Anyone have a remedy for teething

Littlemac4

Little man is 5 months old and I think he is cutting his first teeth.  He cries out in pain from a sound sleep.  We have given him teething tablets and tylenol but it's not helping.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Oragel?  Have you seen those little mesh feeders?  I put bananas in those and freeze them and she goes to town on them....but, they are super messy!

Hylands and Tylenol always did the trick for DD. Sorry - I hope he feels better =(

people responded to my pp -- motrin for teething.

and wine for mama.

Motrin definitely works better for E than tylenol, but we couldn't give motrin until she hit 6 months.

And even with motrin, she still cries out during her sleep. I hate teething!

When DS was teething we would soak a baby washcloth under running water and wring it out.  Then roll it up and put it in a sandwich bag and throw it in the freezer.  Don't freeze it all the way through, just enough to make it cool and somewhat firm.  We would give him a dose of Motrin and then while we were waiting for that to kick in, we would give him the frozen washcloth to chew on for a while.  He loved it.
