Teething

Pearlvirus

Im getting desperate here. She's not sleeping and is so fussy the last three days. I'm doing Advil every 6 hours, but what else can I do? How would you get the gel onto a molar? Are the tabs safe? How do I get her to chew on frozent things? Help!

Teething is the worst!! You could try using a different kind of pain meds. Maybe the advil isn't doing the trick. I usually offer my lo some cold water to drink if his teeth are bothering him or you could see if she would like to suck on a sugar free popsicle? I don't use the teething gel..I heard somewhere that it can numb their throats if swallowed.

We have just recently started using hyland's teething tablets. They seem to work really well! Give it a shot. It's pretty easy to get it under their tongue or on the gums. They dissolve really fast.

I second the teething tablets! I do a shot of Tylenol and after a few hours I give her 2 teething tablets to supplement. I have checked with the pediatrician and she said that Tylenol and teething tablets are fine to take together.

We use the teething tablets too. DS also likes almost frozen washcloths dipped in chamomile tea.

DD is a late teether. She just cut her first two teeth in the past couple weeks. She really like chewing a cold washcloth. I have also been giving her a bit of Motrin...more so because she has been sick but I'm sure it has helped.
