spacelover8126 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 What is your favorite remedy for a teething baby? My daughter has been working on multiple teeth, including 3 molars, and has been up half the night for 2 weeks despite oceans of Tylenol. Help!

Perfect7 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Hyland's Teething Tablets (yes, I know they have been recalled, but that isn't because they are BAD... it's the "potential" - which I find silly because everything has the POTENTIAL to be bad). Baltic Amber Necklace (do a search or go to Inspired by Finn, it's amazing stuff). Anbesol or Orajel. Ibuprofen or Tylenol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I have a friend who swears by Hyland's too. I guess I'll run out and get some later. I guess you found amber worked for you; it doesn't work for us, unfortunately. Thanks for the suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silva Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Have you tried putting a teething ring in the fridge to get cold as chewing on this helps cool the sore gums? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddys Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Have you tried frozen waffles? Give the waffle still frozen to the baby and let her/him chew on it. Of course you have to monitor them while they are doing this so they won't get choked on the pieces that come off but it does work well to let them chew the teeth through, especially back molars. Wishing you good luck and sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacelover8126 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 I've tried both teething rings and waffles. Sometimes she deigns to use them, instead of sitting there crying. I've gotten a bit more sleep last night, which was great. I had to go to her only 3 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klicky Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Cloves are great for numbing painful teeth. For babies, put some ground cloves on your finger and rub it against her gum. For adults you either use ground cloves, or you can hold a whole clove against the painful tooth until it feels numb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacelover8126 Posted December 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 Yes, my little girl has been suffering (and making us suffer) for a few weeks now. I thought she was better but today was rough again. It can't last much longer though; she doesn't have that many missing teeth left! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJakob Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 As perfect said the Hylands Teething Tablets are AMAZING. My son is going through this right now also and things are much better after we got some of these tablets. You can not find them in the stores though as they have been recalled. I found them on ebay.

Perfect7 Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Hyland's DOES currently have a gel out that is nearly as good as the tablets - it contains the same ingredients, but I guess less of some of them. I got a tube of it when I ran out of the tablets this week (poor planning there - I meant to get more before they disappeared everywhere but didn't!).
