Teething - Help!!

Plumeria1214

After surviving daylights saving, growth spurt, and six month shots... We just had 3 nights of good sleep... Well, the light at the end of the tunnel was an oncoming train because I think she's started teething. She screamed bloody murder at every nap today and would cry on and off all day. She's normally a happy, easy going baby. I thought she was just overtired. Tonight it took 2.5 hours of screaming... Nothing worked. I finally gave her Tylenol because I suspected teething, and then she was finally able to sleep. 

My my pediatrician said try not to use Tylenol or Motrin "because babies teerh, they get through it." but I was crying as I held her listening to her cry that way and be in possible pain and not be able to do anything. 

For or those who have gone through it, any tips?? I have lots of teethers. Is Tylenol ok? How often? How long does it usually last?

We have found some relief for LO with a frozen damp washcloth that she chews on and using one of those mesh feeders with frozen breastmilk cubes (we have a tiny cube ice tray). Seems to really soothe her sore gums.

Amber teething necklace, highland teething tabs, frozen wash cloths, gum massage. My MD said only give tylenol if they get a high fever. My lo popped two teeth out two weeks ago it was hard on him. I'm almost certain he's getting his top two now as well.

Just saw my prediction yesterday and he said she's starting to teeth and giving Tylenol at night is okay to help baby sleep.
