What can you do to help relieve teething pain other than the usual chilled chew toys they have for babies?
homeopathic teething tablets....if they are not strong enough go to homeopathic chamomilla 30C....do some basic research on homeopathy so you understand. If you have questions let me know. Amazing and safe!
How old is your baby? Teething tablets work for some (there are many brands), but we had to go to Tylenol, and now Motrin. My finger was the best for chewing, although as he got more teeth, I only resorted to that when necessary, but it was still preferred...even now. :)
If you are going to do the frozen food, they have little netting type things that you can use so that they don't choke on it. My son never really felt like eating when he was teething though.
We used frozen food like bagels (in the litle net baggies) or even large carrots - not the little ones they can choke on. We never medicated, wasn't necessary. All kids are different though. Good luck
My dad did leatherwork, so he would give us a piece of leather to gnaw on.
There are the usual things, baby oragel, and even tylenol if it gets real bad. For our son, there are these teething tablets taht work wonders for him. They are Hylands teething tablets. You can put them into a bottle, or for us, just in the mouth seems to work best. They work INSTANTLY!!
Good luck!
Baby Orajel numbing gel, teething tablets, homeopathic teething drops and a food teether with frozen grapes or frozen pears/peaches/watermelon. Picture of food teether is at link below.
My chin! LoL The other suggestions, & my babys always like those foam letters you play with in the tub, the kind we have are smooth on one side & bumpy on the other. They love nawing on those, anything they can stick in there mouth that's textured. Hylands teething tablets, A liquid called Chamomilla by Borion I think. Go to your local whole foods/health store & ask them about all your options, you'd be suprised how many great things they have!
Try a damp washcloth that has been chilled in the fridge! If your baby is eating solids my kids liked gnawing on frozen eggo waffles. They are already fully cooked and the little pockets absorb a lot of drool! Lol
A couple of natural ways. Take a baby washcloth, put a knot in the middle, dip the ends in cold water, give to baby.
Clove oil. I made some for my baby to rub on his gums. I used 1 tbsp of olive oil and about 10 drops of clove bud essential oil, mix well, apply to gums. Clove EO needs to be diluted. Makes it nice and numb. At first they may not like it, but after awhile when they notice the immediate pain relieve, they like it very much.
Teething tablets, cold wash cloths, frozen things like frosen mango pieces, just be careful of choking, motrin, tylenol. We're in the same boat with multiple molars coming in. Poor babies!
we did tylenol/motrin/orajel at times and others the cold teething rings but mine loved cold damp wash cloths.
Hylands Teething Tablets!!!!
