Teething aids??

Yeh to exclusively breasfeeding and no paceys!!!! Same here! What has worked best for my three where the Hylands tablets (seemed to work better than the gel)A wet washcloth, especially if it was put in the freezer for a little bit to make it cool. Also the HABA wooden toys which are nice and hard are good for chomping. Sometimes mommies finger is good for chomping on too LOL.

I have an 8 month old and he has two teeth. He got them when he was 6 months old. He won't take pacifiers either. I give him those teething tablets and they seem to work well. I had used the baby orajel but he would throw up everytime I used it so I had to quit using that. A cold, damp washcloth helps and also my son chews on those squeeze bathtub toys (I don't really know how else to explain it). I'm adding a picture of some teething tablets we use with him. We got them at walgreens.

You could try wetting and freezing a baby washcloth and then let the baby chew on it! My son loves that. My kids didn't get teeth until 10 & 11 months, though.

I put icecubes in a washcloth and then tied the end of it with a rubber band and let them gum on the washcloth & their wasn't direct contact to the icecub so it wouldn't freeze or hurt the gums. This usually helped. Also, you could get water on four corners of a washcloth and then freeze it and take them out when your child needs something to chew on. Another thing I listed in another post is these things called --Munchkins found at Wal-mart. Anyways, you can put all sorts of food in them and it's in a mesh type small bag so your child won't choke.. but you can put frozen fruit in there and your child can gum on it to help ease the pain. If it's really bad-- ask your Dr. if you can give some tylenol to help ease the pain like if it's interfering with your child's sleep. good luck!

My babies got teeth closer to 8 months, but each kid is different. What worked the best with my son (and still does) put a damp cloth in the freezer, after it is cold, put it in a plastic bag and let him "chew" on that. Also, a child's toothbrush might help. I have also used raw vegtables that are cold-carrot, celery-just make sure they are not a choking hazard for him. Good luck!!
