So, teething was hard for us. Some of it is trial and error to see what your child likes. I liked the teething toys you could put in the refrigerator to make cold. Honestly, the best teether was the basic set of teething keys. I also reccomend getting a teething pacifier clip if your child takes a pacifier. We tried the munch mitts which DS had no interest in. Also tried the amber teething necklace. I honestly don't think it was any help. Also, keep tylenol and motrin on hand. I don't necessarily like to have to give my child medicine, but on the hard nights of teething, it was a lifesaver.

We also used the teethers that go in the fridge. DS liked his Munch Mitt for a while, but then he got sick of it. The rice rusks were a big hit once he was starting to get food too.

Teething bibs with the silicone at the bottom! DD didn't love cold things but always needed to have something in her mouth- and THE DROOL!! 
Munchie mitt was her bff- we had like 5!

DD didn’t like anything cold. Munch mitt worked a bit, she loved the banana toothbrush tether and any basic teething toys. The only thing that really worked on bad nights was Motrin and Camilia drops.

I registered for two kinds of teething necklaces- the amber one for baby & a silicone one that mama wears. Anyone ever use either of those for their little one?

@phinzlabyrinth I used a silicone one some.  It worked well for DS when we were out in public. If you have long hair, I recommend not getting one that has the silicone beads all around, it got stuck in my hair a few times. I think they sell them will just a silicone charm that baby can chew on, too.

@doraleigh35 DD2 LOVED that banana toothbrush! I had like 3 of them because she’d always lose them but wanted it constantly

My first two got all their teeth fast, all in including 2 year molars by 18-ish months. DS got all six front top at the same time 😬

we stuck to Motrin for relief, especially at night. We used the teething biscuits (plum organic I believe) once we introduced solids, infantino teethers and both were paci users. Considering how many came in at once and how fast, they handled teething well. 

we stay away from creams/gels as well as amber necklaces due to the dangers. Neither show any benefits and the risk of injury/death is scary as hell.
