Hi
I posted a question about my daughter teething and i just had another couple of questions:
What is Tylenol ( im from UK)
Also, my daughter was up nearly every hour at night!
I realise teething can bring on things such as earache so i gave her some baby Nurofen (i think this may be the British version of Tylenol) and she slept through the night peacefully.
Someone told me i shouldnt give her it unless she has a temp. Her temp was fine but something was hurting her and the medicine certainly seemed to help her.
Should i continue to give her Baby Nurofen at night (i dont give her it during the day as it doesnt seem to be hurting as much and i take her mind off it by playing with her, taking her out a walk etc)
I ask because she was very grumpy during the day as she has always been a baby who loves her sleep at night!
Thanks
7 month teething?
I'm from uk and i used to give my daughter calpol at night to help her sleep with her teeth. seemed to work fine. babies can get a temp from teething but not always and calpol is designed for teething not just temps, same as baby nurofen. My daughter is now 2 and still teething! I give her calpol night now occasionally as it has a mild sedative in and helps her sleep when her teeth hurt. its suitable from 3 months and even says on box - to help relieve teething pain and aid a restful nights sleep.
Reply:Try going to your local pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist... they will be able to help you with products and dosage.
Reply:well i would give her a pain reliever and fever reducer and try some teeth numbing stuff or you can take a washrag and get it wet and stick it in the freezer for a few hours and let her gnawl on it and that will help with pain, the medicine wont hurt her as long as you follow dosing instructions!
Reply:i don't know if it is the equivilant of Tylenol, but Tylenol is a psin relieve/fever reducer that contains Acetametaphin (spelling is incorrect, but close) it is the only thing safeto use in the states for infants/small children. as long as the medicine advises that it is safe to give it to her on a hightly basis, i think it is ok to keep giving it to her until your doctor's appointment. plus, teething can cause a low-grade fever, sometimes.

I need help with teething son?
My son is starting to drool and his gums are bothering him cause he is starting teething. What is the best thing I can give him to help him with his pain. He does not like teething rings and the teething tablets don't seem to work what else can I try. I always have to wash my hands so he can chew and suck on my fingers.
I need help with teething son?
I used to give my kids a toy that they sell at walmart. It's a beanie baby sized stuffed animal which has plastic bumpy hands and feet. They loved them, and could chew on both the soft and the bumpy. A tie from a bathrobe also worked for us in a pinch.
Reply:As long as he isn't overly fussy then just keep doing what you are doing. Also a damp cold cloth works wonders! If he seems to be in obvious pain, you can give tylenol, and orajel worked best for me. I only had to give tylenol when my son cut his top two teeth.
Reply:U should put some oragel on his gums and try putting the teething ring in the fridge the cold should feel good to his gums that should make him happy.
Reply:There is really not much you can do. My son just got in his 2 bottom teeth and his top are starting to come in. If he feels extra fussy I give him some infants tylenol. I never give him baby origel. He hates the taste and it really isnt good for them. I let him gum on my finger and give him extra cuddles through out the day.
Reply:Hi! Depending on his age check with your doctor and see if Tylenol every 4 hours is ok to give. I did this with my son and it worked very well for us-our doctor was the one who suggested it. Also, try just giving him a teething ring that is not chilled-I know my son would not chew on a cold one but he chewed on them unchilled and loved it! Or if the cold is not the problem try a washcloth (wet it first:) frozen or just a cool washcloth-wring it out and give it to him. Another thing is a pacifier, although my son does not use one he will play with it and chew on it and that acts as a teething ring! Hope this helps!

Reply:Sugar free popsicles!!! When my son is really upset with his teeth, I let him have about 1/4 of a popsicle. He loves it and it makes his gums feel better.
Reply:A wet washcloth works great! My son loved them. Also, they have these mesh things that you can put apple slices in. I would put those, and frozen waffle bits. My son didn't like the teething rings either. I mean come on, have you put one of those in your mouth. Not very tasty. Fingers are their favorite though.
Reply:I have given both of my children my daughter who is three and my son is nine months and i asked their doctor and i gave both of them abesol to them when they were teething and Tylenol, i also tried the teething tablets and they seemed to work only after the tooth had first broken the surface and also baby orajel is good to use but sometimes it is not strong enough and they still cry so i talked to the doctor and use abesol. Hope this helps and good luck.
Reply:When my daughter was teething, we mostly used orajel. At first she balked at the taste, but after a minute (or less) she would realise that the pain was gone, so it didn't take long before she would actually point to her gums and sign for it when she was teething!
My friend said a damp wash cloth helped a lot, too,but we never tried it ourselves. Good luckwith it! And just know that this,too, shall pass!
Reply:when my daughter started to teeth I went to the store and bought a teething ring and some baby orajel.....

Remedies for teething??
My daughter is 6 months and just miserable. She is drooling like mad...ends up soaking my carpet...(lol) and is so fussy. She puts every toy in her mouth and gets so upset when the rattle won't fit in her whole mouth. She tried to chew the coffee table the other day and got mad her head kept hitting it therefore preventing her mouth from reaching it. I wash my hands really good and she will just gnaw on my finger. She chews on her pacifier instead of sucking it, instead of drinking the bottle she chews the nipple. So I am taking this is all signs of her teething, so what remedies will help? I give her teething toys and rub her gums and try to comfort her but I am not sure of any other ideas?..any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Remedies for teething??
Wet/cold wash cloth to chew/suck on
Cold/Frozen carrot to knaw on
Ice cube in mesh feeder bag
Hylands Teething Tablets (All natural, sold in most stores)
Appropriate dose of Motrin or Tylenol, should everything else fail
Baby Oragel (Some say it works, according to AAP it hardens gums, making it difficult for teeth to come thru)
Keep on massaging if she will have it....I use teething rings at room temp for my girl, she will chew on them if not cold, she doesnt like her hands cold...thats all I got...Good Luck!
Reply:Try the teething tablets. I dont remember who makes them but u can get them at walmart. They work great. I lived by them when my kids where younger.
Reply:Tylenol Infant Drops. They really help. You will have to call you doctor to see about the dosage. Put a wet wash cloth in the freezer for a bit and let her chew on that. You can also put it in a zip lock baggie if you don't want the water everywhere.
Reply:Good day,
Teething..... Think frozen peas, Melba tst, frozen banana. cheerios... Web site out there also. Put the teething rings in the freezer. Talk with your Dr. that is what they are there for..Isnt motherhood grand...
Reply:First of all, be careful for the table if it's wood. You don't want splinters or such in her little mouth. :-)
Talking w/ my baby's pediatrician, he told me to take a q-tip and soak it in children's benedryl. This will numb her gums for at least a good hour. The baby oragel did not work for her at all. My daughter is almost 7 months and is still teething, meaning they still have not come thru. The benedryl really seems to work for her and she's not ingesting this as a medicine and it does not make her sleep (since she's not ingesting it). Talk to your pediatrician about using the benedryl before buying it. Your's may have another suggestion instead. Also try wetting one corner of a wash cloth in cold water; my daughter enjoys gumming this also. Best of luck!
Reply:Teething pills work well as does baby oral gel, you can also get some of the kool aid freezer pops hold them let her gum them. If you find a teething toy you freeze they work well too. You can get the teething pills at the drug store and also the oral gel.
Reply:wet a washcloth and put it in the fridge i had the same problem with my 11 month old and still do.she only has cut 3 teeth and i have bought any kind of teething ring out there,and this is all that seems to actually soothe her gums,they also have a new baby orajel that comes with a break off applicator that you apply with a Qtip.its alot better than the plain old baby orajel.
Reply:I used to give my son a cold apple (whole, peeled) to suck on. I have heard about those teething tablets as well.
Reply:I know people on here are going to think I'm Crazy and that giving this to a teething baby is bad for it's stomach and digestive system, but it helped with ALL my Nieces and Nephews, and they are adicted to this day... And they loved it..
SLIM JIMS....
you have to stay with them while they are chewing/gumming it to death, but it works wonders....
Reply:when my daughter started teething i gave her the all natural fruit juice popsicles, since she was only 5 months and her mouth was too small for a teething ring. it ends up being a bit messy but she loved it.

6 week old baby teething!!/?
baby is 6 weeks tommorrow....last week I thought I saw a white dot on her lower gum but put it down to a spot of milk...then yesteray my friend ame to visit and commented that she saw a "flash of white" on her bottom gum....my husband just said the same...we had a look and I can see the outline of her lower teeth but one of them is quite close to the surface....is it possible to get teeth this young? Also my friend said that baby would be too young for teething gel or other teething medicine...is she right? baby has been colicky for two weeks though this is geting much better..now I wonder if some of her grizzly moments are due to teething?
6 week old baby teething!!/?
It is possible to teethe that young. I wouldn't give her anything for it unless her pediatrician agrees to something. I haven't yet given my baby any teething gels or anything, just a little tylenol once when he was complaining. he is 9 months old though and just got his first two bottom teeth abut 2 weeks ago..
Reply:Hiya, some babies are actually born with teeth, so its not too soon for them to come through at all. There are some good herbal powders out there for teething which I think newborns can have. They worked wonders for my 2 but they were not as young as yours. Good luck
Reply:Yes it's possible.
Baby Tylenol and suck things can be used but ONLY after you talk to the doctor. They'll take things into consideration like her weight.
Also gripe water is fine to give at 6 weeks, and helps with colic due to teething.
I would say get her some teethers, but she probably doesn't have that hand to mouth thing down yet. My daughter is 7 months and just cut her first tooth, I feel so bad for her, I can't imagine what I would have done 6 months ago!
Good luck and congradualtions! (Remember, it will get easier.)
Reply:It's not common, but definitely possible! My doctor told me that it was okay to use tylenol for teething, which is actually better than oragel because if they ingest too much it can irritate their tummys. Check with your doctor!
Reply:It is quite young but also not unheard of. They could stay like that for a long time yet. Speak to your health visitor to confirm she is teething before you start using teething gel. You could try putting ice on her gums.
Reply:babies can really teethe at any age.. some are born with a full set.. i think you can get something to help soothe her pain.. i think maybe dentinox teething gel is suitable from birth.. you can buy it from Boots, Morrisons, Sainsbury's, Tesco, Lloyds pharmacy.. im sure thats what i used when my daughter had gum boils when she was 5 weeks.. if ur worried give ur health visitor a call or see ur gp.. good luck!!
Reply:It is highly unlikely that the baby is teething at 6wks of age. However, it is not impossible either. Regarding giving gels for teething, I wouldn't subject that little infant to anything toxic from the outside world. Especially, if the baby has been colicky for the past 2wks. Could you check the white spot again and see if it rubs off? Are there any other white spots in the mouth? Roof of mouth? If so, see the doctor. Maybe that is the reason for the colick. FYI, you can call the babies doctors office and ask questions. They will usually answer them for you without being seen.
Reply:Although teeth may not start to come through for at least couple of months, some babies show signs of teething about now. Some don’t have any problems with teething; others become fretful, dribble a lot and have red cheeks.
To help soothe any pain or discomfort your baby has when teething, try
Giving him something hard to bite on such as a teething ring; it may be more soothing if chilled in the fridge first.
tylenol once has caffene in it so dont use that as suggested by another yahoo member
Reply:yes! my baby started at 6 weeks. shes now 13 and crying and moaning alot. we give ours a gel called dentinox i think. pharmacist recommended as she can have from newborn. Also these powders in a green and white box called teetha. they are made by nelsons. my hv said its more common than you think and dont forget some babies are born with teeth. even tho shes started now tho prepare yourself as they may still not be here when she is 9 months. sometimes it takes that long. the main thing when they are that age is just cuddle them as much as poss. oh also boots do a teething blanket from new born. think its their own and tommee tippee do these things called gummies for early teethers. they look like dummies but are gum shaped. hope that helps and i feel for you cos if they arent now then they will be miserable.
Reply:It does happening sometimes in some cases baby's are born with teeth, but the best thing you can do to be on the save side its visit a doctor.
Reply:When my daughter was 2 months old she started acting like she was teething (drooling, chewing on whatever she could get in her mouth, a little fussy) and I could see and feel her two bottom teeth just below the surface. It took two months for those teeth to come through, but once they did the fussiness, chewing, and drooling stopped. So, yeah, babies can start teething that early. I just hope your baby's teeth come through faster than my baby's did! The poor little thing was miserable.

Soothing a teething puppy?
Hi,
My 3 month old beagle puppy is teething and in the last couple of days I've noticed that his gums seem to be a bit more tender then usual. I've established this due to his occasional whines and whimpers while he's playing with his toys. He is also biting me a lot more than he used to and appears only to do this when his toys aren't in reach.
He has lots and lots of chew toys - rope toys, latex toys, rubber toys, plush toys... heaps...
He also gets a bone to chew on once a week and his regular food is dry food.
What can I do for him to help ease the teething pain?... If there is anything I can do.
Soothing a teething puppy?
You could try putting his chew toys in a plastic bag and then put them in the freezer for a couple of minutes until they are nice and cool, then give them to him (remove the bag first!) the coolness will help soothe his gums. But also take him to a vet if the problem persists or gets worse.
Reply:It sounds like you have got it sorted with all the chewy toys and the like!
As for the teething pain you could try giving him a drink of chamomile tea. Just add a tea bag to his water bowl. Or if you are game dip you finger in the tea and rub it on your puppy's gums.
Reply:unfortunately, there is not really anything else you can do. just keep making sure he has plenty to chew on, its there own way of making themselves feel better.
my husky pup did the same as did my previouse pups.
your doing the right thing, just keep your shoes out the way and it will be fine
Reply:You can get an all cotton twine rope toy, soak it and freeze it. He will enjoy the icy chew.

Reply:I try to hand feed mine ice cubes...She likes that:) But the toys are a good thing for him, he has to get through it.
Reply:Check with your vet but I am sure that something like what it used for baby's gums like ambusol in just a very tiny amount would be okay. Do nothing though like that without talking to your vet.
Reply:Take away the bones.
The things that you don't want him to chew need to be put away so that he chews on the proper things. If you don't do it now, he will chew on things with your smell on them and this will be a constant problem for his entire life.
Call your vet. It is possible that you can use the same thing on him they use for humans but it is better to check and make sure.
There is also a canine tylenol you can get but I do not remember the name. Again ask the vet.
Emphasize his plush and rope toys for the time being.
Reply:I knotted up a small towel soaked it in water and froze it. My puppy loves to chew on it.
Reply:Put the shoes in the closet. Dr. Foster and Smith (online) sell a (I believe it's canvas), but is specifically made for teething puppies. it goes in the freezer and they can chew it without tearing it apart. We also used a regular coke bottle (plastic of course) filled it part way with water and froze it. Even with German Shepherd razor sharp puppy teeth, it took him 4 weeks to finally puncture it and all he did was drink the icey cold water. He loves it and it's super cheap.

Even with German Shepherd razor sharp puppy teeth, it took him 4 weeks to finally puncture it and all he did was drink the icey cold water. He loves it and it's super cheap.
Remedies for teething??
My daughter is 6 months and just miserable. She is drooling like mad...ends up soaking my carpet...(lol) and is so fussy. She puts every toy in her mouth and gets so upset when the rattle won't fit in her whole mouth. She tried to chew the coffee table the other day and got mad her head kept hitting it therefore preventing her mouth from reaching it. I wash my hands really good and she will just gnaw on my finger. She chews on her pacifier instead of sucking it, instead of drinking the bottle she chews the nipple. So I am taking this is all signs of her teething, so what remedies will help? I give her teething toys and rub her gums and try to comfort her but I am not sure of any other ideas?..any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Remedies for teething??
Wet/cold wash cloth to chew/suck on
Cold/Frozen carrot to knaw on
Ice cube in mesh feeder bag
Hylands Teething Tablets (All natural, sold in most stores)
Appropriate dose of Motrin or Tylenol, should everything else fail
Baby Oragel (Some say it works, according to AAP it hardens gums, making it difficult for teeth to come thru)
Keep on massaging if she will have it....I use teething rings at room temp for my girl, she will chew on them if not cold, she doesnt like her hands cold...thats all I got...Good Luck!
Reply:Try the teething tablets. I dont remember who makes them but u can get them at walmart. They work great. I lived by them when my kids where younger.
Reply:Tylenol Infant Drops. They really help. You will have to call you doctor to see about the dosage. Put a wet wash cloth in the freezer for a bit and let her chew on that. You can also put it in a zip lock baggie if you don't want the water everywhere.
Reply:Good day,
Teething..... Think frozen peas, Melba tst, frozen banana. cheerios... Web site out there also. Put the teething rings in the freezer. Talk with your Dr. that is what they are there for..Isnt motherhood grand...
Reply:First of all, be careful for the table if it's wood. You don't want splinters or such in her little mouth. :-)
Talking w/ my baby's pediatrician, he told me to take a q-tip and soak it in children's benedryl. This will numb her gums for at least a good hour. The baby oragel did not work for her at all. My daughter is almost 7 months and is still teething, meaning they still have not come thru. The benedryl really seems to work for her and she's not ingesting this as a medicine and it does not make her sleep (since she's not ingesting it). Talk to your pediatrician about using the benedryl before buying it. Your's may have another suggestion instead. Also try wetting one corner of a wash cloth in cold water; my daughter enjoys gumming this also. Best of luck!
Reply:Teething pills work well as does baby oral gel, you can also get some of the kool aid freezer pops hold them let her gum them. If you find a teething toy you freeze they work well too. You can get the teething pills at the drug store and also the oral gel.
Reply:wet a washcloth and put it in the fridge i had the same problem with my 11 month old and still do.she only has cut 3 teeth and i have bought any kind of teething ring out there,and this is all that seems to actually soothe her gums,they also have a new baby orajel that comes with a break off applicator that you apply with a Qtip.its alot better than the plain old baby orajel.
Reply:I used to give my son a cold apple (whole, peeled) to suck on. I have heard about those teething tablets as well.
Reply:I know people on here are going to think I'm Crazy and that giving this to a teething baby is bad for it's stomach and digestive system, but it helped with ALL my Nieces and Nephews, and they are adicted to this day... And they loved it..
SLIM JIMS....
you have to stay with them while they are chewing/gumming it to death, but it works wonders....
Reply:when my daughter started teething i gave her the all natural fruit juice popsicles, since she was only 5 months and her mouth was too small for a teething ring. it ends up being a bit messy but she loved it.

My babys teething?
Ever since she started teething she wakes up every hour through out the night. She use to sleep through the night before her teething. What can i do to get her to sleep at night? How long will this be going on for?
My babys teething?
Baby Orajel works wonders! Even baby tylenol
Reply:yes, baby oragel or tylenol. Also try a teether (not the liquid filled ones) i used to give my daughter a wet cloth to chew on. she loved that!
how long it will last depends on each child.
my son isn't waking at night, but he does have a few rashes, doctor says it's normal.
Reply:Teething is different for each child. Ask your doctor in the morning if it's okay to give the baby a bit of Tylenol. Never do this without asking a doctor first as it's based on age, weight and overall health!
Secondly, try putting a damp washcloth in the fridge for a bit to cool and let the baby chew on it. Mine have not had a lot of pain with teething. We only had maybe one to 2 nights when the molars were coming in that it was really bad. We let them chew on washclothes, teethers, my son chewed on my knuckle for awhile before the front teeth came in.
It should only be a few nights, keep the same bedtime ritual, but be ready to get up with baby if he's really unhappy, they really just want to be held when they are hurting.
Reply:The worst times will be the couple of day periods when the teeth are actually cutting through the gums. There are several things you can try. Tylenol or Motrin work well to calm the swelling/fever. Orajel can work to numb the gums. If your baby will use it, a teether helps. My sister had to go so far as to dab whiskey on my nephew's gums because nothing else would work. That numbed his gums as well as put him to sleep. Although I don't much care for using alcohol with a child, it did work wonders. I hope all of this helps you some.
Reply:Just like everyone else said... with my three children, I used orajel and baby tylenol. Sometimes you can use a very little bit of baby benadryl to help them sleep. But there will be times when nothing at all helps them, you will just have to suffer. lol. I found that it calmed them when I bent a finger and rubbed their gums with my knuckle. They would stop crying.
Reply:Baby oragel has a nighttime formula that I used when my daughter first started teething, it helped some but she still woke up a little more often than she used to. It only lasted a few weeks and then she was back to her normal routine. It got thrown off when her next tooth came in but not as bad.
Reply:It seems like just when you got the child to finally start sleeping through the night there comes something else to wake them up, their teeth. What I tell parents is to give the baby some Tylenol if they seem like they are in pain, this will help calm and soothe your baby, you can also try some baby oragel, but put a very small amount on and make sure to only put in on the babies gums.
Reply:Infant Tylenol works good. It also makes them sleepy, which is good for the baby and the parent. It can go on for quite awhile. It depends on how fast the teeth come in. Teething rings also help.
