Teething question

Ali212

I can't believe I never had to deal with this with my now-toddler but teething was easy for her...anyway, I can see the bottom two teeth underneath my 6 month-old's gums which explains her extreme fussiness (or maybe it just partly explains it).  What do you give for pain when teething?  Infant tylenol?  I thought I heard cautions against orajel but I never really paid attention since we didn't have this with my older daughter.

One dose of tylenol always does the trick with DD. Orajel often has dyes in it, and it washes away in the saliva pretty quickly.

At 6 months, pedi gave us the ok for infant ibuprofen, and we found that worked better for her teething pain.

we use tylenol when DD teethes.  we also give her a frozen washcloth or cold teether to chew on.

A little tylenol normally helps.  We have teething toys in the fridge but they still don't really understand what to do with them.  I put them in their mouth and they just look at me, like what are you doing?  I might get flamed for this, but you can also rub a TINY bit of whiskey on their gums.
