Teeth At 3 Months...
Posted: 02-20-07 14:33pm

My 3 month old has two bottom teeth coming
in... I can feel them and I can see the
tips... She screams in pain ( I thought it
was gas pain until I noticed the teeth ),
but her doctor told me she is too young
for pain medication. She said the only
thing I can do is give her a teething
ring, but she isn't very good at holding
onto things and putting them into her
mouth yet, and I can't sit and hold a
teething ring in her mouth all day....
What do I do!?!!? Is baby ambesol ok?

i don't know about ambesol but i know baby
oragel is for 4 months and up. you can
give her infant tylenol and instead of a
teething ring i'd suggest freezing a wet
washcloth, then you can just hold it for
her and let her chew at it for a bit.

My daughter is teething too but nothing
has popped through yet. She started right
around 3 months & her doctor told me I
could give her .8 ml of infant tylenol..
But it is different with every baby &
doctor so you might wanna call her doc
& just check with him/her before you
give her anything. Also, I wouldn't even
bother with teething rings, I have found
those things to be pretty useless...Frozen
washclothes work much better. Good luck!

you can't give a baby infant tylenol
unless instructed by your doctor until 6
months old. they say you can give them to
infants after shots but only for a 24
hour.
i gave amelia motrin with her teeth but
only because my dr told me too. call your
doctor and see what they say.
good luck to you girl.

right, because they don't put the dosage
for infants on the bottle. your doctor
should give you a dosage chart that you
can keep.
it's infant tylenol, it's made
for babies.

Thats why i said tempra! its less
confusing...my son weighs 15 lbs or so and
takes 4-6 month dose because it goes b y
weight and it seems to relieve some of his
pain..actually it knocks him out!

tylenol is safe from birth-thats what my
son was given after circumcision. call
your pharmacy for dose also the askdrsears
website has dosing for everything under
"medicine cabinet". motrin is safe for
babies over 6 months.
ive never heard of that medicine either
nancy, it must be a canadian thing.
also, i didnt know orajel says 4
months...i have the little teethers brand
and it doesnt say that, i dont think.

my son had no interest in his teething
rings until like 6 months. younger babies
really have no idea what they are so you
just have to wait a while with those.

thats what i thought, also it looks way
to big for his mouth, when i put it in his
mouth it looks like it pulls open his lips
abit.
