Baby Orajel

EllasMommy2010

I got Baby Orajel as a baby gift and have never used it until today.  Since the teething tablets were recalled and DD was so miserable today (She is cutting 4 top teeth) even though I gave her ibuprofen, I tried a little Orajel.  She did not like the taste and it didn't seem to help.

I always like to taste everything I give DD, so a little bit ago I just rubbed a little Orajel on my mouth.  Soooo gross tasting!  No wonder she didn't like it!  It did make my mouth feel a little numb, but only lasted 5 minutes or so.  I don't think I will be giving it to her again.

Does anyone use this?

I used it a few times when DS cut his top teeth. Honestly, I think tylenol worked better, but it did seem to help temporarily. He didn't mind the taste though.

We've used it before. What flavor do you have? When it comes to medicine, I rather give them something even if it tastes bad. I always hated the taste of Tylenol but would still give it to DS.

It works really well for DS. It takes the motrin awhile to kick in so when he is inconsolable the orajel works quickly to calm him down.

My DD loves it! She licks and sticks her tongue in and out because it makes her mouth numb. Ours tastes kind of strawberry-ish.

I just started using chamomillia tablets and Camilia, both by boiron. They seemed to work wonders! (I was using tylenol/motrin every night and wasn't comfortable doing so)
