My LO is just getting his first tooth and it is not going well. Around bedtime for the last 3 nights he is screaming, arching his back and just crying and crying. I can see it coming through but not all the way yet.
He's normally a happy baby but this is rough for him. We tried Tylenol/Motrin but neither seemed to help. He finally fell asleep about 10 minutes ago - I think out of sheer exhaustion.
THanks
Re: What worked for teething?
Tylenol, Nighttime Orajel, and this vibrating teether thing. It is made by Infantino. Target carries it. There is one that looks like a bunch of grapes and one that looks like a strawberry. When they bite on it, it vibrates. DS loves it!
Good luck!
giving ice in the mesh feeder and frozen carrot sticks during the day, motrin before bed and for those rare times where he just cries and cries, we give orajel.
people hate on orajel but it works really well for us.
oh, ds likes this too! we have the grapes one.
I'm hte first to admit that this sounds crazy but... a natural amber infant necklace. I had read online that when amber is worn against the skin it releases something that is suppose to ease the pain of teething. I thought it's worth a try.
We're now 1 month in, and have broke 3 molars with NO PROBLEMS at all. No fussiness, no waking, nothing!
Like I said, I know it sounds crazy, but I'm believer now!
