Ahhh!!! Teething can be a nightmare for
both parents and baby.
I will offer what I did with my daughter.
I used the baby orajel. There is a
nighttime relief formula, but I'm not sure
that it is any different than the regular
kind. She doesn't like the taste of it and
it could be a pain to get it in her mouth,
but the soothing that comes from it is a
lot better than the yucky-taste face.
ALso, there are these things on the market
called teething tablets. They are
homeopathic, so no drugs involved. You
just put 2-3 tabs under the baby's tongues
and they dissolve. They worked great for
us.
Other home remedies that worked for us:
Holding a frozen waffle in her
mouth-sounds funny but since it's edible,
it works great. She just chewed them. The
cold can be soothing as well.
You can always hold the teething rings in
her mouth and let her chomp for a while.
Refrigerate them, that's even better.
Dunno other than that. Try the teething
tablets. I swear by them.

Those teething rings never worked for us.
We just let Kaylee chew on a frozen
washcloth (Wet it & put it in a zip
lock bag in the freezer) & Infants
Motrin works wonders but I'm pretty sure
you can't use that until 6 months..

We just used orajel. She wasnt a chewer so
that wasnt an option.

Hello Vanessa. I think we are going
through similar things right with our lil'
ones. Brian hardly ever cried until the
past two days. He seems so miserable.

OH boy, you too? Hopefully it won't last
long. I hope you are all doing well
otherwise.
