We used them a lot too There is another great product that has NOT been recalled by Boiron - called Camilia that has chamomile in it. They sell it at Whole Foods and Henry's market in my area. They seem to take the edge off if you don't want to give Tylenol or Motrin. Also, FWIW, a homeopathic practitioner in my area had this to say about Hylands:
From Hyland's website: https://www.hylands. com/news/ teethinginfo. php <https://www.hylands. com/news/ teethinginfo. php> Below is a clip (bolds are mine). Go to the URL for more comprehensive info. QUOTE: Belladonna is included in the Tablets to ease the redness, inflammation and discomfort of the child's gum that often occurs during the teething process. Belladonna 3X HPUS is manufactured from the whole plant, of which a small portion is Belladonna alkaloids (the component sometimes associated with side effects). Each Teething Tablet (which weighs about 65 mg) is composed of 0.0003% Belladonna alkaloids as stated on the label. This means that each complete teething tablet contains only approximately 0.0002 mg of Belladonna alkaloids.
The amount of Belladonna alkaloids in teething tablets is minuscule, especially when compared to conventional medicine. Conventional medicines typically use 0.2 to 5 mg of Belladonna alkaloids per tablet as an anti-spasmodic ?roughly 1,000 to 25,000 times larger than the quantities used in Hyland's etc. ------------------------------------------------------------------ Take it with a grain of salt, as with anything, one has to do what feels right for their family. I will not be giving DD Hyland's for the time being, but am a bit less worried after reading this information.
