady progress, don't worry about all those numbers too much :)
Reply:give her something to teeth on like putting a teething ring in the freezer and let her teeth on that, my mom gave my brother a carrot to teeth on when he was a baby so really anything that is safe and okay for him to chew on is okay for her to teeth with, give her Tylenol especially if she has a fever and just hold and cuddle her as cuddling with mommy or daddy can always make you feel better when you don't feel good
Reply:How old is your baby? Our 9 month old has shown signs of teething since he was 3 months old (red cheeks, lots of drool, bum rash) but no teeth yet. It has been a LONG process and sometimes teeth can move up and down until they finally poke through. Advice....give her a teething ring or cool face cloth for comfort. Massage her gums with a clean finger. If she is clearly uncomfortable give her tylenol but don't give tylenol without reason as studies are showing that parents are overdosing their babies with meds and this is leading to liver failure. So, use this route only if she is clearly uncomfortable. Don't use teething gel as it can cause too much numbness and can cause your baby to choke. I tried it on myself and stayed numb for 7 hours. I used it once on my baby and he was uncomfortable with it all night long. I hope this helps but remember, although you think she is teething, you might not see anything for a long time.
Reply:My daughter is 5 now she did everything early even walked at 7months. I found out that she hated the orajel. What worked for me was Juice Popsicles the ones with 100% juice. The coldnest of the popsicle soothed her gums a lot better than putting a teething ring in the freezer.
Reply:Give her a cold, hard object. Its been shown that instead of "Soft" like parents usually offer, that something firm or hard will help the tooth to break through the skin faster.

Questions about teething?
does teething mess with the sleeping habits and feeding habits.. my pediatrician said my son is teething ..and his schedule that he normally is on has been hay wire...and sometimes he will eat more and then less..so i didnt know if this had anything to do with teething..?
Questions about teething?
Yep it sound like your little guy is definitely teething. They make teething tablets you can give. They come in daytime and nighttime tablets. Frozen wash cloths and teething rings will help too.
Reply:It has everything to do with teething.Poor little thing is in pain.
Reply:surely.
his mouth hurts. sometimes so bad he cant sleep well or eat well. then when it feels better ..... he's really hungry and will eat more.
Reply:teething messes with all kinds of things and even more so when it comes to sleeping. use some tylenol before bed because teething gets worse when babies sleep
Reply:Lol, my daughter is teething too and she's been haywire lately and driving me nuts. Won't eat her solids for a day and a half and not drinking as many bottles, then eating a bunch at one sitting and ready for more twenty minutes later, lol. Sleeping's all messed up too and she's broken about 6 nipples gumming them so hard the holes become huge. It's a pain in our butts lol, but it's harder on them. Just keep using the relief method that works best(teething tablets, orajel, frozen wash cloth, etc) and remember it is a stage(well that's what they've told me, she's my 1st, lol) Good luck!
Reply:yes it can mess up sleeping and eating habits.
Try giving him teething tablets, i got them at the pharmacy in the baby aisle, they also have them at the health food store. They are homeopathic and all natural. They dissolve right under the tongue. If my son is inconsolable, i stick one under his tongue and he's asleep in 5 minutes. that's how i know its his teeth bothering him. i don't do it often, but i know i can if i need to!
Reply:think about it like this...when you're mouth hurts (sore gums, sensitive teeth, tooth ache, abscess tooth, do you feel like eating? Also, teething can be a cause of fever, diarrhea, consitpation, ear ache...would you feel like eating then? How do you think you would sleep?
To soothe him, try letting him suck on a frozen washcloth.
Hylands Teething Tablets work wonders...far better than Orajel or Ambesol (there's also a brand called Little Teethers Teething Tablets, but they don't melt as well...could pose as a choking hazard). And baby will most likely glady take it (mine did and she would NEVER take the Orajel or Ambesol...also, with the Orajel and Ambesol, if you use it too often, it causes the gums to harden, which makes the teething process longer and MORE painful in the long run. The tablets don't have that effect. I get the tablets at Babies R Us and Publix.
My daughter also likes frozen carrots, frozen broccoli, frozen cucumber, and frozen celery. This helps her teething and acts as a teething toy, but without the threat of toxic plastic chemicals leeching into her gums.

An acetaminophen overdose can lead to life-threatening liver and kidney problems.
Acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. People often think that acetaminophen, a pain-relieving medicine, is extremely safe. However, it may be deadly if taken in large doses.
Reply:yes he can have teething tablets and give him a frozen bagel to naw on it helps and feels good to the gums
Reply:when teething, his gums may be swollen, and that cause an uncomfortable feeling on chewing hot food
try to give him food from fridge, so can cool down his uncomfortable feeling
what is orayel? is that teether? u can get him a teether, put in in fridge before give it to the baby
no need any tablet, just give him panadol baby to relief the pain
my doctor said it is safe to give panadol baby quite often (1 - 2 times a day, preferable just once a day) when ur baby is irritated......
Reply:Of course it'll hurt him to eat. I know for mine I would have to try over and over again for him to drink his bottle and eventually he'd take it. When mine was teething, I didn't really like orajel b/c he didn't like the feeling and the flavors grossed him out which led other problems. For his fussiness I used these natural teething pellets that you can find at CVS or Walgreens. I know that they have some for the pain but I haven't been able to find those. Give him something to chew on.

Questions about teething?
Yep it sound like your little guy is definitely teething. They make teething tablets you can give. They come in daytime and nighttime tablets. Frozen wash cloths and teething rings will help too.
Reply:It has everything to do with teething.Poor little thing is in pain.
Reply:surely.
his mouth hurts. sometimes so bad he cant sleep well or eat well. then when it feels better ..... he's really hungry and will eat more.
Reply:teething messes with all kinds of things and even more so when it comes to sleeping. use some tylenol before bed because teething gets worse when babies sleep
Reply:Lol, my daughter is teething too and she's been haywire lately and driving me nuts. Won't eat her solids for a day and a half and not drinking as many bottles, then eating a bunch at one sitting and ready for more twenty minutes later, lol. Sleeping's all messed up too and she's broken about 6 nipples gumming them so hard the holes become huge. It's a pain in our butts lol, but it's harder on them. Just keep using the relief method that works best(teething tablets, orajel, frozen wash cloth, etc) and remember it is a stage(well that's what they've told me, she's my 1st, lol) Good luck!
Reply:yes it can mess up sleeping and eating habits.
Try giving him teething tablets, i got them at the pharmacy in the baby aisle, they also have them at the health food store. They are homeopathic and all natural. They dissolve right under the tongue. If my son is inconsolable, i stick one under his tongue and he's asleep in 5 minutes. that's how i know its his teeth bothering him. i don't do it often, but i know i can if i need to!

Teething and a rash?
i think my son is teething hes 8.5 months and doesnt have any yet... hes been fussy all this week and yeasterday he got red patches on back and tummy and today they r turning into little bumps.. is it because hes teething?
Teething and a rash?
Theonly rash your little one could possibly get from teething is one around his mouth from the constant drool. Im no professional, but I am guessing the rash on his tummy and back are unrelated. Id consider getting it checked. Good Luck!
Reply:you're son is 8.5 and yes he might be teething or just being silly. but the rash and bumps no. i think he got bit while sleeping in his crib, or crawling on a rug baybe from you're dog if you have one im a baby sitter i have to deal with this all the time. im glade i can help. :)
