I'm losing it.

[Kat]

for teething Alicia...the best thing to do (for Kylie at least) was rub benadryl on the gums. Worked wonders for Kylie when she wouldnt be soothed by anything. I hated giving her tylenol too but the benedryl worked to numb em' a bit...might work for him too

 

[dt3]

You try taking him for a car ride? Usually works wonders for Dominic. Except last night...

 

[GraceAbounds]

the anbesol doesn't really work that well...and i hate giving him tylenol b/c i feel like i'm drugging him up..i do give it to him, just not all the time.

We used a natural med for our kids when they were teething. They are these little pills that dissolve immediately upon contact with saliva and you rub it on their gums. It worked like a charm. Besides the drooling we could not even tell they were teething. Frozen waffles work good too.

Yes, try anything cold/frozen for him to chew on.

Only things that will dissolve.

LOL, yes, I do...have kids! ZOMGGGGGGGGG

"Kids" even????....double dayuuumn. You gots good genes. :clap

 

[Jersey]

Pretzel rods and those umm.. hard breadsticks... (what the heck are they called???)

 

[Jersey]

melba toast.. thats it

 

[Tim]

He's too young for any foods yet. It would be scary if he was able to work a piece of the Melba toast loose from all the drool... it's even too early for waffles. He does like a wet frozen washcloth to bite on.

I was looking at the melba toast at the store the other night, I remember it worked wonders on my other kids... I'm just afraid at 4 months, he's still to young yet for that.

 

[debbie t]

teething rings you can put in the freezer are ace...we used to rotate two of them

 

[Tim]

We have 4 or 5 different types of those cold/frozen teething rings... he doesn't care to much for them if they are too cold... I hope he gets to the point where he'll realize how good the cold ones can feel.

 

[Kat]

Hey tim what about my benedryl idea? Numbs without drugging? Would that work for you guys? I know kylie didnt have any interest for teethers either.

I'd like to join you in the losing it moment.

We bought some Orajel to numb his gums... If that doesn't work, I don't know what will....

(((bulb)))....What about a comforter? Something soft too suck.

Worked for me.

There's a baby safe version of Benadryl now? News to me!

You're not actually giving them a dose of it. And yes the doctors told me it was safe for her (even my uncle who is a doctor told me that). Even that young...just to rub it on their gums

 

[Keight]

Does he have a pacifier? I used to put my youngest's pacifier in the freezer only for a little so it didnt get too cold but still worked a treat.

Hope things get a little easier for you

From day one this kid wouldn't take a pacifier... we could try... but I doubt it.

I think the Oragel and his rough teething ring or frozen wash cloth will work.
