Tips for Teething..... HELP!!!?
I remember those days. The only other thing I can think of is baby oragel and teething rings.
Reply:You might want to try Baby Orajel.
Reply:My daughter liked the teethers you can freeze. I would also put her pacifiers in the fridge before I gave them to her. That seemed to help.
Good Luck!
Reply:'you are already doing just fine, the only other thing i can suggest would be baby oragel to put on his gums, when he seems to be having a bad time, I wouldn"t reccomend using it all of the time
Reply:nothing else really. you are doing everything right. just give him a big hug and kiss that calmed my son down as he knew i was there and when he fell asleep i gave him a teddy that smelt like me which helped him relax, also there are books on baby massage. there are some techniques for teething babies i do it with my 5 month and he loves it
Reply:My son is 6 months and his doc said it was okay if I put frozen or cold fruit in a mesh bag. My son has 1 tooth and getting his second one in and he loves it.
Hope this helps.
Reply:You could feed him popsicles if he's extra fussy, this will help keep him hydrated too.

Four month old with teething pain?
My four month old daughter is teething. She is normally so happy and smily, however no she just crys and fusses and wants to nurse day and night. I have tried teething gel- she hates it and screams (I think she doesn't like the numbing effect) I've given her tylenol- no effect, cold teething rings- she pushes them away. The only thing that will some times work- I have her bassinet (which she is to big for) set up in her room with toys in it, next to it is the rocker. She will sit on my lap, lean forward and grab the top rim of the bassinet and chew on it. Sometimes she will do this for 20 min. at a time.
Does anyone else have any other ideas to help ease her pain?
Four month old with teething pain?
Our son was like that. Teething stinks. Here's what worked for us, http://www.munchkin.com/products/detail.... We added frozen berries and bananas to it, even ice cubes. He would suck on that thing forever and loved the flavors of different foods. He got some nutrition, and it numbed his gums. Hope that helps!
Reply:i like all of the other answers but my daughters peditrician recomended teething drops they works instantly they are great! They are exspecially great for children like mine she is two months two weeks old and already teething! Report It
Reply:Exactly what you are doing. She will let you know what feels the best. ANd it looks like she found it. I would take that piece off, so she can teeth with it in a more comfortable position (as long as their aren't chokable parts).
Reply:They make a vibrating teether that my 4 month old son likes. It's funny because he makes funny faces when I first give it to him, but then he enjoys it. It's heavy and he can't hold it yet, so I hold it for him.
he also enjoys to chew on a clean burp rag or a bib he has on.
Reply:my son loved a cold wet wash cloth. I would just wet it and ring it out and stick it in the freezer for a few minutes and hand it to him, He would chew on it till he was tired of it.
Reply:If you have some rum or coniac in the house, dip your finger into the liquid and rub it on her gum. This helpsto mildly numb her gum, and relaxes her a bit.
I know it sounds bad, but my baby's Pediatric told me to do it and it worked for my baby.
Reply:I am in the exact same situation with my little boy, he is 4 months and two weeks. He will not even nurse sometimes, he gets fussy, red and squirms away. He puts everything in his mouth except for the teething ring, pacifier and whatever else he is supposed to be using along those lines. My doctor told me to use Orajel but that is only temporary and to use Tylenol but I do not want to drug him everyday. I have tried ouzo/raki (alcohol) but that will only burn. The doctor said to definately not do that, it is only for grown up toothaches, it burns the baby more then relax/numb it. Sometimes I rub my finger along his gums and that seems to settle him for a bit.

Symptoms when teething?
I think my 19 month old son is getting his eye teeth. What arre common symptoms of that. He has had a nasty runny nose for about 4 days, and yesterday his eyes started watering pretty bad now he has a mid grade fever. Are these all common with teething or is he sick on top of teething. please.
Symptoms when teething?
sounds like allergies that have turned into a cold to me. My kids have mild allergies but then it ends up turing into a cold everytime.
Reply:could be otherwise there is a nasty cold going around
Reply:My son went through exactly the same thing recently. It is quite normal.
My son really started having sever pains and fevers though. We took him down A%26amp;E one night and they recommended double dosing him with paracetamol, and giving him Piraton (analgesic to help him sleep).
Please please, do not do the same without checking with your GP/ Doctor first, every child is different...
Good luck, and don't worry too much, that's the joy of growing up....
Reply:my daughter is going through the same thing. Shes cutting both her bottom 2 eye teeth and 1 tooth beside the eye tooth together. She has been running a fever up to 102F, runny nose, and a cough for the last week. I thought it was due to teething but took her to her doctor on friday that said it was a virus.

My baby teething?
ok so my baby girl is 4 months old and i dont kno but i think she might be starting to teeth..im not sure though..she is chewing on her fingers alot and drooling more than usual..shes really cranky and irritable and i kno she doesnt have a fever or anything..shes been like this for 3 days now..could she be teething? if so what can i do to calm her down she wont take a teething ring...any advice? thank you
My baby teething?
sounds like teething to me, try baby oregel(did spell that right lol) or teething tablets. if u can ease her pain she might take the teething ring which will help cut the teeth faster.
Reply:Yes it's teething. You can give the cool but not frozen teethers, baby orajel the over night formula works best, and also try a clean wet washcloth to chew on. Talk to your doctor about pain management.
Reply:"breastfeeding is a great way to help soothe the baby. The sucking seems to massage the gums while calming the baby. Another trick to try is a frozen washcloth. Just soak a washcloth with drinking water and place in the freezer. Babies love it as it is cold and moulds itself around their gums. I haven’t mentioned teething rings yet because I have found them to only be effective for short periods of time. It is cheaper and perhaps more effective to clean some of the baby’s plastic toys so that he/she can gnaw on it. Select toys with no sharp edges and no parts that can be pulled off. "

" You can help soothe teething pain in a number of ways:
* Biting hard objects, such as teething rings, can provide some comfort to the child during the teething process.
* Cold. A frozen banana or popsicle may also soothe the gums during teething.
* Numbing. Teething gels like Baby Orajel or Baby Ambesol, can be applied. Some of these gels contain sugar so they should be used judiciously.
* Baby ibuprofen. This analgesic can be given to your baby during a particularly difficult episode."

Reply:give her a cold, whole pickle to gum on; she sure could be teething. I had a doc tell me that the most pain is before the teeth actually cut and that it can take a while before they actually do cut through so be patient. Other ideas for teether relief; peeled, washed, whole large carrots w/ thin end broken off so it doesn't break off in babys mouth; your clean fingers, if it is really bad tylenol or baby orajel
Reply:Yep. It sounds like she's teething sure enough. Even though she's teething, don't be surprised if you don't see the teeth break through for awhile. It can take awhile.
When my daughters were teething, there were a few things that really seemed to help them. Some of these might help with your daughter:
1. Freeze one of her pacifiers (if she uses them).
2. Freeze some string cheese or a banana. If she's not taking the teething ring, she might like these. They're cold, they taste good, and they're the right shape.
3. Use your finger to gently rub her gums.
4. If she'll let you rub her gums, try it with a little baby oragel on your finger.
Good luck!
Reply:my son is the same age and just cut his first tooth!
he really liked sucking on a warm, damp (clean!) rag and i got some soothing chamomile drops (no tyelnol or anything like that.... all natural) that really seemed to soothe him.
my son didn't run a fever, but he was (and still is- i think he's trying to get another one already!) drooling buckets, let me tell you!
are the teething rings you are trying to give your daughter chilled? if they are, try to introduce them to her again after getting them back to room temperature. my son didn't like teething rings that were chilled at all and he wanted one that he could hold onto himself, so maybe finding something smaller would help.
anyway, good luck!!! the minute that tooth breaks the skin, though, she'll be back to her old self!!!

Reply:she is most likely teething, my advice is teething tabs, they're homeopathic. also, boil some old keys and put them in the fridge, it helps cut the gums a little and make it easier for the teeth to come in. i've raised 2 kids and am starting on my grandson. it's worked like a charm. you should also give her tylenol if she gets too fussy because it does hurt.

What does teething mean(for cats)? i think mine mite be teething, what are the sighns?
my cat is young and is drooling. and hasnt lost her baby teeth yet. what are other sighnes of teething. and what does it meen to teeth? thankyou to everyone for the help.
What does teething mean(for cats)? i think mine mite be teething, what are the sighns?
same as people. they chew things to relieve pressure.
when they are chewing, theyre losing their teeth
Reply:hehe, she will be biting on your hand and the ends of the couch soon, all kittens do this, its part of exploring and growing up, she will grow outta it, but it just takes time, try buying some rubber small doggie toys, just so she wont ruin the coffee table like mine did:) good luck!
Reply:Kittens usually begin teething at around 4 months old and should have all their adult teeth by the time they are around 6 months old.
Teething is painful because the new teeth have to push through their gums. As a result, kittens often begin chewing on hard or rubbery things as a way of coping with the pain. There are soft rubber toys that you can buy for teething kittens to chew. Alternatively, take a clean face cloth, knot it, dampen it with water and then put it in the freezer to chill. Chewing on something cool like the cloth, can also help relieve the pain of inflamed gums. (Similar to those gel teething rings that you put in the freezer for babies .)
Reply:Just like humans, cats have 2 sets of teeth. The first set is called the milk teeth or deciduous teeth and they start to come in when the kitten is about 4 weeks old. They continue to come in until all 26 milk teeth have appeared, usually by 6 weeks. These teeth are non-permanent and they begin to fall out from 11 weeks until 30 weeks.
This is a time which is similar to teething in human babies, so the kitten may have sore gums, may do a bit of complaining and may eat less due to pain. During the time when the milk teeth are falling out, new permanent teeth are coming in until all 30 of them have developed and have replaced the milk teeth usually by 8-9 months.

Question about teething and bleeding gums?
My 18 month old i THOUGHT has been teething because of the extra drool and all the other signs, but just now he had bloody drool. My oldest didn't bleed when her teeth came out, i was wondering if this is normal? His teething is a lot worse than hers was.
Question about teething and bleeding gums?
Yes, bleeding is normal. All babies are different. Some will bleed others won't. Some drool more than others. Some are crankier than others. As long as it's a small amount of blood, i woulnd't worry about it.
Reply:AS long as it is a little blood its fine. There are sharp teeth coming in. Just make sure to give them some Tylenol and maybe some Oragel and something to chew on.
